Called up to Milwaukee The Brewers recalled Quero from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Impact Considered to be the best catcher prospect in the Brewers' farm system, Quero will join the big-league roster for the first time in his career. The 23-year-old battled hamstring and shoulder issues last season but still slashed .255/.336/.412 with 44 RBI and 32 runs scored across 250 plate appearances at Nashville. He's mostly known for being a great defender behind the plate but doesn't currently have a clear path to playing time with William Contreras and Gary Sanchez both on the active roster.

Sent to minor-league camp The Brewers optioned Quero to minor-league camp Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Quero went 2-for-16 at the dish this spring for the Brewers. With William Contreras and Gary Sanchez slated to handle the top two catching spots with the big club, Quero was always destined to begin the year back at Triple-A Nashville. The defensively-gifted Quero could get an opportunity with the big club is Contreras is injured.

Scorching at Triple-A Quero went 15-for-38 (.395) with three home runs, five doubles, 15 RBI and a 5:8 BB:K over his last 11 games with Triple-A Nashville.

Impact Quero -- who underwent right shoulder surgery in April of 2024 -- had not done much hitting before landing on the injured list in late July with a left shoulder injury, but he has been a man on a mission since being activated earlier this month. Quero is one of Milwaukee's top prospects at the catcher position and will turn 23 years old in October, and with him seemingly back at full strength, he figures to have a strong case to be the backup backstop for the Brewers in 2026.

AUGUST 13, 2025 • MLB.COM

Activated off minor-league IL Quero (shoulder) was activated off the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Quero is not even two weeks into a projected 3-to-4 week absence with a mild left shoulder sprain, so he appears to have recovered much faster than anticipated. The 22-year-old has slashed .259/.333/.362 with two home runs in 30 games with Nashville.

AUGUST 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out 3-to-4 weeks in minors Quero is going to be placed on Triple-A Nashville's injured list and miss 3-to-4 weeks due to a mild left shoulder sprain, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Quero was pulled from Wednesday's Triple-A contest after four innings after he appeared to hurt his shoulder while trying to tag out a baserunner earlier in the game. The young backstop missed most of the 2024 campaign due to a torn labrum in his right shoulder, but this appears to be a milder injury to the other shoulder and shouldn't keep him out for the remainder of the campaign. Quero could be back in action in late August if he hits his expected return timeframe.

JULY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with arm injury Quero was removed Wednesday from Triple-A Nashville's 14-13 win over Charlotte after four innings due to an apparent left arm injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact The catching prospect appeared to suffer the injury to his non-throwing arm while attempting to tag out a baserunner earlier in the contest. The Brewers haven't provided an update on Quero's injury, but more information on his status could be available when he gets examined Thursday. After missing nearly all of the 2024 season while recovering from surgery to address a torn labrum in his right shoulder, Quero has slashed .259/.333/.362 with two home runs and two stolen bases over 129 plate appearances with Nashville in 2025.

JULY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back from hamstring injury Quero (hamstring) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact The 22-year-old opened the campaign on the injured list due to a hamstring injury but his ready to make his 2025 Triple-A debut after an 11-game rehab assignment in the lower minors. Quero, who is one of Milwaukee's top prospects, spent last season at the Double-A level and had a .262/.340/.443 slash line with 16 homers and five steals in 90 games.

JUNE 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes season debut Quero (hamstring), per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, "played his first minor-league game of the season Monday ... for Milwaukee's Arizona Complex League club."

Impact A hamstring injury delayed Quero's start to the season, but he has recovered and returned to action. The 22-year-old missed nearly all of last season with a shoulder injury, but he remains both one of Milwaukee's top prospects and one of the better catching prospects league-wide.

MAY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Delayed by hamstring injury Quero suffered a hamstring injury late in spring training and should be assigned to Triple-A Nashville in late-April, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

Impact He is also still building back up from last year's right shoulder surgery, as he was starting spring games at designated hitter. It may take Quero some time to knock the rust off at the dish, but his defense behind the plate is already big-league ready. The 22-year-old backstop slashed .262/.339/.440 with 16 home runs, five steals and a 17.8 percent strikeout rate in 90 games at Double-A in 2023 and only played one game last year at Triple-A.

APRIL 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Playing in minor-league game Quero (shoulder) will start at designated hitter and bat second in a minor-league game with Double-A Biloxi on Monday.

Impact After he underwent right shoulder surgery last April that limited him to just one game in 2024, Quero was eased into spring training. Quero didn't make any Cactus League appearances before the Brewers optioned him to Triple-A Nashville on March 10, but his ability to serve as a DH on Monday suggests that he'll be ready to go for the start of the minor-league season. It's unclear if Quero will be limited to DH-only duties initially, or if he'll be ready to make starts behind the plate.

Cut from big-league camp The Brewers optioned Quero (shoulder) to Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Manager Pat Murphy said before the start of camp that he expected Quero to play in Cactus League games this spring, but he did not see any action before getting cut. Quero missed virtually all of the 2024 season following surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder and will head to Triple-A Nashville to start the 2025 season, once he's deemed ready for games.

Impact Quero had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder last April but estimated Wednesday that he's at "75 to 80 percent" physically. The catching prospect was limited to just one game with Triple-A Nashville before getting injured and is headed back to Nashville to begin the 2025 campaign.

Suffers apparent shoulder injury Quero was removed from Triple-A Nashville's game Friday with an apparent shoulder injury, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

Impact The 21-year-old suffered the injury when he was picked off first base and subsequently exited the contest. The specifics of the injury unclear, but it's a discouraging development for Quero in the first game of the season.

Lands on injured list Quero was placed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Biloxi on Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's not believed to be a serious injury, but the 20-year-old will still be held out for at least the next week. Quero is one of Milwaukee's top prospects and has a .262/.340/.443 slash line with 16 homers in 90 games for Biloxi this season.
