Moncada (shin) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada was scratched from Saturday's lineup with shin splints, and while there has been no update on his status, the issue is apparently still bothersome enough to keep him out another contest. He remains day-to-day; Yolmer Sanchez is again filling in for him at the keystone.

Moncada was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup with shin splints in his right shin.

EDGE Analysis

For now, Moncada should be considered day-to-day. He is hitting .240/.377/.400 with two home runs and a 36.1 percent strikeout rate in his last 50 at-bats. Yolmer Sanchez was added to the lineup at second base, hitting ninth.

Moncada went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two walks and two runs scored Thursday in Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada took starter Tyson Ross deep in the first inning and was able to work walks in his next two plate appearances before making outs in his last two. The 22-year-old second baseman had been slashing a solid .282/.377/.477 in 80 games at Triple-A Charlotte, but he's been unable to carry that success over against major-league pitching. Even after this performance, he owns an unimpressive .190/.333/.357 line through 25 games with Chicago.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 14-6 loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

The hit was just the fourth of the season against a left-hander for the switch-hitting Moncada, who is batting .148 with nine strikeouts over 27 at-bats against southpaws. He told Brian Sandolow of the Chicago Sun-Times that he feels "good batting right-handed" but hasn't had the chance to face many lefties since being called up. More so than batting right-handed, Moncada's problems at the plate revolve around off-speed pitches. Opposing pitchers know he can hit a fastball, but the rookie is unlikely to see many until he shows he can lay off the junk.

Moncada went 2-for-5 with a homer, a walk and two RBI in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada was twice the hero in this one. His second long ball of the season erased a one-run deficit with one out in the ninth inning, setting the second baseman up for his walkoff single two innings later. He's slashing just .213/.377/.377, so this performance will likely be the highlight of Moncada's season.

Moncada finished up the four-game set against the Red Sox, going 5-for-17 with three walks, but continues to have issue with offspeed offerings, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada showed some improvement over the weekend, but is an unimpressive 9-for-52 (.173) overall with 21 strikeouts, a 33 percent strikeout rate. '"The swings-and-misses on both sides of the plate have been in breaking-ball counts," manager Rick Renteria said. '"Exponentially, he will grow to understand those. My hope is by the time we finish September, you will see an approach to those pitches because he's seeing them more." Moncada acknowledged the difference between Triple-A pitchers and hurlers in the majors, who have an approach for each at-bat.

Moncada went 0-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-5 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada was back in the lineup after missing two games due to a right knee contusion, playing against his former team for the first time. The rookie, who batted cleanup for the third time in the last five games, has gone 10 straight at-bats without a hit while striking out six times.

Moncada (knee) is batting cleanup and starting at second base Thursday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The top prospect is good to go after missing a pair of games due to a knee contusion he suffered in Monday's contest against the Blue Jays. Moncada, who is slashing just .105/.261/.263 in 12 games for the White Sox this season, will look to get things going as he faces Rick Porcello in his return to the lineup.

Moncada (knee) was held out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada suffered a right knee contusion during Monday's contest with Toronto, in a play that looked far worse than the diagnosis revealed. Manager Rick Renteria will take precautionary measures with the club's top prospect, allowing him to rest and recover for another day. Moncada stated that he expected to miss two or three games prior to Tuesday's affair, per Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago, so it appears as though the second baseman could return to the lineup for Thursday's series opener against the Red Sox.

Moncada (knee) said he expects to miss two to three days with his right knee contusion, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports, though manager Rick Renteria said he could play as early as Wednesday, Hayes also reports.

EDGE Analysis

Players tend to underestimate the time they need to recover, though that doesn't seem to be the case in this instance. The White Sox could choose to err on the side of caution and hold him out a little longer, but either way this is encouraging news, as it seems the knee contusion he is dealing with won't keep him sidelined for very long at all. Yolmer Sanchez will continue to fill in at second base during Moncada's absence.
