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.
Still dealing with injury
Quinones is not an option for Saturday's season opener against Chicago due to a lower body injury, according to the MLS injury report.
ANALYSIS
Quinones won't be in the mix for Saturday's season opener against Chicago as the forward continues to work his way back from a lower-body injury. He'll look to turn the corner in the coming weeks, but his absence doesn't drastically alter the starting XI given he was sidelined for nearly the entire 2025 MLS campaign. When he is cleared to return, expect the coaching staff to ramp him up gradually rather than throw him straight back into heavy minutes.
