Edgar Quero Showing Power At Double-A
Edgar Quero has been off to a great start at Double-A this season, posting a .286/.373/.589 line with five long balls and 21 RBI across 17 games. Quero, the ninth overall catching prospect and fifth overall prospect in the White Sox system on MLB Pipeline is showing some untapped power potential that he has yet to show in the minor leagues. Last season in Double-A, he only hit six home runs with a .351 SLG. If Quero continues this trajectory, he could be promoted to Triple-A reasonably quickly and push for a promotion later in the summer. For now, Quero remains a target in dynasty leagues as he is viewed as the backstop of the future on the Southside.

Edgar Quero Hitless In MLB Debut
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.

Edgar Quero Set To Make MLB Debut
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
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.

Edgar Quero Added To Taxi Squad
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.
