Kyle Teel Could Miss 4-6 Weeks With Hamstring Strain
Chicago White Sox catcher Kyle Teel (hamstring) has been diagnosed with a right-hamstring strain and could end up missing four to six weeks, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Officially, Teel has a Grade 2 hamstring strain that he suffered while running out a double in Team Italy's upset win over the United States in the World Baseball Classic on Tuesday. The 24-year-old left-handed-hitting catcher will drop out of the WBC and will most likely start the 2026 regular season on the injured list as a result. It will mean more catching duties for Edgar Quero to begin the year for the White Sox. Teel's injury should also free up more playing time at designated hitter for Lenyn Sosa. When he's past his hamstring injury, Teel should be in Chicago's lineup regularly after hitting .273/.375/.411 with a .786 OPS, eight homers, and 35 RBI in his first 78 major-league games in 2025. His injury shouldn't change the fact that he's a high-end No. 2 catcher target in fantasy drafts with upside for more going into his first full MLB season.
