The Milwaukee Brewers are calling up top catching prospect Jeferson Quero, who would be making his Major League debut. Quero, the Brewers' No. 8 prospect, missed significant time in 2024 and 2025 due to a major shoulder injury and a hamstring injury. The Brewers have not confirmed the callup, but it is expected they will make a roster move ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

Why it matters

The Brewers' catching depth has been tested early in the season, with William Contreras starting on Opening Day and veteran Gary Sánchez as the backup. Quero's callup could provide a boost to the Brewers' catching corps if Contreras or Sánchez were to get injured.

The details

Quero, 23, was the Opening Day catcher for the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate, the Nashville Sounds, on Friday night. He went 0-for-2 with a walk in a rain-shortened, 6-4 loss. Quero was the battery mate for Sounds starter Robert Gasser, who struck out 11 in 5 2/3 innings.

  • The Brewers are expected to make a roster move ahead of Saturday's 6:10 p.m. CT first pitch against the White Sox.
  • Quero missed all of 2024 with a major shoulder injury that required surgery, and then missed more time in 2025 with a hamstring injury.
