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.

Set for shoulder surgery
Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said Wednesday that Quero will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Quero suffered the injury in Triple-A Nashville's first game of the season while diving back into first base on a pickoff attempt. His rehab from surgery is expected to take around nine months, so Quero should be ready for the start of spring training. The 21-year-old was added to the Brewers' 40-man roster last offseason after posting a .779 OPS with 16 home runs at Double-A Biloxi in 2023.

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.
