Yoán Moncada's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Chicago White Sox placed third baseman Yoan Moncada (groin) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a left-groin strain, but he's expected to miss three to six months. Outfielder Oscar Colas was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Moncada could end up missing the rest of the season after getting hurt while running to first base in the second inning on Tuesday. It's a huge disappointment for Moncada and the White Sox, especially with outfielders Eloy Jimenez (groin) and Luis Robert Jr. (hip) also on the IL. Moncada had gone 11-for-39 (.282) with three doubles and four runs scored in 11 games this year. Both Lenyn Sosa and Braden Shewmake could see more playing time on the infield with the 28-year-old out for the foreseeable future. Sosa is starting at third base and hitting second against the Guardians on Wednesday.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (groin) was removed early during Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Moncada has been dealing with a lingering issue since the start of the season. The expectation is that he'll join teammates Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert Jr. on the injured list. The White Sox are likely to have Moncada undergo further testing before making any moves.

Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said that third baseman Yoan Moncada (hip, groin) is dealing with a nagging hip/adductor injury for the last three to four days, but the skipper said he doesn't expect the injury to keep Moncada out of the lineup. "He's doing a really good job maintaining it," Grifol said. The White Sox can ill-afford anymore injuries to key players with Eloy Jimenez (groin) and Luis Robert Jr. (hip) already on the injured list. The 28-year-old Moncada has had his fair share of injuries over the years, too, but he remains in the lineup at third base while batting second on Tuesday against Cleveland Guardians left-hander Logan Allen. The Cuban switch-hitter is hitting .270 (10-for-37) in the early going, but he hasn't hit a home run or driven in a run yet in 10 contests.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada is feeling healthy and motivated as spring training nears. The veteran dealt with knee and back issues in the 2022 and 2023 seasons as he appeared in just 92 games in 2023 after appearing in just 104 games in the 2022 campaign. "I'm motivated and excited because I'm healthy. That's the only thing I want. If I'm healthy, I know I can do a lot of good things in the field. I'm excited right now to get to spring training and start working," he told the media at White Sox FanFest. The 28-year-old hit .260 with 11 home runs and one stolen bases across 357 plate appearances last season after hitting just .212 with 12 HR and two SB in 433 trips to the plate in 2022. His 2019 career year saw him hit .315 with 25 HR and 10 SB across 132 games played.
