The Chicago White Sox are set to bring up catching prospect Edgar Quero from Triple-A Charlotte for his major league debut on Thursday against the Athletics. Quero, a 22-year-old switch-hitter from Cienfuegos, Cuba, has posted a .333 batting average with one home run and four RBIs in 15 games with Charlotte this season. He was acquired from the Angels in a trade in July 2023 that involved pitchers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez heading to Los Angeles. The move was confirmed by White Sox manager Will Venable after the team's 3-1 loss to the Athletics, with the corresponding roster move yet to be announced.
The call-up of Quero comes as the White Sox seek to bolster their lineup following a challenging start to the season, where they currently hold a 4-13 record. With Quero's promising performance in the minor leagues, the team hopes his debut will provide a spark to their rebuilding efforts. Fans and analysts will be watching eagerly to see how Quero adapts to the major league level and contributes to the White Sox's future success.
