EDGE Analysis
Moncada was one of five White Sox hitters to go yard Thursday, and he tallied his 10th long ball of the season. He's had a few big performances since returning from the injured list Sep. 6, helping him collect 13 hits across 36 at-bats with three homers, six RBI and seven runs scored. Despite some recent signs of life at the plate, Moncada is still hitting only .215/.282/.352 across 363 plate appearances on the campaign.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada will get a breather for the first time since he returned to the lineup Tuesday following a stint on the 15-day injured list due to a hamstring strain. Josh Harrison will check in at third base in place of Moncada, who went 8-for-24 with two home runs, two walks, a double, five RBI and five runs in his first five games back in action.

Moncada went 5-for-6 with two homers, a double, three runs scored and five RBI in a 14-2 win Thursday in Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada homered off JP Sears in his first two plate appearances, singled and scored in the fourth, doubled in a run in the fifth and tacked on a single in the sixth. He had recorded only five hits in his previous eight games but reached that mark in his first five trips to the plate Thursday. It was his second five-hit performance of the season and his first two-homer game since 2019. The 27-year-old came into the game with a .582 OPS and exited with a .624 mark following the excellent evening.

Moncada (hamstring) will play Tuesday and Wednesday in Seattle, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being activated off the 10-day injured list earlier Monday, Moncada wasn't listed in the lineup for the series opener. Acting manager Miguel Cairo confirmed Moncada will be back in action for the next two games, however, signaling that he'll step back in as Chicago's everyday third baseman. Moncada is currently slashing .197/.269/.313 on the season, with his .582 OPS being his lowest mark since he joined the White Sox in 2017.

Moncada (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday. He won't start in the White Sox's series opener with the Mariners but is available off the bench, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada sustained a left hamstring strain in late August but will rejoin the active roster following a minimal IL stint. The 27-year-old hit .184 with two home runs, a triple, a double, 13 RBI and six runs over 24 games in August and should reclaim his job as the primary third baseman for the White Sox now that he's fully healthy.

Moncada (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada has been on the IL with a left hamstring strain since late August but is eligible to rejoin the White Sox as early as Monday against the Mariners. Once the 27-year-old is officially reinstated, he should reclaim his job as Chicago's primary third baseman.

Moncada was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Saturday, retroactive to Aug. 26.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada exited Thursday's matchup against the Orioles due to a hamstring issue, and the injury will ultimately sideline him for at least a week and a half. It's not yet clear when the White Sox expect him to return, but Josh Harrison and Romy Gonzalez are strong candidates to see increased playing time at third base, particularly after Leury Garcia (back) was reinstated from the injured list Saturday.

Moncada exited Thursday's game against the Orioles with tightness in his left hamstring.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada made a strong defensive play early on in the matchup, though he came up limping afterward. He managed to remain in the game for several innings but was ultimately lifted in the fifth inning. Given the number of lower-body injuries that Moncada has dealt with this season, this is a concerning development.

Moncada went 1-for-3 with two walks and a three-run home run Thursday against the Astros.

He's collected at least one hit in seven of his last eight games, maintaining a .267 average with seven RBI and three runs scored in that span. Moncada is still hitting a dreadful .202/.271/.327 across 299 plate appearances on the season.
