Chicago White Sox catcher Kyle Teel hurt his left ankle Monday night and is likely headed to the injured list, manager Will Venable said. Teel was injured while trying to apply a tag in the second inning of AL Central‑leading Chicago's 10-3 victory over the Texas Rangers. He was helped off the field while putting no weight on the ankle, and Drew Romo replaced him.

Venable said Teel would be evaluated Tuesday. "We've got to go get it get scanned and get more information," Venable said. Teel has played just 19 games this season because of hamstring and knee injuries, batting .190 with two homers and 14 RBIs. Last season he posted a .273 average with eight homers and 35 RBIs in 78 games.

The injury comes as the White Sox continue to battle injuries at key positions, and the team will need to adjust their roster as they seek to maintain their AL Central lead. Teel’s absence could WLAN impact the team’s offensive depth pending a recovery timeline. The club will monitor his progress closely as they aim to keep their playoff push on track.
