IMO you're going to want to give him time for that contact to come up as far as possible.
But keep an eye on him; if he's tearing up AAA, bring him up and let him play a bit. If he struggles, don't let him languish. In my experience catchers can be tough to get them to hit like you "want" them to. Since there's no real difference in the defense, give him time to get his bat fully developed.
