Batting sixth in MLB debut Teel is starting behind the plate and batting sixth Friday against the Royals.

Impact The 23-year-old will immediately enter the starting lineup after being added to the big-league roster Friday, and he'll do the catching for right-hander Davis Martin. Teel had an .886 OPS with eight homers and seven steals in 50 games with Triple-A Charlotte prior to being promoted, and he could take the No. 1 catching job from Edgar Quero with a strong start to his MLB career.

Promotion official The White Sox selected Teel's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Impact The 23-year-old is poised to make his MLB debut after posting a .295/.394/.492 slash line with eight homers and seven steals in 50 games for Charlotte to begin the season. Teel, who was acquired from the Red Sox in the Garrett Crochet trade in December, should split playing time behind the plate with Edgar Quero since Korey Lee was optioned to Triple-A on Friday. Teel has also been taking reps at first base but has yet to see game action there at the professional level, so he may need some time to get more comfortable at the position.

Joining ChiSox The White Sox are expected to select Teel's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact After slashing .295/.394/.492 with eight homers, 30 RBI, 34 runs scored and seven steals through 50 games with Charlotte, Teel will now report to Chicago for his first career stint in the majors. The 23-year-old has only ever played catcher during his professional career; however, the team has been getting him fielding practice at first base over the past several days. With fellow prospect Edgar Quero already starting behind the plate most days for the White Sox and batting .256 on the year, learning a new position would certainly help Teel's chances of cracking the lineup regularly. That being said, it will likely take a while for him to feel comfortable enough at first base to begin playing there in major-league games.

Taking grounders at first base Teel has been working out at first base recently at Triple-A Charlotte, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Teel has yet to play a position other than catcher in pro ball, and it's unlikely he'll be moved off that position on a full-time basis anytime soon. However, with Edgar Quero also vying for reps behind the plate, it makes sense for Teel to get some reps at another position. Teel is slashing .289/.394/.491 with eight home runs and seven stolen bases over 48 games with Charlotte in 2025.

Headed to minors The White Sox reassigned Teel to minor-league camp Monday.

Impact Though Teel and Edgar Quero are two of the more highly regarded catching prospects not just in the White Sox organization but in all of baseball, the duo will likely split time behind the plate and at designated hitter at Triple-A Charlotte to begin the season before making their respective MLB debuts later on in 2025. The White Sox appear set to proceed with Korey Lee as their No. 1 catcher, but after he posted a .591 OPS over 394 plate appearances in 2024, he likely won't be tough to dislodge atop the depth chart once the organization is confident Teel and/or Quero are big-league ready. As a member of the Red Sox organization last season, Teel slashed .288/.386/.433 with 13 home runs and 12 steals over 112 games at the Double-A and Triple-A levels.

Slugging this spring Teel is 5-for-15 with two home runs and a 4:3 K:BB this spring.

Impact Teel came into White Sox camp seemingly as a long shot to make the team, and that probably remains the case given that he's made just two starts (and just one at catcher). However, he's undoubtedly made a good first impression after landing with Chicago this offseason in the trade that sent Garrett Crochet to the Red Sox. Fellow catching prospect Edgar Quero has not made a single start this spring. The White Sox seem likely to go with a Korey Lee/Matt Thaiss combo behind the plate to open the season, although non-roster invitee Omar Narvaez is also in the mix.

Park of return for Crochet The White Sox are slated to acquire Teel from the Red Sox as part of the Garrett Crochet trade, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact A first-round pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Teel batted .288/.386/.433 with 13 home runs and 12 stolen bases over 112 games between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester in 2024. He'll turn 23 in February and should take over as the White Sox' starting catcher sooner rather than later.

DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted to Triple-A Teel was called up to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Teel has produced a .294 average with 11 home runs, 59 RBI, 64 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 320 at-bats in 83 games with Double-A Portland in 2024. He will look to keep it up at the Triple-A level, where he'll also be joined by shortstop Marcelo Mayer and outfielder Roman Anthony.
