Humberto Quintero launched a solo home run Sunday in the Phillies' loss to the Brewers.

Quintero's eighth-inning shot spoiled what might have been a shutout attempt for Brewers starter Kyle Lohse. Quintero is expected to start behind the plate for the Phillies over the next few weeks while Carlos Ruiz (hamstring) and Erik Kratz (knee) recover from their respective injuries. Steven Lerud is the backup. Jun 9 - 4:40 PM

The 33-year-old backstop hit .232/.257/.341 with one homer and 19 RBI in 43 games with the Royals before being dealt to the Brewers this past season. He'll attempt to latch on elsewhere, presumably in a third catcher's role.

Humberto Quintero - C - Phillies

Humberto Quintero - C - Phillies

Quintero was designated for assignment last week after batting just .232/.257/.341 with one homer for the Royals. He'll catch on somewhere, but it will probably be on a minor league deal.

Thu, Jul 5, 2012 02:24:00 PM

Humberto Quintero - C - Phillies

Royals designated C Humberto Quintero for assignment.

Quintero became expendable after Salvador Perez returned from knee surgery. The 32-year-old backstop is hitting just .232/.257/.341 with one homer and a .598 OPS in 144 plate appearances this year. Brayan Pena will now serve as the primary backup.

Humberto Quintero - C - Phillies

Humberto Quintero was ejected from Saturday's game against the Athletics in the top of the seventh inning for arguing with home plate umpire Paul Schriber.

It's unknown whether he was arguing balls and strikes, or was angry about a play at the plate that ended the previous inning. Brayan Pena replaced Quintero in the Royals lineup.

Sat, Jun 2, 2012 04:22:00 PM

Humberto Quintero - C - Phillies

Royals manager Ned Yost currently has Humberto Quintero lined up to catch three of every five games, with Brayan Pena catching the other two.

Quintero will be behind the plate when Luke Hochevar, Jonathan Sanchez and Danny Duffy pitch, while Pena will be back there when it's Bruce Chen and Luis Mendoza on the mound. "I don’t want anybody catching more than two days in a row," Yost said. "I’m trying to keep a balance. I like Quintero with Hoch, Sánchez and Duffy because he’s more of a veteran presence with those guys. I like Peña with Bruce because (Chen) has a really good idea of what he wants to do, and so does Mendoza." Neither player would be terribly appealing for fantasy purposes even if they were playing every day, so, needless to say, they can be ignored given their part-time roles.

Humberto Quintero - C - Phillies

Humberto Quintero will start in Saturday's game against the Angels.

The Royals went with Brayan Pena in the season opener, but the two figure to split playing time until Salvador Perez (knee) is ready to return. Continue to ignore both players in all formats.

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Carlos Ruiz
	2	Erik Kratz D.L. Erik Kratz underwent surgery on Wednesday morning to repair the medial meniscus tear in his left knee. Kratz is expected to be out for the next 6-8 weeks. Humberto Quintero and Steven Lerud will serve as the Phillies' catchers until Carlos Ruiz (hamstring) is healthy. Jun 12
	3	Humberto Quintero
	4	Steven Lerud
1B	1	Ryan Howard
2B	1	Chase Utley D.L. Chase Utley (oblique) could begin a minor league rehab assignment as early as Tuesday night. Utley took batting practice with his Phillies teammates on Friday and Saturday at Coors Field, reporting no issues with his right oblique. If he indeed starts playing in rehab games Tuesday, he should be back on Philadelphia's active 25-man roster by the end of this week. Jun 17

	2	Roy Halladay D.L. Phillies transferred RHP Roy Halladay from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for Michael Martinez on the 40-man roster. It won't have any impact on Halladay's timeline, as he had shoulder surgery earlier this month and is unlikely to make it back until late August at the earliest. May 24

	4	Jeremy Horst D.L. Phillies placed LHP Jeremy Horst on the 15-day disabled list with a left elbow strain. Horst was excellent for the Phillies in 2012 but has struggled to the tune of a 6.23 ERA here in 2013. He's going to have his elbow checked out by a specialist. Jun 17
