CHICAGO — The White Sox plan to call up catching prospect Edgar Quero from Triple-A Charlotte and start him behind the plate Thursday against the Athletics for his major league debut.
Chicago manager Will Venable confirmed the move following Wednesday night’s 3-1 loss to the Athletics that dropped his rebuilding team to 4-13. The White Sox had not yet announced a corresponding roster move.
Quero, 22, was the No. 54-ranked prospect on ESPN insider Kiley McDaniel’s top 100 prospects list. He is batting .333 (17-for-51) with one homer and four RBIs in 15 games with Charlotte this season. The switch-hitter was acquired from the Angels in a July 2023 trade that sent pitchers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez to Los Angeles.
The 5-foot-10, 205-pound Quero is from Cienfuegos, Cuba.
