White Sox catcher Kyle Teel placed on injured list with high ankle sprain and could miss 6-12 weeks | National Sports

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Chicago White Sox catcher Kyle Teel is expected to miss a significant amount of time after being placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, a day after injuring his left ankle when trying to apply a tag at home plate.

Before the AL Central-leading White Sox played the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night, manager Will Venable said Teel was still being evaluated but could be out six to 12 weeks with a high ankle sprain.
