White Sox's Edgar Quero: Added to taxi squad
The White Sox added Quero to their taxi squad Sunday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
The 21-year-old catcher could make his major-league debut with the White Sox during the last week of the regular season. Quero has been with the organization since July of 2023, when he was traded by the Angels along with left-hander Ky Bush in exchange for Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez. Quero began 2024 with Double-A Birmingham, but he was promoted to Triple-A Charlotte in July. He missed some time due to a back injury, but across his 25 outings with Charlotte, he slashed .300/.390/.478 with four home runs and 17 RBI across 105 plate appearances.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Lifts 31st homer
Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers.
Raleigh went deep off Andrew Heaney in the third inning. Over 19 games in September, Raleigh has gone 19-for-71 (.268) with four homers, 15 RBI and 10 runs scored. The catcher is up to 31 homers, 95 RBI, 67 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .214/.311/.424 slash line over 147 contests this season, giving him an outside chance at a 100-RBI campaign if he gets hot over the final week.

Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Rests for second game of twin bill
Jeffers is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Red Sox.
Jeffers will rest for the second game of the day after he played all eight innings behind the plate in the Twins' 8-1 loss earlier Sunday while going hitless in four at-bats. Christian Vazquez will draw the start at catcher in the nightcap.

Guardians' Bo Naylor: Takes seat Sunday

Dillon Dingler C | DET
Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Triples, drives in two Saturday
Dingler went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple and two RBI in Saturday's 6-4, 10-inning win over the Orioles.
Dingler snapped an 0-for-9 slump that spanned his last three appearances and recorded the second triple of his rookie season. The 25-year-old catcher has mostly struggled in his debut campaign, slashing .143/.175/.286 across 24 games, but he still should figure into Detroit's future plans behind the plate.

Cal Raleigh C | SEA
Mariners' Cal Raleigh: On base three times Saturday
Raleigh went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.
Raleigh authored one of five multi-hit efforts on the night for the Mariners while achieving the feat for the sixth time in September. The 27-year-old backstop has already reached the 30-home-run threshold for the second straight season despite currently being mired in a nine-game power drought, and he's carrying a .265 average and .829 OPS across 18 games thus far in September as the Mariners continue pushing for a wild-card spot.

Logan O'Hoppe C | LAA
Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Swats 20th long ball
O'Hoppe went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles and two total runs in Saturday's loss to the Astros.
Though the Angels were blown out, O'Hoppe had an impressive effort at the plate, recording his third game of at least four hits this season. This was the first time he's posted three extra-base knocks in a contest, and among his hits was a solo shot in the fourth inning that marked his 20th homer of the campaign. Among catchers, only Cal Raleigh, Shea Langeliers, Salvador Perez and William Contreras have hit more home runs than O'Hoppe this season.
