Quero went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Rockies.
The rookie catcher took advantage of a trip to Coors Field to launch his first career MLB homer, and it was a big one -- Quero broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth inning when he hooked an Antonio Senzatela curveball over the right-field wall. While his power hasn't shown up consistently yet, Quero is slashing a respectable .273/.347/.331 through his first 193 plate appearances for the White Sox with seven doubles and 19 RBI.

White Sox's Edgar Quero: Breaks slump
Rotowire
Quero went 3-for-3 with a walk and an RBI on Wednesday against the Dodgers.
Quero's playing time has started to slip, as he's gone from playing every other day to once every three days since late June. That coincides with a slump at the plate, as he entered Wednesday's game having gone just 1-for-18 across his last seven games. He managed to turn in a productive performance Wednesday, with his RBI coming on a single in the third inning.

White Sox's Edgar Quero: Splitting catcher reps with Lee
Rotowire
Quero is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Tigers.
Quero has been alternating starts at catcher with Korey Lee since the latter returned from the injured list last week, although Quero received an additional start at designated hitter during that stretch. Still, the rookie catcher looks as though he may play a bit less with Lee around than he did when Matt Thaiss was still with the White Sox. Quero is slashing only .188/.263/.232 over his last 21 games and is still looking for his first major-league home run.

White Sox's Edgar Quero: Up to cleanup spot versus righty
Rotowire

White Sox's Edgar Quero: Success in small sample
Rotowire
Quero went 2-for-4 with a double Saturday against the Red Sox.
Quero has appeared in all three games since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, two of which were starts. He already has a pair of doubles with three total hits across nine at-bats while striking out only once. Early returns have been positive, and the White Sox have little reason not to give him as much playing time as he can handle with only Matt Thaiss competing for reps behind the plate.

White Sox's Edgar Quero: Promoted, batting seventh in debut
Rotowire
The White Sox selected Quero's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.
Quero earned the promotion after slashing .333/.444/.412 with one home run over his first 63 plate appearances at Charlotte this season. The 22-year-old will presumably take over as Chicago's primary backstop and could be worthy of a pickup in fantasy leagues that start two catchers. Quero will start behind the dish and bat seventh Thursday against the Athletics in his major-league debut.

White Sox's Edgar Quero: Bound for big leagues
Rotowire
The White Sox plan to promote Quero from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
One of the top prospects in the White Sox's farm system, Quero has slashed .333/.444/.412 with one home run, four RBI and nine runs scored across 63 plate appearances in Triple-A this season. The 22-year-old backstop will now get his first taste of the big leagues with Chicago, where he could get the chance to play on a near-everyday basis between catcher and designated hitter.

White Sox's Edgar Quero: Not seeing any action this spring
Rotowire
Quero has yet to make a start for the White Sox this spring.
Quero came into camp seemingly with a shot to emerge with a spot on the Opening Day roster, but his lack of usage suggests that's not going to happen. The 21-year-old has appeared in eight Cactus League games off the bench this spring, going 4-for-14 with a 2:1 K:BB. Quero appears likely to open the season alongside fellow catching prospect Kyle Teel at Triple-A Charlotte, where the duo would split playing time.

White Sox's Edgar Quero: Sent to ChiSox
Rotowire
The White Sox acquired Quero along with left-hander Ky Bush from the Angels on Wednesday in exchange for right-handers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
After putting up a .970 OPS in Single-A in 2022, Quero was pushed to Double-A to begin 2023 and is slashing .245/.385/.332 with 35 RBI across 317 plate appearances. The 20-year-old backstop will likely remain in Double-A as he transitions to his new organization, though he remains on his way to contribute in the majors within a few years.
