Moncada (adductor) has been pulled off his rehab assignment due to soreness, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
White Sox manager Pedro Grifol referred to the soreness as "anticipated" and added that "there's nothing where we feel he's taken a step back." Moncada will be re-evaluated before it's determined when he might be ready to be sent out for games again. Out since early April with an adductor strain, Moncada had gone 8-for-15 with one double in five rehab contests with the White Sox' Arizona Complex League affiliate.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada (adductor) will begin a rehab assignment with the White Sox' Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
It will be his first game action in three months, as Moncada has been slowly working his way back from an adductor strain. Given the long layoff, he will surely require several rehab games before returning to Chicago's active roster. A return before the end of the month for Moncada should be doable.

Moncada will begin a rehab assignment with the White Sox's Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday and could rejoin the MLB club by the end of July, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada will exclusively DH to start out his minor-league rehab stint, which serves as his first in-game action since suffering an adductor strain in early April. The veteran third baseman still has multiple checkpoints to clear before being reinstated, but he could be back before the calendar flips to August.

White Sox GM Chris Getz said Tuesday that Moncada (adductor) is expected to return around the All-Star break, which runs July 15-18, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old suffered the adductor strain in early May and was given an initial return timeline of 3-to-6 months, and it appears he's on track to be back at the front of that window. Jimenez will likely require at least a handful of games in the minors to get back up to speed before being activated.

Moncada (thigh) has resumed baseball activity for roughly the last week, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada has been swinging from the right side since early May, and he swung left-handed for the first time Monday. He's also been doing some fielding drills and is recovering well from the activity. It's projected that Moncada won't be back until after the All-Star break, though it's possible he will beat that timeline if he continues to have positive results while ramping up.

Moncada (adductor) plans to head to extended spring training in the coming days to continue his rehab, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada is just over a week removed from suffering a left adductor strain but is already feeling much better. The process will be deliberate, though, as he's on the 60-day injured list and isn't expected to return to action until around the All-Star break.

White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Friday that the club is optimistic Moncada (adductor) can return sometime after the All-Star break, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada was given an initial timetable of 3-to-6 months to return from an adductor strain, and it sounds like he'll have a shot to make it back closer to the early side of that timeline. The third baseman was shifted to the 60-day injured list Friday. Lenyn Sosa has assumed third base duties for the White Sox.

Moncada (adductor) was transferred to the 60-day injured list by the White Sox on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox needed to clear a couple spots on their 40-man roster and this move frees up one of them. Moncada is expected to be sidelined for 3-to-6 months with a left adductor strain.

The White Sox placed Moncada on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left adductor strain. He's expected to be out for 3-to-6 months.
EDGE Analysis
The strain is evidently of the Grade 2 or 3 variety, given that the White Sox are expecting a long-term stay on the shelf for Moncada. It's yet another injury for Moncada, who has been plagued by chronic back and leg issues over the last two seasons. Lenyn Sosa and Braden Shewmake could be in line for upticks in playing time in the infield while Moncada is sidelined.
