10 hours ago10 hr From the Sun-Times story this evening:It’s May and what’s up with Kyle Teel?The projected starting catcher has been down with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain since March 10 after running out a double for Team Italy in a victory over Team USA during the World Baseball Classic. Though he’s been throwing and hitting and even crouching to do some catching, running has been problematic Teel admitted on Wednesday.“Every day I’m taking a step to be back playing baseball,” Teel said. “The rehab is going good. I’m running better every single day. And it’s only a matter of time before I’ll be ready to go on my rehab assignment and be back.”Teel has been saying this for weeks. But the reality is this: Around April 19, Teel had a setback running and his rehab assignment at that point was delayed. Originally he was only supposed to be out four to six weeks. That timetable has long since come and gone.You can’t play if you can’t run and the Sox continue to delay his minor-league rehab assignment. Plus, Venable has been satisfied with the work of Drew Romo both behind the plate and working with the pitching staff.“Teel is getting closer,” Venable said. “I feel really good about his progress, him getting up to speed with his running. But some of the recovery has been slower than we wanted. We’ll continue to push him to run the bases when we go home and see where we are at.”
9 hours ago9 hr Not good at all. hamstring is probably the worst lower body soft tissue injury outside a tendon or ligament rupture. We will be lucky to see him by June in Chicago it seems. Edited 9 hours ago9 hr by chitownsportsfan

Anyway, whatever happened there seems to have created another uncertain timeline. As a fan, I wish someone from the White Sox medical or training staff would address this rather than Venable.
