Moncada went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada took Cal Quantrill yard in the third inning to record his fourth home run of the season. He has at least one hit in eight of 12 starts since returning from the injured list July 1, but he is still hitting just .216 with seven RBI in that span. Moncada has shown few signs of breaking out of a season-long slump, as he's maintained a .191/.236/.303 line across 161 plate appearances on the campaign.

Moncada will sit Friday against the the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
A reason for Moncada's absence has not been announced, but it's possible it's related to the bruised right foot that forced him out of Wednesday's game against the Twins. He was able to start Thursday's series opener, though he went 0-for-3 in that contest. Josh Harrison slides to third base Friday, with Leury Garcia starting at second.

Moncada (foot) is starting Thursday's game against the Tigers, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada sustained a right foot contusion during Wednesday's series finale against the Twins, but he'll start at third base and bat sixth a day later. Over his last three games, he's gone 3-for-11 with a double, two RBI and three strikeouts.

Moncada exited Wednesday's game against the Twins due to a right foot contusion, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada appeared to be walking gingerly after fouling a ball off his right foot in the fourth inning Wednesday and was ultimately replaced defensively in the top of the seventh. However, he underwent X-rays that came back negative, so he's considered day-to-day. If the 27-year-old misses additional time, Josh Harrison and Leury Garcia should see increased looks at the hot corner.

Moncada was removed in the top of the seventh inning of Wednesday's game against the Twins with an apparent foot injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. He went 1-for-3 with a base hit prior to his departure.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada is believed to have suffered the injury during his fourth-inning plate appearance, when he looked to be in discomfort after fouling a ball off his foot. He initially stayed in the contest and came to the plate once more before departing three innings later, with Josh Harrison coming off the bench to replace him during a tie game. Expect the White Sox to provide another update on Moncada's condition after the game.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Tuesday in the White Sox's 8-2 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Since being activated from the 10-day injured list a week ago, Moncada has started in each of the White Sox's subsequent seven games, going 6-for-29 (.207 average) with two doubles, five RBI, one run and a 0:11 BB:K. The 27-year-old will remain in the lineup at third base for Wednesday's series finale, though he'll move down from sixth to seventh in the batting order with Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) making his long-awaited return from the 60-day injured list.

Moncada went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada made his return from the injured list Tuesday and appeared in his 30th game of the season. He delivered a two-RBI double in the eighth inning, marking only his seventh extra-base hit across 118 plate appearances on the campaign. Moncada is hitting a disastrous .189/.237/.306, but he should improve those marks if he can remain on the field more consistently across the second half of the season.

The White Sox reinstated Moncada (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Infield prospect Lenyn Sosa was sent back to Triple-A Charlotte to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Moncada, who was sidelined for the minimum amount of time with a right hamstring strain. Moncada should recapture his everyday role at third base, but the 27-year-old has thus far been a major disappointment for those that invested in him in fantasy drafts. In addition to being limited to just 29 games thus far due to injuries, Moncada is hitting .179 with three home runs, no stolen bases, 12 RBI and eight runs across 113 plate appearances.

White Sox manager Tony La Russa said he remains hopeful Moncada (hamstring) will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday against the Angels when first eligible, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada is on the IL for the second time this season, but his strained right hamstring appears to be a much less significant concern than the strained oblique that kept him on the shelf for six weeks. The White Sox appear confident that Moncada will be able to return from the IL without requiring a minor-league rehab assignment, though whether he's activated Tuesday may hinge on how he looks during a workout Monday.

Moncada (hamstring) could return from the injured list when first eligible Tuesday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada missed over a month at the start of the season with an oblique injury and lasted less than six weeks before returning to the injured list, this time with a strained hamstring. His latest issue seems to be less significant than his first, though it remains to be seen if he will indeed make it back after the minimum 10 days.
