Moncada went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 6-4 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

He blasted his second homer of the year off Corey Knebel in the ninth inning to give the White Sox an insurance run in the comeback win. Moncada has reached base in all nine games he's played to begin the season, slashing .351/.442/.595, and while the sample is very small, his 14.0 percent walk rate would be a career high, offering a very encouraging sign of skill growth for the 25-year-old.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada is off to a strong start through the season's first two games (4-for-9 with a home run, two doubles and four RBI), but he'll receive a breather Sunday. Danny Mendick will receive the start at the hot corner and bat eighth in the series finale.

Moncada went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and a double in Friday's loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada set up Chicago's initial run with a first-inning double and knotted the score in the second frame with a three-run homer off Minnesota ace Jose Berrios. Moncada missed most of summer camp after testing positive for COVID-19, but the time away appears to have done little to slow his momentum following a breakout 2019 season.

Moncada (illness) was activated from the injured list Thursday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada missed the start of summer camp after testing positive for COVID-19, but he appears on track to be ready for Friday's season opener after responding well to activity over the past week. He hit .315 with 25 homers and 10 steals in 132 games last season.

Moncada had no ill effects Tuesday after playing five innings during an exhibition game against the Cubs on Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada, who arrived at summer camp last Thursday after testing positive for COVID-19, has been working hard to get himself ready to play Opening Day. He responded well during Tuesday's workout and could bat second and play third base when the White Sox kick off the regular season at home against the Twins on Friday. The White Sox have yet to officially activate him from the COVID-19 injured list, but that merely looks to be a formality at this point.

Moncada will bat second and play third base in Monday's exhibition game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada's availability for Opening Day has been in some doubt, as he only just arrived at camp Thursday after testing positive for COVID-19. He reportedly didn't experience many symptoms and is seemingly in decent shape as he's set for game action just four days later. Whether or not he'll be ready for an everyday role beginning with the first game of the regular season Friday against the Twins remains to be seen.

White Sox manager Rick Renteria said Saturday that Moncada could make an appearance in one of three exhibition games scheduled this week, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada joined Chicago's camp Friday after testing negative for COVID-19 but has only performed strength and conditioning exercises with coaches. An appearance in Sunday night's exhibition against the Cubs may be a stretch, but Renteria said Moncada is moving well and could appear in Monday's second exhibition against the Cubs or Wednesday's against the Brewers.

Moncada told reporters that he had tested positive for COVID-19, Scot Gregor of the Daily Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada said he was largely asymptomatic as he returned to the White Sox on Thursday. He did not participate in the intrasquad game but did take batting and infield practice. The third baseman also executed strength and conditioning activity. Moncada has not played an organized baseball game in over four months, so it's unclear what type of shape he'll be in when the White Sox open the regular season next Friday.

Moncada (undisclosed) reported to camp Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada has been cleared to join the White Sox for workouts after missing the start of camp for undisclosed reasons. It's unclear how prepared for the season the 25-year-old is at this point -- especially after he described his hitting activity at home in Miami during the shutdown as "limited" -- but he'll have a full week to try and get ready for game action.

White Sox hitting coach Frank Menechino is uncertain how many at-bats Moncada (undisclosed) will need to be ready for the regular season, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada, who was placed on the injured list Friday, could be eligible to return before the regular season starts. He has not yet reported to camp and described his hitting activity at home in Miami during the shutdown as "limited." Menechino was at first reticent to estimate a number of at-bats Moncada needs once he's been activated but then offered a timeline to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. "I think 10, 15 at-bats to see where he's at. And then, probably, I'd say 20 at-bats to get him started in the right direction," Menechino said. "As far as days, I don't know what he's able to do while he's not here." If Moncada is unable to start the season, Leury Garcia or Danny Mendick could fill in at third base.
