Humberto Quintero (hip) will catch a bullpen Saturday and work on blocking balls in the dirt Sunday. Quintero was given an anti-inflammatory injection Wednesday to combat soreness in his hip and lower back. The veteran receiver should be OK. Assuming Jason Castro (knee) is ready to start the season, which looks likely, Quintero will probably begin the year at Triple-A.
