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.
