While I contended that Kyle Teel’s skill set probably is still viewed strongly by the organization, my colleague Scott Merkin relays that his injury recovery timeline optimism remains as strong as ever.
Here’s today’s Kyle Teel injury update: When the high left ankle sprain first happened, it was an 8-12 week outlook. But according to Teel, the news he received last night was optimistic for potentially 5-8 weeks with the sprain not being as high as originally thought.

Autocorrect keeps wanting me to add an accent mark to make it Tristán Peters. That’s a good segue to reveal that one of Peters’ clubhouse nicknames is “Kevin” because his teammates thought the No. 29 on his cleats looks like it’s in the font of a NASCAR number. They looked up and saw that Kevin Harvick often raced in a No. 29 car, and long story short, Peters will respond to the name Kevin when he’s in the clubhouse.
