Yoán Moncada - Page 30 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Likely to return Monday Manager Rick Renteria suggested that Moncada (upper leg) may return to the lineup in Monday's series opener versus the Twins, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Moncada was out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, though Renteria indicated that the 25-year-old would be available off the bench. In any case, the left leg injury that Moncada aggravated Saturday doesn't look to be a major concern, though fantasy managers may still want to confirm that he's in the lineup Monday before deploying him in weekly leagues.

Not playing Sunday Moncada (upper leg) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact Danny Mendick will step in at third base for Moncada, who was removed from Saturday's 9-6 loss with the upper-leg injury. Moncada has been playing through the injury for a few weeks, but the White Sox are seemingly viewing him as day-to-day, hoping that a day off or two will help resolve the matter.

Aggravates leg injury Moncada was removed from Saturday's loss to the Royals after aggravating an injury to his left leg, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Manager Rick Renteria said the injury is in the region of the hamstring, though he indicated it's not actually a hamstring issue. Moncada has been battling through the injury for the past couple weeks and should be considered day-to-day.

Knocks two doubles Moncada went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-3 win over Pittsburgh.

Pushing through leg soreness Moncada has been playing though what manager Rick Renteria describes as leg soreness and fatigue, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Moncada recently sat out a game due to the leg issue and is 1-for-15 in his last four games. Renteria is asking the third baseman "to be very controlled when he's moving out there." This could be a residual effect of Moncada's late start to summer camp due to the coronavirus.

Returning to lineup Moncada (leg) is back in the starting lineup against the Cubs on Saturday after receiving Friday off due to leg soreness.

Impact It sounds like nothing worse than normal wear and tear for the young third baseman, who will be available off the bench. He's expected to return to the lineup Saturday. Ryan Goins starts against the Cubs at Wrigley Field in his absence.

Cranks three-run homer Moncada went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Sunday against the Cardinals.

Impact Moncada was part of a home-run barrage in the fifth inning, as he began a stretch of four consecutive long balls for the White Sox. He missed one game with general soreness on Wednesday but appears to be back on track after hitting his fourth home run of the season. Overall, Moncada is hitting .259/.326/.457 in 89 plate appearances to go along with nine runs scored and 11 RBI.

Returns to lineup Moncada (undisclosed) is back in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Impact Moncada missed Wednesday's game against the Tigers while dealing with general soreness, but he'll be healthy enough to take part in the first game of Saturday's twin bill. He'll bat second during the afternoon contest.

AUGUST 15, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Wednesday Moncada (undisclosed) won't start in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Moncada has been nursing general soreness for about a week, so manager Rick Renteria has elected to give the 25-year-old his second breather of the season with the White Sox and Tigers wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game. Ryan Goins will man third base in Moncada's stead and bat ninth in the Chicago lineup. Moncada should be back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals, assuming that series isn't postponed due to several St. Louis players and staff members having tested positive for COVID-19 within the past two weeks.

AUGUST 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Managing soreness Moncada may not be in the lineup Wednesday since he's been battling soreness for about a week, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 25-year-old has started the past 15 games at third base and went 0-for-5 Tuesday, ending a modest eight-game hit streak. It doesn't appear to be a serious concern, so Moncada shouldn't be out long, assuming he's held out of Wednesday's starting nine.

AUGUST 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Bats leadoff Saturday Moncada batted leadoff for the first time this season in Saturday's 7-1 loss to Cleveland. He went 1-for-5 with a solo home run.

Impact Moncada has been entrenched at the second spot in the batting order -- that's where he primarily hit during his breakout 2019 season -- and no reason was given for him replacing Luis Robert, who hit well at leadoff the previous seven games. The home run was Moncada's third and extended his hitting streak to six games. He's hit safely in 11 of 14 games.
