Teel (knee) will begin a running program Saturday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports. Teel has yet to play with the White Sox this season after he initially suffered a hamstring injury during the World Baseball Classic. He began a rehab assignment earlier this month but then sustained a sprained LCL in his right knee after four games with Triple-A Charlotte. Now on the 60-day injured list, Teel will begin to ramp things back up with an eye toward returning to the Chicago lineup sometime next month.
The White Sox transferred Teel (hamstring/knee) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday. Teel has been on the injured list all season due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the World Baseball Classic, and he suffered a setback with his knee while playing a rehab game at Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday. Now expected to remain out for another several weeks, Teel moves to the 60-day IL and gives up his 40-man roster spot to Joe Rock, whom the White Sox acquired in a trade with the Rays on Tuesday.
Teel (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined an additional 3-to-6 weeks after suffering a sprained LCL in his right knee during a rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports. Teel tweaked the knee on a swing during his fourth rehab contest, which will delay his season debut several more weeks. He initially landed on the 10-day injured list before the season due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain. Drew Romo and Edgar Quero will continue to share catching duties for the White Sox while Teel recuperates.
