Catcher Humberto Quintero’s contract was purchased Monday by the Houston Astros after regular starter J.R. Towles was hit in the left hand by a pitch. In a corresponding roster move, infielder David Newhan was designated for assignment. Towles was struck by Kevin Gregg’s pitch in the eighth inning of Houston’s 5-1 victory on Sunday.
