Moncada's absence from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins is due to the fact that his right shoulder is "barking," according to manager Tony La Russa, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada has been in a bit of a slump lately, which could potentially be related to the shoulder issue. The exact nature and severity of the injury are unclear. Leury Garcia will make at least one start at the hot corner in his absence.

Moncada will sit Tuesday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada has struggled to a .195/.333/.244 line over his last 12 games. He'll get a day to clear his head, with Leury Garcia taking over for him at third base.

Moncada (ankle) is starting Saturday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada rolled his ankle in Friday's loss to the Mariners but remained in the game. He received some treatment after the contest and will be able to remain in the lineup Saturday. The 26-year-old has gone 5-for-16 with a double, three RBI, a stolen base, five walks and three strikeouts across the last five games.

Moncada rolled his left ankle in Friday's loss to the Mariners but was able to remain in the game, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada suffered his injury when he had to duck out of the way to avoid getting hit by a pitch Friday, but he was examined by a trainer and cleared to stay in the game. He went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a walk in the 9-3 loss. The 26-year-old is receiving treatment following Friday's matchup, and he'll be examined again Saturday morning to determine his status.

Moncada said Friday that he still isn't feeling "100 percent" after returning from a sinus infection Thursday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada missed three consecutive games earlier this week before returning to the lineup Thursday. He was able to remain in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros, though he's still not feeling totally right physically. With this update in mind, it wouldn't be surprising for Tony La Russa to give the infielder another day off in the next few games.

Moncada went 0-for-3 with a walk in Thursday's 10-2 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada was back on the field after a sinus infection shelved him for three games. He had an errant throw on a first-inning grounder -- a potential double-play ball -- that contributed to Houston's three-run first inning.

Moncada (illness) is batting third and playing third base in Thursday's series opener against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Moncada returns to the lineup after a sinus infection sidelined him for three consecutive games. The switch-hitting third baseman was uncharacteristically cold with a .125 average in his last six games before the infection, but he's still hitting .280 on the season and, more significantly, boasts an OBP of .402.

White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that he expects Moncada (illness) to rejoin the lineup Thursday against the Astros, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada will remain on the bench for a third straight game Wednesday against the Rays, though La Russa didn't rule out the possibility of the 26-year-old making a cameo off the bench as a pinch hitter. The White Sox would seemingly prefer to stay away from Moncada for another day as a precaution, but at his point, he appears to be making progress in his recovery from a sinus infection. Moncada will likely be re-evaluated early Thursday before the White Sox provide an update on his availability for the series opener in Houston.

Moncada (illness) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Moncada will remain on the bench for a third straight game while he continues to recover from a sinus infection. Leury Garcia will pick up another start at third base in place of Moncada, who will hope to return to action at some point during Chicago's four-game series in Houston that begins Thursday.

Manager Tony La Russa said Moncada (illness) isn't expected to play Wednesday against the Rays, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

He sat out Tuesday for the third time in the past four days while managing a sinus infection, and he's expected to be unavailable again for Wednesday's series finale. Leury Garcia could receive another start at third base with Moncada likely sitting out.
