Overview
- Chicago announced Monday that Kyle Teel sprained a right knee ligament and will miss roughly three to six weeks.
- Teel was injured Saturday with Triple-A Charlotte when his cleat caught during a swing, according to manager Will Venable.
- The catcher had been rehabbing a Grade 2 right hamstring strain suffered in March while playing for Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic.
- With Teel shut down, Edgar Quero and Drew Romo will handle catching duties as Venable says the group is still sharpening blocking and framing.
- The club could move Teel to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man spot, which would push any big-league return to late June at the earliest, per MLB Trade Rumors.
