White Sox's Kyle Teel: First homer since coming off IL
Rotowire
Teel went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Sunday against Minnesota.
Teel officially made the game a blowout with a three-run home run to straightaway center field in the eighth inning, giving the White Sox a 10-1 lead. This was the backstop's first long ball since July 5 after a high-ankle sprain landed him on the IL just after the All-Star break. Teel now has three homers on the year and increased his batting average to .181 after ending last season with a .273/.375/.411 slash line and eight homers in 78 games during his MLB debut.

White Sox's Kyle Teel: Reinstated from injured list
Rotowire
The White Sox activated Teel (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Teel landed on the IL just after the All-Star break with a left high-ankle sprain, but he's been deemed fit to return after going 7-for-22 with one home run and one double in six rehab contests. The young catcher has been limited to only 19 games in the big leagues this season due to injury, slashing .190/.271/.317 in those tilts. Teel will serve as the primary catcher for the White Sox down the stretch, though the left-handed hitter could sit in favor of Jake Rogers versus lefties.

White Sox's Kyle Teel: Rehab assignment on tap
Rotowire
The White Sox plan to send Teel (ankle) to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Teel landed back on the IL on July 21 due to a left high-ankle sprain, but he's recovering faster than anticipated and was able to run the bases a couple of times this weekend without issue. The White Sox haven't outlined how long Teel's rehab assignment will last, but as soon as he proves he can catch a full nine-inning game, he'll likely return to the big-league roster. Chicago has been getting by with a timeshare of Drew Romo and Jake Rogers behind the plate of late, but Teel will take over as the clear No. 1 backstop once he's healthy.

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.

This isn't a great sign for Teel, who needed assistance from the training staff to get off the field after suffering an ankle injury Monday. The White Sox have yet to provide any additional information on the severity of Teel's injury, but more news should surface closer to Tuesday's matchup.

Rotowire

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.

Rotowire
Teel went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Guardians.

Teel has also managed to tally 10 RBI in 11 contests.

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.
