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 ...

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 ...

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back), who didn't play on Monday due to a sore back, is unlikely to return for the series against the Minnesota Twins this week. The White Sox conclude their series against Minnesota on Wednesday and then have an off day on Friday, so hopefully Moncada will be good to go on Friday. Hanser Alberto got the start at the hot corner in Moncada's absence on Monday, and he and Jake Burger could split playing time at the position until Moncada is ready to...

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) is being listed as day-to-day with back soreness. It's why he didn't start in Monday's series opener against the Minnesota Twins. With Moncada out Monday, Hanser Alberto got the start at the hot corner for the White Sox. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Moncada can return to action on Tuesday, as he's hitting .308 (12-for-39) with four doubles, two home runs, five RBI and four runs scored in his first nine games of the season. The ...

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (foot) is back in the starting lineup on Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and left-hander Rich Hill. Moncada is at third base and is batting cleanup in his return. He didn't play on Thursday after fouling a ball off his foot in Wednesday's contest, but the injury obviously wasn't very serious. Fantasy managers will want to get the 27-year-old back into their starting lineups on Friday. After an extremely disappointing 2022 campaign that was ...

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the San Francisco Giants in the matinee game. It's just a normal day of rest for Moncada, who has been excellent for his fantasy managers to start the season. In his first six games played, he's gone 11-for-25 (.440) with four doubles, two home runs, three runs scored, five RBI, one walk and eight strikeouts in 26 plate appearances. If the 27-year-old can stay healthy all year, a big bounce-back season ...

Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said that third baseman Yoan Moncada is good to go to play on Opening Day on Thursday against the Houston Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez. Moncada has been dealing with lower-back stiffness, but he got through a workout on Wednesday with no issues and will be in the lineup on Thursday to kick off the 2023 regular season. Like most of Chicago's players in 2022, the 27-year-old switch-hitting third baseman just wasn't able to get into any kind of...

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) has been removed early during Sunday's Cactus League matchup against the Colorado Rockies. It sounds like the switch-hitting infielder was removed was a precaution due to lower back stiffness. This doesn't sound like an issue that is going to force Moncada to be placed on the injured list. The hope is that he'll be fine for Opening Day. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on his status.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson and third baseman Yoan Moncada (rib) are expected to return to the team's Cactus League lineup on Friday after playing for Team USA and Team Cuba, respectively, in the World Baseball Classic. Moncada collided with his teammate in the outfield in the semifinal game against Team USA on Sunday, but he avoided a concussion and will be fine for Opening Day on March 30. Chicago's left side of the infield will need to stay healthy all year so that the team can...

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (rib) is being listed as day-to-day with a bruised rib that he suffered in an outfield collision while playing for Team Cuba in the World Baseball Classic against Team USA. Moncada avoided a concussion after colliding with teammate Luis Robert Jr. on Sunday evening. Both Moncada and Robert are expected to fly back on Tuesday and be in camp with the White Sox on Wednesday. It remains to be seen when the 27-year-old will get back into a game in the ...
