Chicago White Sox Catcher Kyle Teel Likely Out 4-6 Weeks with Right Hamstring Injury Suffered at WBC
Kyle Teel suffered a Grade 2 right hamstring strain running the bases in the World Baseball Classic and faces 4-6 weeks sidelined, impacting White Sox and Team Italy catching options.
- On Tuesday, Chicago White Sox catcher Kyle Teel suffered a right hamstring strain during Team Italy's World Baseball Classic win over the United States in Houston. General manager Chris Getz confirmed Wednesday that Teel will likely miss four to six weeks.
- Teel sustained the injury while rounding first base on a sixth-inning double against United States pitcher Ryan Yarbrough. He left the game under his own power after appearing in pain while running toward second base.
- Edgar Quero is expected to handle the bulk of catching innings for the White Sox while Teel recovers. The 24-year-old, acquired from the Boston Red Sox, slashed.273 with eight home runs and 35 RBIs across 78 games last season.
- Manager Will Venable texted Teel on Tuesday night to check on his headspace. Teel will remain with Team Italy on Wednesday before rejoining the White Sox on Thursday to continue his rehab.
- With Teel sidelined, Mickey Gasper is traveling to Houston to potentially replace him on Team Italy's roster. The squad seeks a victory or specific outcome against Mexico to advance to the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals.
