Quero went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Thursday's 11-8 win over the Twins. Quero batted leadoff for the first time in his career -- over 93 games this season, he's batted out of every spot in the order. He's most frequently featured third, fourth or sixth in the lineup, but he's been hitting well lately, going 23-for-65 (.354) over his last 20 games. The switch hitter is up to a .289/.351/.395 slash line with five home runs, 36 RBI, 28 runs scored, 17 doubles and no stolen bases across 333 plate appearances. Quero hasn't provided much power and has lackluster speed -- ranking in the fifth percentile -- so he doesn't seem like a logical fit for the leadoff spot in the long run despite a promising showing at getting on base.

Quero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-3 win over the Twins on Wednesday. Quero left the yard for the fifth time this season, and it was his first homer since Aug. 12 versus Detroit. The switch-hitting backstop has a decent .737 OPS during his rookie year, and he's fared even better over his last 18 games. During that span, Quero is batting a torrid .351 with two big flies, two doubles, 10 RBI and eight runs scored across his last 57 at-bats.

Quero went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Tigers. The rookie launched a solo shot off Codi Heuer in the seventh inning, his fourth of the year, and then added a two-run single an inning later to push Chicago's lead to six. It was his third multi-hit effort in his last eight games and his second game this season with at least three RBI. The 22-year-old is now slashing .275/.342/.381 with 29 RBI and 20 runs scored through 75 contests.
