Kyle Teel Fantasy Stats

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chicago White Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored on Wednesday for Triple-A Charlotte. The performance lifted his season-long slash line to .295/.394/.492 to go along with eight home runs, 30 RBI, 34 runs scored, and seven steals. Not to be forgotten in all of the offense, the 23-year-old backstop also threw out a runner, namely Justin Crawford, who has the third-most steals (22) in the International League. The former first-rounder continues to build his resume for a promotion to the majors, and getting practice reps at first base recently only makes his case more formidable. Look for Chicago's second-ranked prospect to be in the majors by midseason, and with the prospect of first base eligibility down the line, his fantasy appeal keeps growing.

Chicago White Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel has reportedly been getting practice reps at first base in an effort to add to his positional versatility, which should provide multiple paths to the majors and playing time once he gets there. The team just got Korey Lee back from the IL, and while he doesn't add much with the bat, he gets rave reviews for his defense and game-calling ability. The Sox also promoted Edgar Quero earlier this season, who has acquitted himself well at the plate thus far. First baseman and former third-overall draft pick Andrew Vaughn hasn't panned out, and after getting off to a terrible start this year, was consequently optioned to Triple-A on May 23, which has provided an opportunity for someone to fill that gap. Teel hit safely in 28 of 30 games, batting .345 with seven doubles and five home runs from April 13 to May 27 before cooling off over his last four games. The 23-year-old should be up by mid-season and is one of the top prospect stashes. If he gets added first-base eligibility, it would make him even more appealing for fantasy.

Chicago White Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel earned International League Player of the Week honors for his performance last week, going 8-for-16 with three home runs, six RBI, seven runs scored, and a 6:5 BB:K over a five-game stretch. After an underwhelming 14 games to open the season, the 23-year-old has now hit safely in 27 of his last 29 games and has gotten on base via hit or walk in 32 straight contests. Chicago's second-ranked prospect (MLB No. 28) is now slashing .293/.397/.490 with seven home runs through 43 games for Triple-A Charlotte. Expect the former first-round draft pick to earn a promotion to the big leagues in the coming months, who could be a solid offensive catcher for fantasy, depending on how the Sox divvy up playing time between him and fellow backstop Edgar Quero who has been hitting for average (.273) but with zero home runs in 99 at-bats and only a 101 wRC+.
