In his first MLB plate appearance, Teel drew a walk against 2024 All-Star Seth Lugo in the bottom of the second inning. Two innings later, Teel collected the first hit of his MLB career, flicking an opposite-field single off of Lugo to load the bases.

The Chicago White Sox have called up another one of their top prospects, catcher Kyle Teel. To make room, they've sent down another young catcher to AAA Charlotte, Korey Lee. Teel will start behind the plate while batting sixth on Friday night in his Major League Baseball debut against the Kansas City Royals.
