22-Year-Old
Houston Dynamo

OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 7/19/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Quinones missed the entire 2024 season through a knee injury he suffered playing with the Colombian U23 team. It's tough missing an entire year due to injury, especially early in a career, but he's still just 22 years old with everything ahead of him. The striker netted four goals in 33 appearances during the 2023 season, a number he'll aim to surpass in 2025. The hope is that he'll ramp up fitness in the preseason and be ready from the go, but as with any layoff, growing pains are expected until 100 percent.

Timeline still unknown
Quinones (knee) has been "In and out of training, in live exercises, maybe in a couple of weeks, a month he'll be seeing game time" said head coach Ben Olson per Dynamo Fan TV.
ANALYSIS
Quinones has yet to be giving a clear timeline of return as his has been inconsistent in his rehab process from a knee injury. He isn't expected to be an option anytime soon after already missing the first three months of the season.
