Chicago White Sox catching prospect Edgar Quero is not in Sunday's lineup when they conclude a series against the Miami Marlins. Quero was in the starting nine on Saturday afternoon and went 0-for-4 at the plate. Fantasy managers should expect the young backstop to return to the starting nine on Tuesday when they begin a series against the Reds. The 22-year-old made his MLB debut earlier this summer and has held his own through his first taste. Across 20 games, the 22-year-old has posted a strong .274/.375/.323 slash line with three doubles and an 11:8 K:BB. Matt Thaiss will be behind the dish and bat this afternoon in the cleanup spot. He is worth a look in DFS facing Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara, who enters this game with a high 8.42 ERA.
Chicago White Sox catching prospect Edgar Quero is not in the team's starting lineup on Saturday against the visiting Houston Astros. Matt Thaiss will do the catching for right-hander Davis Martin and will bat seventh against Astros right-hander Hunter Brown. Since being recalled from the minors early this season, Quero has held his own at the plate, going 12-for-40 (.300) with two doubles, five RBI, four runs scored, six walks and five strikeouts in his first 14 MLB games. The team's No. 6 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, will continue to see most of the starts behind the dish for the Pale Hose moving forward. The 22-year-old is coming off a 2-for-3 performance on Friday night with two RBI against the Astros. Thaiss will be a low-upside DFS play at catcher on Saturday. He's hitting .208 (10-for-48) with a homer and seven RBI and is also batting .200 in five career at-bats against Brown.
Chicago White Sox catcher Edgar Quero made his MLB debut against the Athletics on Thursday. The 22-year-old earned himself a promotion after going 17-for-51 across 15 games in Triple-A this season. He had an underwhelming debut as he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in the loss to the A's. It was a tough day for the White Sox as a whole considering they only got four hits and were shutout on Thursday. The assumption is that Quero is going to be the everyday catcher now that he got called up. Right now, Quero is probably only worth a look in deep leagues or AL-only formats.
Chicago White Sox catching prospect Edgar Quero is set to join the MLB roster prior to Thursday's contest against the Athletics and make his MLB debut. Quero is considered the No. 63 prospect in the sport and the No. 6 prospect in the system on MLB.com. The 22-year-old is also viewed as one of the top catching prospects in the sport. Earlier this season, Quero posted a strong .333/.44/.412 slash line with one double and one round-tripper across 15 games with Triple-A Charlotte. Last summer, Quero spent time with Double-A and Triple-A and held a cumulative .280/.366/.463 slash line with 16 doubles and 16 long balls across 98 games. Fantasy managers should expect the young backstop to likely operate as the top catcher on the Southside. He should be added in all two-catcher formats and is worth targeting in deeper one-catcher leagues.
Kyle Teel, Edgar Quero Reassigned To Minor-League Camp
Chicago White Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel has been reassigned to minor-league camp, along with a host of other players, including fellow catching prospect Edgar Quero. Teel is ranked as the team's No. 2 prospect (MLB No. 32), while Quero comes in at No. 6 (MLB No. 65). That will leave Korey Lee and Matt Thaiss to handle duties for the big-league club, neither of which has had a wRC+ better than 86 to this point in their major-league careers. Teel was a 2023 first-round draft pick, formerly of the Red Sox organization, who hit well until his short stint at Triple-A in 2024 (.255). But he was still able to log a .374 on-base percentage due to his strong 16.3 percent walk rate and showed well this spring, going 5-for-20 with a pair of home runs and a 4:4 BB:K. Quero fared a bit better in '24, slashing .295/.382/.463 during his time at Triple-A, but didn't do much with the bat this spring. Both have an ETA of 2025, according to MLB.com's top-100 prospect list, so we'll see who gets the call first. Whoever it is could make for an intriguing waiver-wire pickup if they earn immediate playing time, especially in deeper leagues.
Chicago White Sox Cuban catching prospect Edgar Quero was added to the taxi squad for the last week of the regular season, according to sources. Quero could be activated to the active roster this Tuesday to make his major-league debut at home against the Los Angeles Angels. He is baseball's 59th-ranked prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and is the team's No. 4 prospect. The 21-year-old could debut against his former team after the Angels traded him to Chicago last summer. In 98 games this year with Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte, Quero has hit .280/.366/.463 with an .829 OPS, 16 home runs, 70 RBI and 41 runs scored. He missed some time with a back injury but has been good since his return and seemed to handle Triple-A pitching just fine. Quero is the future at the position in Chicago and should be stashed in dynasty/keeper leagues.
Edgar Quero Getting Healthy, In Consideration For Call-Up
Chicago White Sox catching prospect Edgar Quero (back) should be activated from the minor-league injured list at Triple-A Charlotte soon after dealing with back tightness. General manager Chris Getz said that Quero is "under consideration" for a major-league call-up, but the team also won't rush him. The White Sox have nothing left to play for but pride and to get some eyes on some of their top prospects like Quero. The 21-year-old Quero, who is considered by MLB Pipeline to be Chicago's No. 4 prospect, started the year at Double-A Birmingham but was promoted to Charlotte in early July. The Cuban switch-hitting backstop has hit .313/.408/.506 with a .914 OPS, four homers and 17 RBI for the Knights in 23 games. The 5-foot-11, 210-pounder is just a dynasty stash for now, but Quero possesses 20-homer power and could be with the big-league club early in 2025 if we don't see him when rosters expand this September.
Chicago White Sox catching prospect Edgar Quero has been one of the best hitters in the minor league since the start of August. Through eight games, the backstop has carried a .419/.472/.677 line with two home runs, seven RBI, and a 4:5 BB:K ratio. He has only gone hitless once and has tallied at least three hits in three games. Overall, the 21-year-old has looked quite comfortable since moving up to Triple-A Charlotte with a strong .329/.426/.532 line through 22 games. Quero is ranked as the third-best White Sox prospect and the 70th-best in the sport on MLB.com. Quero could become an intriguing stash candidate in deeper redraft leagues as he could get a late-season taste of the big leagues, given his current pace at Triple-A.
Chicago White Sox catcher prospect Edgar Quero continued his strong showing since his promotion to Triple-A with a home run on Sunday for Charlotte. The White Sox' No. 3 prospect has had a breakout season and has shown no signs of slowing down since jumping a level to Triple-A. He has three homers and 14 RBI with a .305 batting average and .948 OPS in 17 games for Charlotte. Overall, the talented backstop is hitting .280 with 15 homers and 67 RBI across two levels this season. The 21-year-old looks to be the catcher of the future for the White Sox and his future in Chicago may not be far off. Quero is one of the best catcher prospects out there.
Chicago White Sox catcher prospect Edgar Quero hit his first Triple-A home run in his first game with the Charlotte Knights on Thursday. The 21-year-old has 13 homers on the year with 55 RBI. The right-handed swinging backstop has been locked in all season long and looks like he might not be far off a big-league debut. The White Sox' No. 4 overall prospect is one of the top catchers in the minor leagues and should be able to make waves in fantasy at a thin position upon his call-up to Chicago. This is a potential second-half gem in redraft leagues as the rebuilding White Sox could look to their catcher of the future soon.
