White Sox Catcher Kyle Teel Injured
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.
Kyle Teel injured his left ankle while trying to tag a runner at home plate.
He was placed on the 10-day injured list and could miss 6-12 weeks.
The Chicago White Sox recalled Edgar Quero from Triple-A to replace Teel.
Teel has struggled with injuries this season, playing only 19 games.
He was a key part of a trade with the Boston Red Sox last year.
