Teel provided a bit of an update regarding his status and how he is feeling better as time goes on.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I feel much better this week, honestly. It&#8217;s going well. I would say that like I still don&#8217;t know exactly when on the timeline I&#8217;ll be back. From the way I&#8217;ve been feeling, it&#8217;s been a steady incline. From what everyone who has hamstring injuries tell me, there&#8217;s going to be a day where it just feels really really good. That&#8217;s when you make that big jump. I feel like I&#8217;m coming up on that day really soon. I love playing so it&#8217;s tough. But everything happens for a reason so going day by day.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Teel suffered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/chicago-white-sox-kyle-teel-exits-world-baseball-classic-game-with-apparent-injury\/\">hamstring injury<\/a> in pool play for Team Italy during the World Baseball Classic on March 11. He was projected to have a 4-to-6 week recovery timeline, and we are approaching the four-week mark.\u00a0 Chicago is hoping to have him back soon to continue his progression in the majors. Teel only played in 78 games last season and had a .273\/.375\/.411 slash line with eight homers, 35 RBI, and 38 runs scored while being an excellent catcher.<\/p>\n<p>With the White Sox looking to get their core players together in the lineup, it will be interesting to see when Teel officially heads for a rehab assignment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago White Sox have been struggling, and one player who may help is catcher Kyle Teel.
