After an absence of nearly three months, the White Sox have their starting catcher back in the mix. Chicago announced Monday that Kyle Teel has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list. He’ll fill the vacant spot on the South Siders’ 40-man roster. Fellow catcher and former top prospect Edgar Quero has been optioned to Triple-A Charlotte to open a spot on the active roster.
Teel has been out since suffering a Grade 2 hamstring strain during the World Baseball Classic. He was originally slated to miss four to six weeks with that injury, but during a rehab game in mid-May, the 24-year-old suffered a sprained LCL in his right knee, shutting him down for another three to six weeks. He’s managed to return on the shorter end of that timeline and is now in line to finally make his season debut tonight.
More to come.
