Moncada went 3-for-5 with an RBI triple, a three-RBI double and a run scored in Friday's 9-7 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada's first hit of the night was a single before his third-inning triple and fourth-inning double. The 24-year-old had two chances at a cycle, but couldn't get a homer off the Mariners' bullpen. Moncada now has multiple hits in seven of his last nine games, batting 17-for-35 (.486) with seven RBI and 10 runs scored in that span. For the year, he boasts a .305/.362/.536 line with 23 homers, 72 RBI and 73 runs scored in a breakout campaign.

Moncada went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
This was Moncada's fifth multi-hit game in the last seven, and it pushed his average above .300 again. He's gone 14-for-30 with just four strikeouts during his multi-hit barrage. Last season's MLB leader in strikeouts has cut down his propensity to whiff in 2019, going from 33.4 to 27.4 K%.

Moncada batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada moved to the top of the order with Tim Anderson getting the day off. Anderson had been batting leadoff while Leury Garcia (personal) was away from the team. Normalcy should return Tuesday when Garcia is due back. For Moncada, normalcy means hitting cleanup, where he'd batted 15 straight games prior to Garcia's three-game hiatus.

Moncada went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Angels.

Moncada had three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada, who has walked five times over the last two games, has been more aggressive at the plate in 2019, seeking out pitches he can drive even when they might be a little outside the zone. The result has been Moncada's best season to date and a slightly reduced walk rate. The strikeouts remain high -- he whiffed in his lone official at-bat Tuesday -- but the White Sox are reaping the benefits from his dangerous bat more often.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 8-2 loss.
EDGE Analysis
Though he was able to end his three-game hitless streak with a single to deep right in the fourth inning, Moncada otherwise endured another tough night, striking out in his other three plate appearances. He's now struck out at least twice in four of his past five games, a disappointing development after he mashed four extra-base hits in his first two contests upon returning from the injured list last week. Manager Rick Renteria appears content to let Moncada work through his struggles, as the third baseman will remain in the cleanup spot for Thursday's series finale.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run homer in Friday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Missing nearly a month with a hamstring strain hasn't cooled down Moncada's bat at all -- he's bashed four extra-base hits in two games since his return, going deep twice. On the year, the 24-year-old has had his long-awaited breakout, slashing .305/.361/.555 with 22 homers and 63 RBI.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Thursday's win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
In his return from the injured list due to a hamstring injury, Moncada batted cleanup and hit his 21st homer of the season, this time off Ariel Jurado in the third inning. The 24-year-old, who was out since July 31 with a strained right hamstring, also doubled in the fifth. Over 98 games this season, Moncada is slugging .303/.359/.545 with 22 doubles and 61 RBI.

Moncada (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Thursday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Moncada is set to make his return for this four-game home series against Texas. He has been sidelined since July 30 with the hamstring injury. Moncada hit .409 with two home runs in five games during a rehab assignment. Ryan Goins will presumably move to a bench role.
