White Sox's Kyle Teel: Scheduled for batting practice
Rotowire
Teel (ankle) will participate in batting practice Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Teel continues to make progress in his recovery from a left high-ankle sprain that he sustained shortly after the All-Star break. The next step in his program is to embark on a rehab assignment, at which point the White Sox will have a better idea of when Teel could return to the majors, which could be as soon as early September.
White Sox's Kyle Teel: Could start rehab by end of August
Rotowire
White Sox manager Will Venable said Thursday that Teel's (ankle) current progress should have him ready to begin a rehab assignment before the end of August, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.
Teel is a little more than three weeks into a projected 6-to-12 week timetable as he works his way back from a left high-ankle sprain. He's currently running at about 80 percent and is expected to be cleared to hit off the Trejekt machine soon. The six-week mark in Teel's recovery would be Sept. 1, and it seems he has a good shot to be back around that time. However, the young catcher still has several boxes to check before a possible return date comes into focus.

White Sox's Kyle Teel: Set to miss extended time
Rotowire
Teel is expected to miss 6-to-12 weeks due to left high-ankle sprain, MLB.com reports.
When Teel was placed on the injured list, his timeline to return was unclear. The White Sox have since announced that Teel will be sidelined at least six weeks, or until the beginning of September. He's had a frustrating 2026 season, as he was unable to make his debut until June 22 due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the World Baseball Classic.
The White Sox placed Teel on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left ankle sprain.
The 24-year-old departed Monday's game against the Rangers due to the injury and was sporting crutches after the contest, so it's hardly a surprise that he's ended up on the IL. It's unclear how long Teel is expected to be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to be reinstated July 31. Edgar Quero was called up from Triple-A Charlotte and should split catching duties with Drew Romo while Teel is out.

Rotowire
Teel was removed from Monday's game against the Rangers after suffering an apparent left leg injury, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Teel needed help getting off the field after attempting to make a tag at the plate in the bottom of the second inning, and he was spotted heading straight to the clubhouse, presumably for further evaluation. Drew Romo entered the game in Teel's place and could be in line for more opportunities behind the dish if Teel requires a trip to the injured list.

White Sox's Kyle Teel: Knocks in two
Rotowire
Teel went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Sunday against the Royals.
Teel delivered a two-RBI single in the second inning to account for his production on the day. He now has at least one hit in three of his four starts since making his season debut, and he also has two multi-RBI showings. Teel has been in the lineup for four of a possible six games, so he doesn't look to have extensive workload restrictions.

White Sox's Kyle Teel: Activated ahead of season debut
Rotowire
The White Sox activated Teel (knee/hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Teel is finally ready to make his season debut after missing nearly three months, first due to a right hamstring strain and then a right knee LCL sprain. The young catcher was very productive on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte, slashing .387/.441/.613 with two home runs and a 3:7 BB:K in eight contests. Teel will serve as Chicago's primary catcher, and he is starting behind the plate and batting cleanup Monday against the Guardians in his season debut.
