White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Optioned to Triple-A

Moncada was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Chicago's top prospect hit .317 with a 1.074 OPS and three home runs in 41 at-bats this spring in big league camp. The rebuilding White Sox will let Moncada get his first taste of Triple-A pitching at the outset of the season, and considering they can gain an extra year of control by holding him down until May 13, it seems unlikely that we will see him back with the big league club until mid-May at the earliest.
