The club announced Monday Teel suffered a sprained right knee which will sideline him for three to six weeks. The Chicago Tribune's Lamond Pope reports Teel went down Saturday while playing for Triple-A Charlotte. Teel had been on a rehab assignment with the Knights for a right hamstring strain he suffered in March during the World Baseball Classic.
“Really disappointing,” White Sox manager Will Venable said Monday, according to Pope. “Happy that it wasn’t a tear or anything. With the sprain, hopefully it’s just a matter of weeks and not months that he’s back healthy and running around and playing.
“Talked to him today, he’s optimistic and in good spirits. But just disappointing. ” According to Venable, Teel suffered the injury in his fourth at-bat on Saturday when he caught a cleat in the batter’s box during a swing.
