The left-handed-hitting Teel started behind the plate in both of the White Sox's previous two contests but will take a seat for Wednesday's matinee while the Blue Jays send lefty Eric Lauer to the bump. Edgar Quero will draw the start at catcher in the series finale.

White Sox's Kyle Teel: First career extra-base hit
Rotowire
Teel went 1-for-4 with a double Friday against the Blue Jays.
After Teel collected hits in both of his first two big-league games, he slowed at the plate and has hit just .174 with a 37.9 percent strikeout rate in his last nine games. He's started only two of the White Sox's last four contests after playing nearly every day, though Chicago will almost certainly still look to get him in the lineup regularly. Teel has also started to turn things around slowly, tallying at least one hit in each of his last four starts while logging his first career extra-base hit Friday.

White Sox's Kyle Teel: On bench Saturday
Rotowire
Teel isn't part of the starting nine for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.
Teel and Edgar Quero have alternated starts behind the plate since June 11, and Saturday's contest happens to be Quero's turn to catch. Teel is slashing .241/.378/.276 across 37 plate appearances this season.
The White Sox selected Teel's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
The 23-year-old is poised to make his MLB debut after posting a .295/.394/.492 slash line with eight homers and seven steals in 50 games for Charlotte to begin the season. Teel, who was acquired from the Red Sox as part of the Garrett Crochet trade in December, should split playing time behind the plate with Edgar Quero following Korey Lee's demotion to Triple-A on Friday. Teel has also been taking reps at first base but has yet to see game action there at the professional level, so he may need some time to get more comfortable at the position. The White Sox could also DH either of the young backstops to get them more playing time.

White Sox's Kyle Teel: On base three times in debut
Rotowire
Teel went 1-for-2 with a run scored and two walks Friday against the Royals.
Teel made his big-league debut Friday night, hitting sixth while starting behind the plate. He worked a walk in his first plate appearance and laced a single to left field in the fourth inning for his first big-league hit. Teel should be a regular in the White Sox's lineup, though it remains unclear whether he will mix in at first base or designated hitter in addition to his work at catcher.

White Sox's Kyle Teel: Batting sixth in MLB debut
Rotowire
Teel is starting behind the plate and batting sixth Friday against the Royals.
The 23-year-old will immediately enter the starting lineup after being added to the big-league roster Friday, and he'll do the catching for right-hander Davis Martin. Teel had an .886 OPS with eight homers and seven steals in 50 games with Triple-A Charlotte prior to being promoted, and he could take the No. 1 catching job from Edgar Quero with a strong start to his MLB career.
The White Sox are expected to select Teel's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
After slashing .295/.394/.492 with eight homers, 30 RBI, 34 runs scored and seven steals through 50 games with Charlotte, Teel will now report to Chicago for his first career stint in the majors. The 23-year-old has only ever played catcher during his professional career; however, the team has been getting him fielding practice at first base over the past several days. With fellow prospect Edgar Quero already starting behind the plate most days for the White Sox and batting .256 on the year, learning a new position would certainly help Teel's chances of cracking the lineup regularly. That being said, it will likely take a while for him to feel comfortable enough at first base to begin playing there in major-league games.
White Sox's Kyle Teel: Taking grounders at first base
Rotowire
Teel has been working out at first base recently at Triple-A Charlotte, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Teel has yet to play a position other than catcher in pro ball, and it's unlikely he'll be moved off that position on a full-time basis anytime soon. However, with Edgar Quero also vying for reps behind the plate, it makes sense for Teel to get some reps at another position. Teel is slashing .289/.394/.491 with eight home runs and seven stolen bases over 48 games with Charlotte in 2025.
