Quentero Returns to Houston, Towles sent to Round Rock

(7-22-08)

Cassel called up to start Tuesday; Borkowski designated for
assignment

HOUSTON (AP) - The Houston Astros activated catcher Humberto
Quintero from the disabled list and optioned catcher J.R. Towles to
Triple-A Round Rock after its 9-3 loss to Pittsburgh.
Quintero went on the DL after he was hit in the head with a bat
and sustained a concussion against Los Angeles on July 1. He
finished a three-day rehab assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi
on last night.
Towles is hitting .143 in 60 games with the Astros this season.
He was 3-for-23 since being recalled from the minors to replace
Quintero.
The Astros also recalled right-hander Jack Cassel from Triple-A
Round Rock to start Tuesday's game against the Pirates. In the
corresponding move, the Astros designated RHP Dave Borkowski for
assignment. Borkowski was 0-2 with a 7.45 ERA and hadn't pitched
since July 11.
