Jeferson Quero - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

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.

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.

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.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes return to Double-A squad Double-A Biloxi reinstated Quero (hand) from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Quero is expected to step back in as Biloxi's No. 1 backstop after he hadn't played for the club since July 21 due to a left hand injury. The 20-year-old slugged 13 home runs and hit .289 in 268 plate appearances with Biloxi prior to landing on the shelf.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hits 7-day IL Quero has been placed on the 7-day injured list retroactive to July 23 due to left hand soreness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Quero's injury comes at an unfortunate time, as the backstop had been raking to the tune of a .364/.500/.500 line in 12 games this month. On the plus side, the issue doesn't appear to be severe on the surface, so he could be back in action within the next week.

JULY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On fire at Double-A Quero is hitting .432 with three home runs, seven walks and five strikeouts over his last 10 games with Double-A Biloxi.

Impact The 20-year-old catcher is hitting .289/.367/.498 with a 10.8 percent walk rate and a 17.9 percent strikeout in 57 games as the fifth-youngest qualified hitter at Double-A. Quero is known for his excellent defense behind the plate, and this strong offensive showing could lead to him ranking as a top-20 real-life prospect by season's end.

JULY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cruising at Double-A Quero went 3-for-5 with three home runs and five RBI in a game with Double-A Biloxi on Tuesday.

Impact The 20-year-old reached the Double-A level for the first time this season, and after getting off to a slow start he has found his groove, posting a 1.164 OPS while tallying six long balls and 14 RBI over his last 13 games. Opinions on his future outlook vary to some degree, but he is one of the better catching prospects around the league and the top backstop prospect in Milwaukee's system.
