White Sox Promote Edgar Quero for MLB Debut

The Chicago White Sox have promoted top catching prospect Edgar Quero from Triple-A Charlotte, with manager Will Venable confirming Quero will start behind the plate in his major league debut against the Athletics. Quero, 22, has excelled in Triple-A this season, batting .333/.444/.412 with one home run and four RBIs in 15 games, earning a top-100 prospect ranking. Acquired from the Angels in the July 2023 trade for Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez, Quero is expected to become the White Sox's primary catcher. His call-up follows a 3-1 loss to the Athletics, which dropped the White Sox to a 4-13 record and marked their 11th defeat in 13 games. The team hopes Quero's arrival will revitalize their struggling offense, which has frequently faltered with runners in scoring position. Both Venable and analysts express optimism that Quero can provide much-needed energy and production.
