Kyle Teel, once a top prospect for the Boston Red Sox, has been called up to the Chicago White Sox for his MLB debut. Teel was traded as a key piece to acquire pitcher Garrett Crochet. This season, he recorded impressive stats in Triple-A, batting .295 with eight home runs. His 19-game hitting streak in May with a .333 average has solidified his readiness. With the White Sox struggling this season, they hope Teel can bring energy and a fresh start behind the plate.
Teel, who was a top prospect with the Red Sox after being drafted 14th overall in 2023, was the main trade piece Boston used along with three other prospects to obtain ace starting pitcher Garrett Crochet this offseason.
Teel produced a .333 batting average with five homers and 14 RBIs in May.
The White Sox are 23 games under .500 at 20-43, and this comes after a season in which they piled up 121 losses.
Teel will look to provide Chicago with a much-needed jolt and the White Sox could look to give him a majority of the playing time behind the plate over Edgar Quero.
