Yoán Moncada - Page 24 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns to action Thursday Moncada (illness) is batting third and playing third base in Thursday's series opener against the Astros.

Impact As expected, Moncada returns to the lineup after a sinus infection sidelined him for three consecutive games. The switch-hitting third baseman was uncharacteristically cold with a .125 average in his last six games before the infection, but he's still hitting .280 on the season and, more significantly, boasts an OBP of .402.

Urquidy scheduled to start for Houston against Chicago

Expected back Thursday White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that he expects Moncada (illness) to rejoin the lineup Thursday against the Astros, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moncada will remain on the bench for a third straight game Wednesday against the Rays, though La Russa didn't rule out the possibility of the 26-year-old making a cameo off the bench as a pinch hitter. The White Sox would seemingly prefer to stay away from Moncada for another day as a precaution, but at his point, he appears to be making progress in his recovery from a sinus infection. Moncada will likely be re-evaluated early Thursday before the White Sox provide an update on his availability for the series opener in Houston.

Remains out Wednesday Moncada (illness) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Impact As expected, Moncada will remain on the bench for a third straight game while he continues to recover from a sinus infection. Leury Garcia will pick up another start at third base in place of Moncada, who will hope to return to action at some point during Chicago's four-game series in Houston that begins Thursday.

Strong play from the Cubs and White Sox setting up a special summer in Chicago

Unlikely to play Wednesday Manager Tony La Russa said Moncada (illness) isn't expected to play Wednesday against the Rays, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact He sat out Tuesday for the third time in the past four days while managing a sinus infection, and he's expected to be unavailable again for Wednesday's series finale. Leury Garcia could receive another start at third base with Moncada likely sitting out.

Battling sinus infection Moncada (illness) is out again Tuesday as he deals with a sinus infection, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Moncada will miss his third game in the last four days, and is day-to-day with the sinus infection. It's unclear when exactly he'll return to the lineup, but Leury Garcia will fill in at third base Tuesday and figures to do so until Moncada is back in action.

Not feeling well, out Monday Manager Tony La Russa said Moncada is unavailable Monday against the Rays due "a lot of discomfort" and "congestion," Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact The 26-year-old is out of the lineup for the second time in the past three days, so it's not a major surprise to hear he's not feeling well. Moncada should be considered day-to-day while battling the cold, and La Russa is optimistic the ailment will be a short-term concern. Leury Garcia will operate at third base Monday for the White Sox.
