Fri Jan 2614:53Yoan Moncada Feeling Healthy Ahead Of Spring Training
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada is feeling healthy and motivated as spring training nears. The veteran dealt with knee and back issues in the 2022 and 2023 seasons as he appeared in just 92 games in 2023 after appearing in just 104 games in the 2022 campaign. "I'm motivated and excited because I'm healthy. That's the only thing I want. If I'm healthy, I know I can do a lot of good things in the field. I'm excited right now to get to spring training and start working," he told the media at White Sox FanFest. The 28-year-old hit .260 with 11 home runs and one stolen bases across 357 plate appearances last season after hitting just .212 with 12 HR and two SB in 433 trips to the plate in 2022. His 2019 career year saw him hit .315 with 25 HR and 10 SB across 132 games played.

Sun Sep 10 202311:22Yoan Moncada Sitting From Sunday’s Lineup
Chicago White Sox infielder Yoan Moncada (knee) is missing from Sunday's lineup against the Detroit Tigers. The 28-year-old was forced Saturday's game after re-aggravating his right knee injury during a swing. Moncada should be considered day-to-day with his next day to return coming on Monday for the series opener versus the Kansas City Royals. The switch-hitter has hit well over the last month, batting .348 (32-for-92) with five home runs, eight doubles, and 18 RBI since Aug. 9. Lenyn Sosa will hit ninth and defend the hot corner on Sunday.

Sat Sep 9 202322:56Yoan Moncada Dealing With Sore Right Knee
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (knee) aggravated his right knee injury on a swing during Saturday's loss to the Detroit Tigers. He went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts during Saturday's 3-1 loss to Detroit. The 28-year-old was seen icing his knee in postgame. It's unclear when Moncada initially hurt his knee and is considered day-to-day. Moncada is slashing .260/.304/.412 with eight home runs, 34 RBI, 28 runs, and one stolen base over 77 games in 2023. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Sunday to see if Moncada is active for the series finale versus the Tigers before inserting him into their lineups.

Sat Aug 26 202323:29Yoan Moncada Cranks A Three-Run Homer Saturday
Chicago White Sox infielder Yoan Moncada went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk as his team beat the Oakland A's 6-2 Saturday. Moncada's home run was a 409-foot blast and he now has five home runs this season. Battling injuries, he's only played in 66 games posting a slash line of .233/.277/.363 while driving in 26 runs in 240 trips to the plate. Since coming off the injured list a month ago, the 28-year-old has launched two dingers.

Tue Jul 25 202320:35White Sox Activate Yoan Moncada From Injured List
The Chicago White Sox activated third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned catcher Carlos Perez to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. The team also outrighted right-hander Bryan Shaw to Charlotte. Moncada immediately returned to third base and was hitting fifth in the batting order on Tuesday against Chicago Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks. The 28-year-old is back after missing six weeks with a back injury. It's hard for fantasy managers to get very excited about Moncada, as he's in the midst of another disappointing season thanks to two separate lengthy trips to the IL. In just 38 games, he's slashing .232/.279/.370 with three homers, eight doubles, a triple, 13 RBI and 17 runs scored in 147 plate appearances. Moncada's return is likely bad news for Jake Burger, although Burger shifted over to second base on Tuesday.

Fri Jul 14 202322:00Yoan Moncada Starts Rehab Assignment
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) started his minor-league rehab assignment on Friday with Triple-A Charlotte. Moncada hasn't played much this year due to injuries and was last seen on a major-league field on June 13, so expect him to have a rather lengthy rehab assignment before returning to the White Sox. The 28-year-old Cuban switch-hitter also wasn't thriving at the plate before his injury, slashing .232/.279/.370 with three home runs, eight doubles, a triple, 13 RBI and 17 runs scored in 147 plate appearances over 38 games. Jake Burger, who has mostly benefitted from playing time at third with Moncada sidelined, has 19 long balls, but he's also hitting .220 (53-for-241) with 88 K's in 263 plate appearances.

Tue Jul 4 202318:42Yoan Moncada To Begin Rehab Assignment After All-Star Break
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment after the All-Star break. The switch-hitter has been sidelined since mid-June due to inflammation in his lower back. It sounds like Moncada has been slowly working his way back, but appears ready to get back into game action. He was slashing .232/.279/.370 with three homers, 13 RBI before landing on the injured list. The hope is that he'll be able to return in late-July.

Sun Jul 2 202309:10Yoan Moncada Improving, Not Ready To Swing
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) is doing running and fielding work, but isn't quite ready to take swings, per manager Pedro Grifol. The 28-year-old was put on the injured list with lower-back pain on June 15 for the second time this season, so it's been a lingering concern. Moncada is hitting just .232 with a .649 OPS, three home runs, 13 RBI, and one stolen base over 138 at-bats this season. With the switch-hitter expected out through July, Moncada does not portray a very strong redraft-league fantasy stash in shallow formats.

Thu Jun 15 202316:04Yoan Moncada Heading To Injured List
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) is heading to the injured list on Thursday, and the team is recalling infielder Zach Remillard from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move, according to a source. Moncada sat out the win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday with a back injury that has bothered him since spring training, and now he'll miss more time after going 7-for-50 (.140) with one homer in his last 15 games. He was also on the IL from April 10 to May 12 with a protruding disc in his back, so it's more bad news that the injury hasn't gone away. Jake Burger played third base Wednesday and hit two home runs. He now has 15 long balls on the year and has been much more productive than the disappointing Moncada in 2023.

Wed Jun 14 202321:31Yoan Moncada Could Need Injured-List Stint
Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said that he's unsure if third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) will require a trip to the injured list. Moncada is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to a recurring back issue, so the White Sox may give him some extended time off to recover. It could be a big reason for his struggles at the plate in 2023 as well, as the 28-year-old Cuban switch-hitter is batting a disappointing .232 (32-for-138) with eight doubles, a triple, three home runs, 13 RBI and a weak .279 on-base percentage in 147 plate appearances and 38 games. Jake Burger is at third base and is hitting fifth on Wednesday against Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Moncada has only five hits in 36 at-bats in June with a homer and 10 K's in 10 games.

Wed May 31 202309:45Yoan Moncada Dealing With Discomfort
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada experienced some discomfort during his last at-bat of Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels, according to James Fegan of The Athletic. The 28-year-old missed over a month of action with a back issue earlier this year but returned to action on May 12. It isn't clear if this problem is related, but fantasy managers should check back in for more updates. Moncada's in the midst of a bounce-back season, slashing .263/.318/.414 with two home runs, 13 runs, 12 RBI, and one steal over 27 games. It's still a far cry from his 2019 breakout year, but fantasy managers will take that production after he hit .212 with a .626 OPS last season.

Mon May 29 202318:57Yoan Moncada Back In The Starting Lineup Monday
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada is back in the starting lineup Monday when the club opens up a series against Griffin Canning and the visiting Los Angeles Angels. Moncada didn't start Sunday's series finale in Detroit but did go hitless in his lone plate appearance later in the contest. The former top prospect is having a nice season, hitting .288 with two homers, seven doubles, one triple, and a .764 OPS across 99 plate appearances on the campaign. Jake Burger's excellence has made it tough for Moncada to start every day but he will indeed start and hit fifth Monday night while Andrew Vaughn checks in as the club's designated hitter, batting sixth.

Fri May 12 202318:25Yoan Moncada Activated, Starting On Friday
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. The switch-hitting slugger returns after missing the last month due to a lingering back issue. Moncada appears ready to return after hitting .308 with two home runs and five RBI in nine games with Triple-A Charlotte. He'll bat cleanup and play third base versus right-hander J.P. France on Friday. Fantasy managers who have Moncada rostered should check their lineups and get him back in there.

Thu May 11 202312:50Yoan Moncada Expected To Return Friday
The Athletic's James Fegan expects Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) to return from the injured list on Friday. Moncada has been out since mid-April with a back injury, but he should resume starting duties at the hot corner for the White Sox once he's back this weekend. The Pale Hose should also get third baseman Jake Burger (oblique) back from the 10-day injured list later this weekend. Hanser Alberto has been seeing most of the playing time at third with both Moncada and Burger on the shelf. The 27-year-old Moncada can't seem to stay healthy, but his fantasy managers will be hoping he can pick up where he left off before his injury. The Cuban slugger was hitting .308 (12-for-39) with four doubles, two home runs and five RBI in just nine games.

Mon May 8 202312:12Yoan Moncada Homers In Rehab Game Sunday
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) went 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, three runs scored and a walk in a minor-league rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday, but the best guess is that he won't return from the 10-day injured list until this weekend. Manager Pedro Grifol wouldn't rule out Moncada being activated on Monday, but now it's looking more like the White Sox will wait and give the 27-year-old some more at-bats in the minors. He's gone 5-for-9 with a home run in his first three rehab games, so hopefully Moncada will return in good form for his fantasy managers. Before going on the shelf, Moncada was hitting a strong .308 (12-for-39) with four doubles, two home runs and five RBI in nine games played.

Fri May 5 202314:52Yoan Moncada Cleared For Rehab Assignment
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) has been cleared for a minor league rehab assignment. The switch-hitter has been sidelined a few weeks due to a lower back injury. However, it appears he's ready to join Triple-A Charlotte and get back into action. The expectation is that he'll play a few games in the minors before rejoining the MLB roster. Fantasy managers should expect Moncada to be back on the White Sox roster at some point next week.

Thu Apr 27 202318:56Yoan Moncada Not Ready For Rehab Assignment
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) is not expected to start a rehab assignment during the team's current homestand. Moncada has a protruding disc that is touching a nerve, causing pain to run into his glutes. The good news is that it is improving and shouldn't need surgery to fix, according to general manager Rick Hahn. While there is still no timetable for his return, if he's able to start his rehab assignment next week, he could be back in mid-May.

Wed Apr 19 202312:20Yoan Moncada Not Expected Back This Weekend
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) is not expected to return this weekend from the injured list. Before he comes back, he'll likely need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, according to manager Pedro Grifol. The White Sox want to make sure the oft-injured 27-year-old is fully healthy before they activate him and re-enter him into the starting lineup. Fantasy managers could use him back, though, as he was hitting .308 (12-for-39) with four doubles, two home runs and five RBI in nine games before his injury. Hopefully he can pick up where he left off when he returns. In the meantime, Jake Burger has been swinging the bat well with increased playing time at the hot corner in Chicago.

Fri Apr 14 202316:05Eloy Jimenez Activated, Yoan Moncada Put On 10-Day IL
The Chicago White Sox officially reinstated outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and placed third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) on the 10-day IL (retroactive to April 11) with lower back soreness in a corresponding move. The team also recalled left-hander Tanner Banks from Triple-A Charlotte, optioned right-hander Jesse Scholtens to Charlotte, claimed infielder/outfielder Nick Solak off waivers from the Seattle Mariners and optioned him to Charlotte and moved righty Matt Foster (forearm) to the 60-day IL. Jimenez wasn't hitting very well in a small sample size before his injury, but he's hitting cleanup on Friday in his return to the lineup and needs to be rostered in all fantasy leagues. With Moncada out, expect Hanser Alberto and ... [More]

Fri Apr 14 202312:16Yoan Moncada Could Go On Injured List
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) isn't expected to return to the lineup on Friday now after missing the series against the Minnesota Twins this week, and he could land on the injured list this weekend. The 27-year-old's back injury didn't appear to be too serious earlier in the week, but apparently the oft-injured third baseman hasn't made much progress. It's a shame, too, as he had gone 12-for-39 (.308) with four doubles, two home runs, five RBI and four runs scored in his first nine games of 2023. Hopefully it's a short IL stay if Moncada goes on the shelf. In his absence, the White Sox have been using both Hanser Alberto and Jake Burger at the hot corner.
