Moncada has been playing though what manager Rick Renteria describes as leg soreness and fatigue, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada recently sat out a game due to the leg issue and is 1-for-15 in his last four games. Renteria is asking the third baseman "to be very controlled when he's moving out there." This could be a residual effect of Moncada's late start to summer camp due to the coronavirus.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada just needed one day off to relieve some minor aches and pains in his leg. He is back in the starting lineup for the second game of the Crosstown Classic after reaching base three times in his most recent start against the Tigers on Thursday.

Moncada's day off Friday is due to leg soreness, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It sounds like nothing worse than normal wear and tear for the young third baseman, who will be available off the bench. He's expected to return to the lineup Saturday. Ryan Goins starts against the Cubs at Wrigley Field in his absence.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Sunday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

He missed one game with general soreness on Wednesday but appears to be back on track after hitting his fourth home run of the season. Overall, Moncada is hitting .259/.326/.457 in 89 plate appearances to go along with nine runs scored and 11 RBI.

Moncada (undisclosed) is back in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada missed Wednesday's game against the Tigers while dealing with general soreness, but he'll be healthy enough to take part in the first game of Saturday's twin bill. He'll bat second during the afternoon contest.

Moncada (undisclosed) won't start in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada has been nursing general soreness for about a week, so manager Rick Renteria has elected to give the 25-year-old his second breather of the season with the White Sox and Tigers wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game. Ryan Goins will man third base in Moncada's stead and bat ninth in the Chicago lineup. Moncada should be back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals, assuming that series isn't postponed due to several St. Louis players and staff members having tested positive for COVID-19 within the past two weeks.

Moncada may not be in the lineup Wednesday since he's been battling soreness for about a week, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old has started the past 15 games at third base and went 0-for-5 Tuesday, ending a modest eight-game hit streak. It doesn't appear to be a serious concern, so Moncada shouldn't be out long, assuming he's held out of Wednesday's starting nine.

Moncada batted leadoff for the first time this season in Saturday's 7-1 loss to Cleveland. He went 1-for-5 with a solo home run.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada has been entrenched at the second spot in the batting order -- that's where he primarily hit during his breakout 2019 season -- and no reason was given for him replacing Luis Robert, who hit well at leadoff the previous seven games. The home run was Moncada's third and extended his hitting streak to six games. He's hit safely in 11 of 14 games.
