Robert drives in 3 runs as the White Sox beat the Royals 7-2
Luis Robert Jr. drove in three runs in his return to the lineup, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 7-2 on Friday night. Mike Tauchman homered to help the last-place White Sox to their third win in four games. Davis Martin struck out seven while pitching six innings of two-run ball. White Sox catcher Kyle Teel, one of baseball's top prospects, went 1 for 2 with two walks and scored a run in his major league debut. Robert hit a tiebreaking two-run single in Chicago's five-run eighth inning. He also had a run-scoring single in the second. It was Robert's first game since Monday. The slumping slugger has been working on some adjustments at the plate, and he got an extra day after he was struck on his head by a ball in the batting cage. The White Sox beat the Royals for the second time in the last 20 matchups. Maikel Garcia and Vinnie Pasquantino hit back-to-back homers for Kansas City with two out in the third inning. It was the seventh of the season for Garcia, and No. 9 for Pasquantino. Tauchman tied it at 2 when he connected against Seth Lugo in the fifth. The White Sox loaded the bases with one out in the eighth, and Robert drove in pinch-runner Michael A. Taylor and Austin Slater with a bloop single to right against Jonathan Bowlan (1-1). Teel scored on Taylor Clarke's wild pitch, and errors on third baseman Garcia and Clarke brought home two more runs. Jordan Leasure (1-4) pitched an inning for the win. Royals rookie Jac Caglianone went 0 for 4. He is 1 for 17 in his first four games. Leasure walked Jonathan India and Bobby Witt Jr. singled as Kansas City put the first two on in the eighth. Teel pounced on a bunt by Garcia and got the first out at third. Witt took third on a fielder's choice before Salvador Perez fouled out, ending the inning. The Royals swept a four-game home series with the White Sox from May 5-8 and outscored them 19-4. Chicago leads the all-time series 440-434. Royals right-hander Michael Wacha (3-4, 2.88 ERA) starts Saturday against White Sox right-hander Adrian Houser (1-1, 1.47 ERA).

Kyle Teel gets a new shirt as he joins the Chicago White Sox for big league debut
CHICAGO (AP) — Kyle Teel has a new collared shirt and his own big league opportunity. Teel, one of baseball's top prospects, was brought up by the Chicago White Sox on Friday. The 23-year-old catcher singled, walked twice and scored in a 7-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals in his major league debut. Advertisement Teel was acquired in the Garrett Crochet trade with the Boston Red Sox in December. He batted .295 with eight homers and 30 RBIs in 50 games with Triple-A Charlotte. When Chase Meidroth, another prospect who was acquired by the White Sox in the Crochet deal, was brought up in April, Meirdroth told Teel he might need a collared shirt for his major league arrival, and Teel gave the infielder one of his own. So Charlotte manager Sergio Santos returned the favor when he broke the news to Teel that he was going to Chicago, handing over a new shirt. Teel was the No. 14 pick in the 2023 amateur draft out of the University of Virginia. His arrival marks a positive moment for a last-place White Sox team in the middle of a painful rebuilding process. Advertisement Teel walked in his first plate appearance in the second. He was caught stealing home for the final out of the inning. He lined a single into left field in the fourth for his first big league hit. He also walked and scored on a wild pitch in Chicago's five-run eighth inning. The White Sox also optioned catcher Korey Lee to Charlotte before their series opener against the Royals, and right-hander Ryan Cusick was designated for assignment. The 26-year-old Lee was sidelined by a sprained left ankle before he was activated by the White Sox on May 27. He is batting .250 (7 for 28) in 14 games with Chicago this season. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press

White Sox call up catcher Kyle Teel; team's No. 2 prospect to start against Royals
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. The 23-year-old was acquired in the Garrett Crochet trade with the Boston Red Sox in December. The athleticism of the White Sox' No. 2 prospect has been on full display in Charlotte, where he was hitting .295 with eight home runs and 30 RBI in 50 games, and taking a few ground balls at first base, but the plan is for Teel to be a catcher in Chicago and he's pumped to see his dream become reality. "I'm just pure excitement. You know, it's hard to honestly describe it, because you imagine this day, and when it comes true, it feels a little different than you imagine it, but it's just really special," Teel said. "Again, you know, it's something I worked my whole life for. It's really special when you walk in the locker room and you see your nameplate on your locker. It's like, 'wow.' Like, 'I did it. I'm here, and I'm ready to go." Teel said the first person he called was his dad, Garrett. He has an extensive list of family watching his White Sox debut, with 27 members in attendance at Rate Field. When Chase Meidroth, another prospect who was acquired by the White Sox in the Crochet deal, was brought up in April, Meirdroth told Teel he might need a collared shirt for his major league arrival, and Teel gave the infielder one of his own. So Charlotte manager Sergio Santos returned the favor when he broke the news to Teel that he was going to Chicago, handing over a new shirt. Teel was the No. 14 pick in the 2023 amateur draft out of the University of Virginia. His arrival marks a positive moment for a last-place White Sox team in the middle of a painful rebuilding process.

Kyle Teel's dad delightfully spoiled White Sox call-up news
Kyle Teel's dad delightfully spoiled White Sox call-up news Former Virginia star and current No. 1 catching prospect for the Chicago White Sox, Kyle Teel, saw his major league dreams come true on Friday. After tearing it up so far in 2025 for the White Sox's Triple-A affiliate Charlotte Knights, Teel received the callup and will make his major league debut on Friday night, in which he will bat sixth for Chicago in its home game against the Kansas City Royals. In a heartwarming clip posted by the White Sox, Teel called his parents to tell them the good news. He first called his mom, asking her if she had any plans, and — when she said no — telling her she needed to book a flight to Chicago. Teel then called his dad via FaceTime, and before he could even drop the news, the emotion on his face gave it away. "Are you going to Chicago?" his dad asked. "I'll see you in Chicago tomorrow." Teel, a first-round pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2023 before being traded to Chicago last December, is batting .295 in Triple-A this season with eight home runs and 30 RBI. Now, the struggling White Sox, which sit at 20-43 on the season, will hope Teel can provide a spark for a team that appears to be on its way to a third-straight losing season.
