Jeferson Quero C | MIL
Brewers' Jeferson Quero: Dealing with arm injury
Quero was removed Wednesday from Triple-A Nashville's 14-13 win over Charlotte after four innings due to an apparent left arm injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The catching prospect appeared to suffer the injury to his non-throwing arm while attempting to tag out a baserunner earlier in the contest. The Brewers haven't provided an update on Quero's injury, but more information on his status could be available when he gets examined Thursday. After missing nearly all of the 2024 season while recovering from surgery to address a torn labrum in his right shoulder, Quero has slashed .259/.333/.362 with two home runs and two stolen bases over 129 plate appearances with Nashville in 2025.

Herrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Getting afternoon off
Alvarez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
After getting called up from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Alvarez started behind the plate in the first two contests of the series and went 2-for-6 with a home run, a double, two walks, two RBI and two additional runs. Luis Torrens will get the nod behind the plate for Wednesday's day game, but so long as he's swinging a hot bat, Alvarez could be in store for the bulk of the starts at catcher.

Tyler Stephenson C | CIN
Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Sitting out Wednesday
Stephenson is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals.
Stephenson was the Reds' catcher for Tuesday night's 6-1 loss, so it's not a surprise he's getting a breather in Wednesday's matinee. Jose Trevino will be behind the dish and bat seventh as Cincinnati tries to avoid the sweep.
