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.

February 12, 2025
Manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that he expects Quero (shoulder) to be playing in Cactus League games at some point this spring, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Quero had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder last April but estimated Wednesday that he's at "75 to 80 percent" physically. The catching prospect was limited to just one game with Triple-A Nashville before getting injured and is likely headed back to Nashville to begin the 2025 campaign.

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.
