Injury Arm
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Quero suffered a torn labrum in Triple-A Nashville's season opener and missed the rest of 2024, but he's still just 22 years old and is one of Milwaukee's top prospects. The organization isn't in need of catching help with William Contreras establishing himself as arguably the best catcher in baseball, so a regular role likely isn't on the immediate horizon. Quero appeared in 90 games for Double-A Biloxi in 2023 and clubbed 16 homers with a .783 OPS, as his bat has caught up with his excellent defense as he's matured. He could make his MLB debut in 2025 if Contreras or backup Eric Haase deal with any significant injuries, and Quero's ability behind the plate could help him stick in the majors even if he struggles early versus big-league pitching.

July 24, 2025
Quero was removed Wednesday from Triple-A Nashville's 14-13 win over Charlotte after four innings due to an apparent left arm injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
The catching prospect appeared to suffer the injury to his non-throwing arm while attempting to tag out a baserunner earlier in the contest. The Brewers haven't provided an update on Quero's injury, but more information on his status could be available when he gets examined Thursday. After missing nearly all of the 2024 season while recovering from surgery to address a torn labrum in his right shoulder, Quero has slashed .259/.333/.362 with two home runs and two stolen bases over 129 plate appearances with Nashville in 2025.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
One of the best defensive catching prospects in the minors, Quero showed in his age-20 season that he might have a promising offensive future as well. He slashed .262/.339/.440 with 16 home runs, five steals and a 17.8 percent strikeout rate as the third-youngest qualified hitter in the Southern League, which is an even more impressive feat when considering the position he plays. The Brewers already have an excellent catcher in William Contreras, so Quero's playing time could be capped a bit in 2025 and 2026, but his defense will be too good for him to be stuck as a No. 2 option for more than a year or two. Given how cheap the Brewers are, they could trade Contreras in the middle of his prime and hand the keys to Quero.
