Brewers general manager Matt Arnold informed reporters, including , that catching prospect will undergo surgery for a torn labrum. The recovery time is expected to be nine months, which obviously ends the season for the young backstop. It was last week that Quero, 21, had been diagnosed with a subluxation in his right shoulder. The club didnt make the next steps known at Gary Sanchez Jersey that time as they were planning to get a second opinion, but it now seems that a determination has been made with surgery required for Quero. Its an unfortunate development for the Brewers, both in the short term and in the long term. In the short term, it will put a notable dent in the clubs catching depth. Quero was added to the clubs 40-man roster in November to keep him out of the Rule 5 draft and he was sent to Triple-A to start this year. The Brewers have and handling the catching duties at the big league level but Quero could have been in line for his big league debut this year if an injury arose to either of those two. Instead, Quero is the one who is injured, subtracting that option from the club this year. and are in Triple-A as non-roster depth options and one of those two will likely be the first up if another catcher is needed at the big league level. In the long term, its an unfortunate lo s of a development year for a notable young player in the system. Quero was a consensus top 50 prospect in the league coming into the year and is currently listed #35 in the league by , #41 at , #33 at , #32 at and was all the way up at #12 on the list of . Long considered a strong defensive catcher, Quero hit well in the lower levels of the minors but without much power. Over 2021 and 2022, he hit .290/.357/.448 but with just 12 home runs in 488 plate appearances as he climbed to High-A. Last year, he was sent to Double-A and hit 16 homers in just 381 plate appearances while walking in 10% of his plate appearances and striking out just 17.8% of the time. He slashed .262/.339/.440 for a wRC+ of 107 despite being just 20 years old. That strong showing vaulted him up prospect lists and seemed to have him in place to be pushing for a major league debut, perhaps as soon as this year. But after just one plate appearance at the Triple-A level this year, he suffered this injury and will have to sit out the remainder of the campaign. Quero is still young and will have plenty of time to get back on track but its obviously le s than ideal for a young player to mi s an entire year of reps as he is trying to grow as a player. Since Quero was in the minor leagues when he suffered his injury, hell be placed on the minor league injured list. The Brewers could recall him and place him on the major league injured list if they want to open a 40-man roster spot, but doing so would start Queros service time clock. Paul Molitor Jersey
