Now it appears we’ll have another surprise move just ahead of the second game of the year.
According to Daniel Alvarez of El Extra Base , the Milwaukee Brewers are promoting catching prospect Jeferson Quero. There was no immediate word on who’s roster spot Quero would be taking, but given the position, it’s likely that either William Contreras or Gary Sanchez are dealing with an injury and will be placed on the IL. The Brewers have not yet confirmed the transaction.
The 23 year old Quero will be making his MLB debut. Quero has been beset by injuries the last few years. He injured his throwing shoulder on Opening Day in 2024 and that required season-ending surgery.
His return in 2025 from that shoulder surgery was delayed by a hamstring issue. Quero’s elite throwing arm was weakened by the shoulder surgery but appeared to be back on track to be a big league-caliber arm this spring. Pat Murphy confirmed pop times in the 1.
