They're a bottom 10 unit in terms of home runs (9), but they're also last in average (.166) and on-base percentage (.243), according to MLB research.Steve Yeager batted .197 one year for the Dodgers.Any catcher than can hit it seems like organizations want to move them out of that position.

Seems like the range is due to the level of the strain still yet to be determined.X (formerly Twitter)White Sox on CHSN (@CHSN_WhiteSox) on XKyle Teel spoke before tonight's game and provided an update on his ankle injury:At least an ankle injury is not as bad than an Achilles tear, which would have pulled him out for the season and more.

Cuz like you both said, they are usually wrong. I mean, it’s almost like we saw the same player go through the same exact situation once this year already… Edited 10 hours ago10 hr by WhiteSox2023

1 hour ago1 hr Silly question, perhaps, but if this is now the second cleat-related injury...maybe the type of cleat that Teel uses needs to be re-thought? I get that these are freak accidents in a way, but still.

His cleat got stuck in the clay. You could see it on the replay from behind the plate.

Naturally teams do not want to give unreal expectations for early return because setbacks do occur. Why is it necessary to keep expecting disasters . s%*# happens that's life. Get over it. Sometimes life also provides better options from a disaster, Happy for Teel if the shorter timeline is true but it's not like we were losing great production from him, only the hope that he would get over his rust. Maybe what they need is just a solid defensive backup catcher who can hit a smidge better than the current versions of Quero and Romo like Torrens of the Mets. Multiple years left, only 30 years old but not too costly.
