Towles optioned to minors, again: The Houston Astros activated catcher Humberto Quintero from the disabled list and optioned catcher J.R. Towles to Triple-A Round Rock after Monday's 9-3 loss to Pittsburgh.
(Updated 07/22/2008).
Injury Report
No information available at this time (Updated 7/25/08).
Fantasy Analysis
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. He started the season well with four homers in April, but has been slumping ever since. Towles is not a recommended Fantasy option at this time and should be dropped in most Fantasy formats.
