White Sox Catcher Kyle Teel Out with Ankle Injury

Chicago White Sox catcher Kyle Teel has been placed on the 10-day injured list after suffering a high ankle sprain during a game on Monday. The injury occurred when Teel attempted to make a tag at home plate, causing him to land awkwardly on his left ankle. Manager Will Venable announced Tuesday that Teel is expected to miss six to 12 weeks, depending on how he responds to treatment. Teel is a key player for the White Sox, who currently lead the American League Central division. In his absence, the team has called up 22-year-old switch-hitting catcher Edgar Quero from Triple-A Charlotte. Quero will join the major league roster as the backup catcher. The White Sox are hopeful that Teel will recover fully and return later this season. Teel has been an important contributor both offensively and defensively. His absence may require adjustments to the lineup and game strategy. The team faces a series against the Texas Rangers this week. Fans and teammates alike are wishing Teel a speedy recovery. Sports medicine staff will monitor his progress closely. The White Sox have depth in their catching position, but Teel's experience will be missed.
