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.

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.
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.
