White Sox catcher Kyle Teel out for 6‑12 weeks with high ankle sprain

Kyle Teel, a key defensive piece for the White Sox, suffered the injury during a routine play in early July. Medical staff diagnosed a high ankle sprain and moved him to the 10‑day injured list, estimating a recovery period of six to twelve weeks.

The lengthy absence forces the club to reshuffle its catching depth and consider short‑term options. Teel’s health will be closely monitored as the team aims to stay competitive through the second half of the season.
