Moncada's throwing has been limited thus far in camp due to arm soreness, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
While it would certainly be preferable for Moncada to show up to camp without an injury, the White Sox don't seem overly concerned about this particular issue, framing it as simply an effort to err on the side of caution as it's still February. Moncada should have plenty of time to get up to speed by the start of the regular season unless the arm issue develops into something more serious.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The long ball was his first since Aug. 17. Moncada has been open about his struggles with the lingering effects of having COVID-19 in July, but he told James Fegan of The Athletic that "it's improving" and that his energy level has been up the last two weeks.

Moncada is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Yolmer Sanchez will take over at third base and bat ninth against right-hander Michael Lorenzen. Moncada had a triple in Saturday's game, ending a five-game hitless slide. The 25-year-old has a .192/.306/.269 line in the month of September; it seems he's still not feeling back to full strength after his bout with COVID-19 earlier this year.

Moncada went 3-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Sunday's 5-2 win over Detroit.

Moncada returned to the lineup and went 1-for-6 with a run scored in Saturday's 14-0 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada was given a two-day break (the team's off-day Thursday and a rest day Friday) before returning to the lineup Saturday. Moncada has indicated feeling a lack of energy at times this season due to a bout with COVID-19, and the White Sox don't have any more scheduled days off through the end of the season.

Moncada went 2-for-5 with a run scored and one RBI in the White Sox' 8-1 victory against the Pirates on Wednesday night.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada came into the contest in a 3-for-21 slump. After a hot start to the season, he has hit a meek .239 in the White Sox last 30 games. He ranks in the bottom fifth of the league for exit velocity, expected batting average and strikeout percentage.

Moncada went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada was given a two-day break, having sat out Sunday before Monday's off-day. He recently acknowledged a lack of energy as the result of a bout with COVID-19 earlier this summer, which could be a contributing factor to his slash of .243/.335/.397, down nearly 200 points in OPS from his breakout 2019 campaign.

Moncada is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada recently revealed that he "hasn't felt the same" since his battle with COVID-19 in July, saying he's still experiencing a "lack of energy, strength." The numbers certainly bear that out, and it would not be a surprise to see the White Sox sit him here or there down the stretch in an attempt to rejuvenate Moncada. Yolmer Sanchez starts at third base in his absence.

Moncada said that his body "hasn't felt the same" since having COVID-19 in mid-July, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada was able to produce a negative test ahead of Opening Day, but continues to feel the effects of contracting the virus, saying he feels a "lack of energy, strength." The third-baseman, who is also continuing to deal with leg soreness, is hitting .248/.338/.421 on the campaign. While those numbers are nothing to scoff at, it's worth noting that the post-virus effects could be part of the reason that he's seen a drop-off in production from last season.
