Jeferson Quero: Everything you need to know

The Brewers optioned Quero to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. He's being sent out to make room on the active roster for Luis Matos, who was acquired via trade. Quero received two plate appearances during his brief first stint in the majors, drawing a walk and grounding out.

The Brewers recalled Quero from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports. Considered to be the best catcher prospect in the Brewers' farm system, Quero will join the big-league roster for the first time in his career. The 23-year-old battled hamstring and shoulder issues last season but still slashed .255/.336/.412 with 44 RBI and 32 runs scored across 250 plate appearances at Nashville. He'll act in a reserve role behind William Contreras and Gary Sanchez at catcher and replace Andrew Vaughn (hand) on the active roster.

The Brewers optioned Quero to minor-league camp Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Quero went 2-for-16 at the dish this spring for the Brewers. With William Contreras and Gary Sanchez slated to handle the top two catching spots with the big club, Quero was always destined to begin the year back at Triple-A Nashville. The defensively-gifted Quero could get an opportunity with the big club is Contreras is injured.
