Teel Injury Prompts White Sox Catcher Moves
Kyle Teel left Monday’s game against the Texas Rangers with an apparent left leg injury, assisted off the field as Drew Romo took over behind the plate. Will Venable indicated Teel remains a pivotal piece whose health could influence Chicago’s catching plans ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline. The injury’s severity is not yet known, and Teel’s status could determine whether Romo secures expanded playing time. Separately, Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. exited with low back tightness after playing through a flare but returned after medical clearance. In related developments, Colorado acquired pitcher Frasso, described as a low-risk, high-upside addition amid front-office strategy shifts. The focus remains on Teel’s health and the White Sox’s catchers as they navigate the deadline and possible roster adjustments.
