Humberto Quintero (ankle) hopes to rejoin the Astros for the first game after the All-Star break. Quintero will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City Friday, but evidently the Astros want to give him more than a week's worth of games before activating him. He's been out since late May with a high ankle sprain.
