The Chicago White Sox reinstated catcher Kyle Teel from the 60-day injured list ahead of Monday's series opener against the visiting Cleveland Guardians.

Teel, 24, opened the season on the IL. After straining his right hamstring during Team Italy's World Baseball Classic game against the United States on March 10, he sprained the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee during a rehab stint at Triple-A Charlotte on May 16.

Teel just completed a four-game rehab stint at Charlotte, where he batted .500 (8-for-16) with one home run, four RBIs and five runs. He posted a five-hit game at Buffalo on Friday.

A first-round draft pick (14th overall) by Boston in 2023, Teel came to Chicago in the December 2024 deal that sent left-hander Garrett Crochet to the Red Sox.

Teel made his major league debut last season and batted .273 with eight homers and 35 RBIs in 78 games for the White Sox.

Chicago optioned catcher Edgar Quero, 23, to Charlotte in a corresponding move Monday. Quero is batting .187 with two homers and 15 RBIs in 55 games this season.
