Kyle Teel to be Chicago's Everyday Catcher?

It sounds like the Chicago White Sox view catcher Kyle Teel as their everyday catcher. "We do view Teel as an everyday guy. But at the catching position, we know that doesn't mean you're actually in there every day. It's a demanding role. And Edgar is a guy that we like the bat against lefties, so there's DH opportunities for him. He's going to be able to catch, too, so there should be plenty of at-bats for those guys," manager Will Venable said when asked about splitting at-bats for Teel and Edgar Quero in 2026. Teel, a 23-year-old left-handed-hitting backstop, made his major-league debut last year and held his own with a .273/.375/.411 slash line, .786 OPS, eight home runs, 35 RBI, 38 runs scored, and even three steals in 78 games played in Chicago. Teel didn't look great against left-handed pitchers, but he's clearly the team's preferred catcher, and the rest of his profile makes him an attractive low-end starting catching target with upside.

Kyle Teel to Share Time Behind the Dish?

Chicago White Sox general manager Chris Getz said that both young catchers Edgar Quero and Kyle Teel will work exclusively as catchers in 2026, according to Bruce Levine of 670 The Score. Teel, a former 14th overall pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2023 out of Virginia, has the higher fantasy baseball ceiling as a low-end starting catching option in single-catcher leagues. The 23-year-old left-handed hitter made his MLB debut in 2025 and hit .273/.375/.411 with a .786 OPS, eight home runs, 35 RBI, and 38 runs in 253 at-bats. Quero was in the big leagues in Chicago before Teel, but Teel saw most of the playing time behind the dish against righties. Quero, 22, hit .268/.333/.356 with a .689 OPS, five homers, 36 RBI, and 31 runs in 365 at-bats. Teel should be a solid source of on-base percentage at the catching position against lefties in what could be a platoon in the Windy City.

Kyle Teel Adds Muscle This Offseason

Chicago White Sox catcher Kyle Teel has reportedly put on some muscle this offseason. According to Scott Merkin, Teel has added about 20 pounds of muscle mass as he prepares for the 2026 season. The 23-year-old put together solid numbers during his time on the South Side last season. Teel slashed .273/.375/.411 with eight home runs and 35 RBI in 78 games in 2025. The hope is that the addition of muscle mass will help Teel in the power category this upcoming season. The former first-round pick is hopefully going to be a big part of the future on the South Side of Chicago. Fantasy managers should be excited to see what a full season of Teel looks like at the big league level.

Kyle Teel on Bench for Matinee

Chicago White Sox catcher Kyle Teel is out of the lineup for the first game of his team's home doubleheader against the visiting Cleveland Guardians. Teel will take a seat with left-handed hurler Logan Allen taking the bump -- marking the second straight outing he'll sit against a southpaw. Switch-hitting backstop Edgar Quero will occupy behind home plate and bat cleanup for the Pale Hose. It makes sense that Chicago would prefer Quero to Teel against lefties, as the former's .435 (27-for-62) average is far superior to the latter's (.125). The White Sox's No. 2 prospect has been decent in his big-league debut, but has yet to leave the yard -- something he did eight times over 20 games earlier in the year with Triple-A Charlotte.

Kyle Teel Doubles, Knocks in Two in Win

Chicago White Sox catcher Kyle Teel went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in his team's 5-2 home win against the San Francisco Giants. He added two singles and a run scored to mark his second three-hit performance in four days. Chicago's No. 2 prospect is still searching for his first big-league homer, but he's picked it up recently to notch four doubles over his last six outings. Professional pitching hasn't appeared too overwhelming for him, though it's worth noting he's been far better against right-handers (.341) than southpaws (.167). It isn't a large sample, but Teel has impressed in his short stint with the Pale Hose, slashing .319/.421/.404 through his first 16 contests. The 22-year-old holds a wildly high 15.1% walk rate thus far, and his .500 xSLG would make him a top 60 player in the metric if he qualified.

Kyle Teel Tallies Three Hits in Wednesday's Victory

Chicago White Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI during the victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday evening. Teel knocked an RBI single in the opening frame, which scored Miguel Vargas. Through his first taste of MLB action, Teel has continued to showcase a strong eye at the plate. Through 14 games, Teel has drawn walks at a stellar 17.8% rate. During this stretch, he has held a .282/.408/.359 slash line with a 15:8 K:BB and three doubles. Earlier this season at Triple-A, Teel was very productive, posting a .295/.394/.492 line with 10 doubles and eight long balls across 50 games. Teel should continue to see close to everyday at-bats in the White Sox lineup and is a viable No. 2 catcher in all fantasy formats.

Kyle Teel Batting Fifth on Saturday

Chicago White Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel will be batting fifth on Saturday when the White Sox continue a series against the Kansas City Royals. Teel will serve as the DH, which will allow Edgar Quero to enter the lineup and be behind the dish. Teel made his MLB debut on Friday evening and went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run. In this game, Teel was batting sixth. It is an excellent sign for his fantasy potential to see him already begin to move up the batting order. Earlier this season at Triple-A, the No. 28-ranked prospect posted a strong .295/.394/.492 slash line with 10 doubles, eight home runs, and a 54:30 K:BB. Given his high power upside and clear path to an everyday role in the starting nine, Teel is a viable waiver wire target in all standard leagues.

Kyle Teel Gets on Base Three Times in MLB Debut

Chicago White Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel went 1-for-2 with two walks during his MLB debut on Friday evening. Teel was batting the six-hole and was behind the dish. Teel hit a single in the fourth inning off Kansas City right-hander Seth Lugo. Fantasy managers should expect both Teel and Edgar Quero to share catching duties in Chicago. Earlier this season, Teel was showing high power upside with Triple-A Charlotte. Through 50 contests, the No. 28-ranked prospect in baseball posted a .295/.394/.492 slash line with 10 doubles, eight home runs, and seven stolen bases. Since May 1 at Triple-A, Teel was one of the most productive hitters at the level, posting a stellar .341/.400/.600 slash with seven doubles and five round-trippers. Given his power potential, he is worth adding in all 12-team standard formats.

Kyle Teel Catching and Batting Sixth in MLB Debut

Chicago White Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel is doing the catching and is batting sixth in his major-league debut on Friday against the division-rival Kansas City Royals and right-hander Seth Lugo. Fellow catching prospect Edgar Quero will head to the bench, and he figures to lose playing time going forward if Teel asserts himself immediately with the lumber. Quero is still searching for his first homer while batting .256/.343/.306 in 121 at-bats. Teel, the club's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, had an .886 OPS with eight home runs and seven stolen bases at Triple-A Charlotte to earn the big-league promotion. The 23-year-old left-handed hitter was the former 14th overall pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2023 out of Virginia. Teel hits from the left side and has a higher offensive ceiling than most catchers, making him worth an immediate waiver-wire pickup in single-year fantasy leagues.

Kyle Teel Being Called Up by White Sox

Chicago White Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel was scratched from the lineup at Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday and is expected to join the big-league club for his major-league debut, according to MassLive's Chris Cotillo. The White Sox already have catching prospect Edgar Quero at the major-league level, but Teel, the former 14th overall pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2023 out of Virginia, recently began taking ground balls at first base at Charlotte. Teel was hitting .295/.394/.492 with eight home runs and 30 RBI in 183 at-bats with Charlotte this year before his call-up. The team's No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, should play regularly between first base and catcher in the big leagues, making him worth a waiver-wire pickup in mixed fantasy leagues. Teel could be making his major-league debut in Friday's series opener against the division-rival Kansas City Royals.
