The Chicago White Sox activated catcher Kyle Teel from the 60-day injured list on Monday and optioned catcher Edgar Quero to Triple-A Charlotte. Teel entered the starting lineup for his season debut, batting third in the opener of a three-game series.
He had been sidelined after straining his right hamstring while playing for Italy in the World Baseball Classic and later injuring his right knee during a rehab assignment with Charlotte.
Background on the player Teel, a first-round pick in the 2023 amateur draft, was acquired by Chicago in the Garrett Crochet trade in December 2024. He hit .273 with eight homers and 35 RBIs in 78 games last year in his first action with the White Sox. During a second rehab stint with the Knights, Teel went 8-for-16 with a homer and four RBIs over four games.
Team context The White Sox returned home after going 1-5 on a six-game trip.
They entered the series one game behind the opponent. Quero has struggled at the plate in his second major league season, batting .187 with two homers and 15 RBIs in 55 games. He was acquired in a July 2023 trade with the Los Angeles Angels.
