Free agent after option declined The White Sox declined Moncada's $25 million club option for 2025, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Impact The veteran infielder will be given a $5 million buyout. It was an obvious move, given where the White Sox' roster stands and the fact that Moncada was limited to just 12 games in 2024 and 92 games in 2023 due to injury. Moncada won't turn 30 until May, but durability concerns and inconsistent production could point to a bearish market this winter.

First appearance since activiation Moncada went 0-for-1 in Thursday's loss to the Angels.
Impact Moncada appeared in his first game since being activated from the injured list. He entered the contest as a pinch-runner in the 12th inning and struck out in his only plate appearance. Moncada does not appear to have a regular role in the White Sox's lineup to the close the season, as he has yet to start in three opportunities since his activation.
SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Returns from 60-day IL The White Sox activated Moncada (adductor) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Impact Moncada is finally ready to return to action after being sidelined since early April with an adductor strain. He hit .342/.413/.537 with one home run over 12 games after resuming a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte late last month. Moncada should be the primary third baseman for the White Sox down the stretch.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Activation imminent Moncada (adductor) joined the White Sox on Sunday and is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 29-year-old has been sidelined since April due to an adductor strain, but he's apparently ready to rejoin the active roster after a 12-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. Moncada played in just 11 games prior to the injury, but he'll look to finish the season strong as he likely heads into free agency this offseason, since the White Sox are a strong bet to decline his $25 million club option for 2025.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Needs more time on rehab assignment Moncada (adductor) is expected to play in at least five more rehab games for Triple-A Charlotte before being activated from the 60-day injured list, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com...
Impact Moncada has been on the injured list since April while recovering from an adductor strain and a related setback that caused him to be pulled off a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break. Though he's reported no setbacks since kicking off a second rehab assignment this past Tuesday, Moncada has looked rusty in his first game action in a month and a half, going 2-for-10 with a double and two strikeouts. Based on Romero's report, the White Sox are leaning toward keeping Moncada at Charlotte throughout the week, so he shouldn't be expected to return from the 60-day injured list until the second week of September. Miguel Vargas and Lenyn Sosa will likely continue to share reps at third base until Moncada is back with the big club.

Starting rehab assignment Moncada (thigh) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Moncada started his initial rehab assignment in early July but was pulled off after just five games due to general soreness. He's now ready to give it a go again, setting up a return likely in early September if all goes well this time around. Moncada's last game with the White Sox before he suffered an adductor strain came back in early April.

Close to rehab assignment General manager Chris Getz said Friday that Moncada (thigh) will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte next week, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Impact Moncada has been on the IL since early April due to an adductor strain. He started a rehab assignment in early July, and in his five outings before being pulled July 22 due to general soreness, he went 8-for-15 with four runs scored and two RBI. How Moncada responds to his second rehab stint will indicate whether the White Sox will bring the 29-year-old third baseman back into the fold or hold him out until the 2025 season.

Impact Moncada has been on the IL since early April due to an adductor strain.

Impact Moncada was returned from his rehab assignment July 22 due to "anticipated soreness" and it wasn't viewed as a setback in his recovery from a left adductor strain. However, the third baseman hasn't shown any significant signs of improvement and is still dealing with lingering soreness. The White Sox have already indicated they don't intend to rush Moncada back and a timeline for return has yet to be established for the 29-year-old.

Pulled off rehab due to soreness The White Sox halted Moncada's (adductor) minor-league rehab assignment Monday due to what manager Pedro Grifol referred to as "anticipated soreness," LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tr...
Impact Grifol suggested that Moncada isn't dealing with a setback in his recovery from a left adductor strain, but the infielder's rehab program has been paused for the time being while he's not feeling fully comfortable. On the shelf since early April with the injury, Moncada started up his rehab assignment July 9 in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, going 8-for-15 with one double in five contests. Moncada will be re-evaluated before the White Sox determine when he might be ready for game action in the minors.
JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Pulled off rehab due to soreness Moncada (adductor) has been pulled off his rehab assignment due to soreness, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact White Sox manager Pedro Grifol referred to the soreness as "anticipated" and added that "there's nothing where we feel he's taken a step back." Moncada will be re-evaluated before it's determined when he might be ready to be sent out for games again. Out since early April with an adductor strain, Moncada had gone 8-for-15 with one double in five rehab contests with the White Sox' Arizona Complex League affiliate.
JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Won't be rushed back The White Sox are being cautious in their plans for Moncada's (thigh) return, MLB.com reports.
Impact Moncada has gone 8-for-15 across five games with the Arizona Complex League club but has had mixed results in terms of his recovery, per manager Pedro Grifol. The team has consistently stated they will be cautious with Moncada, so he could engage in a lengthy rehab assignment.
JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Starting rehab assignment Moncada (adductor) will begin a rehab assignment with the White Sox' Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact It will be his first game action in three months, as Moncada has been slowly working his way back from an adductor strain. Given the long layoff, he will surely require several rehab games before returning to Chicago's active roster. A return before the end of the month for Moncada should be doable.
JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Starting rehab assignment soon Moncada will begin a rehab assignment with the White Sox's Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday and could rejoin the MLB club by the end of July, Scott Merkin of MLB.com report...
Impact Moncada will exclusively DH to start out his minor-league rehab stint, which serves as his first in-game action since suffering an adductor strain in early April. The veteran third baseman still has multiple checkpoints to clear before being reinstated, but he could be back before the calendar flips to August.

Should return around All-Star break White Sox GM Chris Getz said Tuesday that Moncada (adductor) is expected to return around the All-Star break, which runs July 15-18, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
Impact The 29-year-old suffered the adductor strain in early May and was given an initial return timeline of 3-to-6 months, and it appears he's on track to be back at the front of that window. Jimenez will likely require at least a handful of games in the minors to get back up to speed before being activated.

Suffers adductor strain Moncada was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians with a left adductor strain.
Impact Moncada suffered the injury running out a grounder during the second inning and appeared to be in significant pain before being helped off the field. The 28-year-old was reported to be playing through minor groin/hip soreness of late, which seems likely to be the cause of Tuesday's injury.
