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.

Manager Rick Renteria said he's "optimistic" Moncada (upper leg) will be able to rejoin the lineup Wednesday at Minnesota, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old aggravated the upper leg injury during Saturday's game and has been held out of the lineup the past three games. Renteria previously indicated Moncada could return to the lineup for Monday's contest, so it's hardly a sure thing he'll be back in action Wednesday. Danny Mendick and Yolmer Sanchez have received starts at third base during his absence.

Moncada (upper leg) will sit again Tuesday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Rick Renteria indicated Sunday that Moncada could be back in the lineup as soon as Monday, but that was clearly overly optimistic. Yolmer Sanchez will be the third baseman in his absence.

Moncada (upper leg) remains on the bench for Monday's game in Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada left Saturday's game against the Royals after aggravating an upper-leg issue and did not take part in Sunday's contest. Manager Rick Renteria had indicated previously that Moncada could be back Monday, but he evidently needs at least one more day to rest. Danny Mendick will start at the hot corner in his absence.

Manager Rick Renteria suggested that Moncada (upper leg) may return to the lineup in Monday's series opener versus the Twins, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada was out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, though Renteria indicated that the 25-year-old would be available off the bench. In any case, the left leg injury that Moncada aggravated Saturday doesn't look to be a major concern, though fantasy managers may still want to confirm that he's in the lineup Monday before deploying him in weekly leagues.

Moncada (upper leg) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Danny Mendick will step in at third base for Moncada, who was removed from Saturday's 9-6 loss with the upper-leg injury. Moncada has been playing through the injury for a few weeks, but the White Sox are seemingly viewing him as day-to-day, hoping that a day off or two will help resolve the matter.

Moncada was removed from Saturday's loss to the Royals after aggravating an injury to his left leg, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Rick Renteria said the injury is in the region of the hamstring, though he indicated it's not actually a hamstring issue. Moncada has been battling through the injury for the past couple weeks and should be considered day-to-day.

Moncada came out of the game with one out in the ninth after sliding awkwardly into second base, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada hit a dribbler that Ian Kennedy tried to handle but ended up throwing away. Moncada made an effort to advance to second on the throwing error and was called safe but proceeded to walk off the gingerly following the play. White Sox manager Rick Renteria is expected to provide a postgame update on the injury.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-3 win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada had one hit in his previous 15 at-bats before delivering multiple two-baggers Wednesday. He's been battling through leg soreness the last week, and the life his bat showed Wednesday is a positive sign.
