A corresponding move has not been announced yet by the team, but catcher William Contreras is not injured, sources also said.
Adam McCalvy of MLB.com later reported that first baseman Andrew Vaughn suffered a hand injury on opening day and will go to the injured list.
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jeferson Quero takes batting practice during spring training on February 17, 2025, at American Family Fields of Phoenix in Phoenix, Arizona.
Quero is the Brewers’ top catching prospect and ranked as the organization’s No. 4 overall prospect by the Journal Sentinel entering the season.
The 23-year-old has been on the precipice of the big leagues for a couple of seasons now, but injuries have kept him from making his debut.
He suffered a torn labrum that required season-ending surgery on the first day of the 2024 season at Class AAA and only appeared in 69 games a year ago in the minors, batting .271 with a .839 on-base plus slugging percentage.
