White Sox Catcher Kyle Teel Injured
White Sox catcher Kyle Teel placed on injured list with high ankle sprain and could miss 6-12 weeks · livemint.com

Kyle Teel, the catcher for the Chicago White Sox, hurt his ankle badly while trying to tag a runner at home plate.

The team's doctor says he might need 6 to 12 weeks to get better.

This is a big problem because Teel has already missed a lot of games this year due to other injuries.

The White Sox called up another catcher, Edgar Quero, to play while Teel is hurt.

Teel was a big part of a trade last year and has shown he can hit well in the past.

The team hopes he gets better quickly, but it might take a while.

Will Venable

Chicago White Sox manager

“It’s going to be some time, but I think with a range that big and Kyle being a young, strong man that he can go about his treatment and rehab and hopefully make it as quick as possible.”
