  "textContent": "<p>The White Sox are getting back a big bat just in time for a big series.</p><p>The team activated catcher Kyle Teel from the injured list Monday ahead of its series against the American League Central-leading Guardians, who are one game ahead of the Sox. Edgar Quero was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte. </p><p>Teel is returning from two injury rehab assignments. First, he strained his right hamstring during the World Baseball Classic on March 10. While on a rehab assignment for that injury, he sprained a knee ligament May 16. The Sox moved him to the 60-day injured list, leaving the 40-man roster at 39. He now retakes that open spot.</p><p>On his second rehab, Teel played in four games for the Knights, going 8-for-16 with one home run, four RBI and five runs scored. He went 5-for-6 on Friday at Buffalo. Last season, his first with the Sox, Teel had a .786 OPS with eight homers and 35 RBI. He led the team in batting average (.288) and on-base percentage (.376) after the All-Star break.</p><p>Quero has had a rough second big-league season, slashing .187/.253/.233 with two home runs, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored in 55 games. Sox catchers, also including Drew Romo and former Sox Reese McGuire, have combined for major-league lows of a .167 batting average and a .241 on-base percentage. Their .268 slugging percentage is second-lowest, ahead of the Yankees' .268.</p><div class=\"PageListL\" data-module data-hide-authors=\"true\" data-hide-categories=\"true\" data-hide-dates=\"true\" data-show-loadmore=\"true\" ><a class=\"AnchorLink\" id=\"list-4a0005\" name=\"list-4a0005\"></a><div class=\"PageList-header\" > <div class=\"PageList-header-title-wrap\" > <div class=\"PageList-header-title\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox\" target=\"{borderColor=#dfdfdf, pageNumber=1, inverseColors=false, footerBgColor=#000000, bodyFont=font-3, showListNumbers=false, imagePositionHorizontal=null, pullQuoteIcon=[{image=null, narrowImage=null, _template=/image/Image.hbs, alt=null}], rteBodyFont=font-3, headerBottomBorderColor=#111010, subTitle=null, stickyHeader=true, listTitleColor=#000000, tableCellBorderColor=#ccd1d5, relatedListFont=font-1, hideAuthors=true, tertiaryTextColor=#6c6c6c, buttonHoverTextColor=#ffffff, tableFont=font-1, pageCount=2501, pagination=[{body=[Next Page], href=?p=2, _template=/link/Link.hbs, contentId=null, pianoSectionSlug=null, target=null}], carouselAutoPlay=false, promoTitleFont=font-2, ctaButtonText=[], primaryTextColor=#2a2a2a, buttonTextColor=#ffffff, linkTextColor=#1a1a1a, hideTitles=false, footerLinkColor=#ffffff, carouselSpeed=null, buttonHoverBgColor=#a91d23, rteHeadingFont=font-1, secondaryColor=#656565, count=10004, hideCategories=true, _template=/page/list/includes/PageList-header.hbs, font3=Arial, font4=Source-serif-4, ctaUrl=null, hideImage=false, footerLinkHoverColor=#d3242c, hideAudioPlayback=false, secondaryTextColorInverse=#ffffff, description=[], showSecondItemMedia=false, listColumns234=null, tertiaryTextColorInverse=#ffffff, footerTextColor=#ffffff, titleUrl=https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox, headerSecondaryBgColor=#000000, primaryTextColorInverse=#ffffff, titleColor=null, ampLink=null, listHeaderPosition=null, items=[{type=Image, timestamp=1782078725000, description=[{items=[While Venable continues to learn how to do the job, many of his players are learning how to do theirs, as well.
