Overview

  • The White Sox reinstated Kyle Teel from the injured list on Friday and moved Drew Romo to Triple‑A Charlotte while keeping Romo in town as taxi depth.
  • Teel has played only 19 games this season after a right hamstring strain, right knee sprain and a left ankle sprain and is batting .190/.271/.317 in limited action.
  • Veteran Jake Rogers, acquired in mid‑August, will stay on the active roster as a left‑handed platoon partner despite going 4‑for‑30 since the pickup.
  • Romo has appeared in 60 games this year primarily for his pitch framing and game‑calling even though he has hit .141/.239/.288 offensively.
  • Chicago is 73‑67 with a three‑game AL Central lead and Teel’s return reshapes how the club can protect pitchers and manage matchups with Joey Bart still sidelined by a fractured left hand.
