White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Wednesday that there is still no telling exactly how long Moncada (back) will remain on the injured list, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada landed on the injured list Thursday due to a back issue that has bothered him all season. He's resumed throwing and fielding drills but has yet to step back into the batter's box which could potentially spell an absence that lasts into July. A better picture should come as Moncada progresses through his rehab process.

Moncada will be placed on the injured list Thursday due to his nagging back injury, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada has dealt with a herniated disc in his back since spring training and already spent more than a month on the IL with the issue earlier this season. He's struggled at the plate of late and will head back to the shelf after playing through the injury for the past month. It's not clear how much time he'll miss, but it certainly could be an extended absence. Jake Burger is in line for everyday third base duties.

Moncada went 1-for-8 with a solo home run across both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada took Luis Severino deep in the third inning of the opening game to tally his third home run of the season, though he also struck out three times across the twin bill. It was his first long ball in 28 games, which encompasses most of his season due to injury. Moncada currently has a .675 OPS across 131 plate appearances, his second consecutive year under .700. Even so, he remains the primary starter at third base.
