Rehab Update
Kyle Teel, the Chicago White Sox catcher, has taken a significant step in his recovery from a hamstring injury by beginning to hit off a tee and participating in catching drills.
The 24‑year‑old, who has been sidelined since the start of the season, also resumed light running at the end of May, a sign that his conditioning is improving, though the work remains far from game‑ready intensity.
Manager Will Venable has been cautious in his assessment, noting that the drills are being performed at a controlled pace and that Teel is still some distance from a full return to the lineup.
Given the gradual nature of his rehabilitation, Teel is expected to require a rehab assignment that could stretch into July, giving the organization ample time to evaluate his readiness before a potential activation.
The White Sox’s medical staff continues to monitor Teel’s progress closely, with the aim of integrating him back into competitive play only when he meets the necessary physical benchmarks.
