The White Sox recalled Quero from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Quero will form a catching tandem with Drew Romo after Joey Bart sustained a broken bone in his left hand Thursday against the Red Sox. Quero has a .492 OPS across 193 trips to the plate with Chicago this season.

Knizner exercised his opt-out clause with the Red Sox on Friday and is now a free agent, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

The veteran catcher inked a minor-league pact with Boston on June 23 and slashed .317/.426/.494 with two home runs, one stolen base and a 14:13 BB:K across 94 plate appearances with Triple-A Worcester. He'll look to latch on with a team in need of catching help.

Torrens went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Thursday's win over the Guardians.

The veteran catcher took Foster Griffin deep for a two-run shot in the second inning, putting the Mets in the lead for good in an eventual 13-6 victory. Torrens has gone yard in back-to-back starts, racking up five hits with seven RBI in those contests, and on the season he's put together a .234/.300/.359 slash line through 212 plate appearances with four homers, 26 runs and 27 RBI.

Rutschman (wrist) hit in the indoor cage Thursday after throwing on the field, MLB.com reports.

Rutschman continued the rehab he started while with Baltimore before being dealt to Boston at the trade deadline. He's been on the injured list since July 20 and figures to require a rehab assignment before an estimated mid-August return.

Moreno went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.

Moreno continued his RBI binge when he singled home Arizona's lone run in the third inning. He's plated runners in 14 of 18 contests since the All-Star break, compiling 18 RBI during that stretch. Moreno is up to 50 RBI through 87 contests this season, tying the career high he set over 111 games in 2023.

Wong went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a double in Thursday's 12-11 extra-innings win over the White Sox.

Making a third straight start with Adley Rutschman (wrist) not yet available, Wong got the Red Sox on the board in the third inning with a two-run shot off Luis Castillo, his third homer this year. Wong had been slumping at the plate coming into Thursday, going 0-for-16 in his last six contests. Overall, he's slashing .252/.341/.377 through 177 plate appearances this season with 19 RBI, 17 runs scored and three steals.

Sanchez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

After sitting six straight games, Sanchez got the start Thursday while William Contreras received a day of rest. The veteran catcher snapped a 2-2 tie in the fifth inning by taking Braxton Ashcraft deep for a solo home run. Sanchez added a single an inning later for his sixth multi-hit effort of the season. Since the beginning of July, he is batting 7-for-29 (.241) across 11 games. On the year, he owns a .223 batting average with an .818 OPS over 196 plate appearances.

The White Sox are expected to recall Quero from Triple-A Charlotte prior to Friday's game against the Guardians, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

With Joey Bart suffering a broken hand in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox, Quero will rejoin the big-league club to form a catching tandem with Drew Romo at catcher. Neither Quero nor Romo has produced well at the big-league level this season, so the two could be used in a timeshare behind the plate until one separates himself from the other or until Bart or Kyle Teel (ankle) returns from the injured list. Over 193 plate appearances with the White Sox this season, Quero has posted an ugly .492 OPS with two home runs and one stolen base.

Bart suffered a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand after being hit by a pitch Thursday versus the Red Sox.

Bart took a 97.7-mph fastball from Erik Miller off his left hand with two outs in the top of the seventh inning, and he was immediately removed from the game. The catcher will likely undergo additional imaging, and an update on his status will likely come thereafter.

Dingler went 3-for-6 with a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Thursday's 11-0 win over the Mariners.

Dingler continued his impressive power surge as he led Detroit's offensive onslaught Thursday. The slugging backstop has gone deep in three straight games and has four homers across his last six contests, pushing him up to 26 for the season. Dingler came into the year with 14 career long balls at the MLB level, so he has certainly exceeded expectations in 2026. The 27-year-old ranks second in the majors in home runs among catchers and leads his position group with 78 RBI.
