White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Dealing with sore knee
Moncada aggravated his right knee injury on a swing during Saturday's loss to the Tigers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
It's not clear when Moncada initially hurt the knee, but evidently he made it worse while in the batter's box Saturday and was icing in postgame. Whether the injury is possibly more than a day-to-day situation isn't known. Moncada did finish Saturday's contest, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Belts homer in loss
Moncada went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.
Moncada tagged Brandon Woodruff for a solo shot to center field in the sixth inning, marking his first homer since returning from a lengthy stay on the injured list July 25. The third baseman has seen his power drop off since going deep 25 times in 2019, as he has since topped out at 14 homers over 144 contests in 2021. With just four long balls and one stolen base across 54 games, Moncada has been waiver-wire fodder in most fantasy formats this season.

White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Hitless in return
Moncada went 0-for-3 with an RBI against the Cubs on Tuesday.
Moncada returned from a six-week absence caused by a back issue to start at third base and hit fifth. He struck out twice but managed a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. There was some concern about Moncada's potential for playing time given the power production of Jake Burger while Moncada was sidelined, though Burger slid to second base Tuesday. That could leave both Zach Remillard and Elvis Andrus as the biggest playing-time losers due to Moncada's return.

White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Activated from injured list
Moncada (back) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Moncada has been limited to just 38 games this season due to a back injury that's led to a pair of IL stints. His most recent absence lasted six weeks, but he's ready to roll now following an eight-game rehab stint with Triple-A Charlotte. Moncada's return puts Jake Burger's playing time outlook in flux to a degree, although the White Sox have discussed the possibility of using him more at second base.

White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Could be back Tuesday
White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said that Moncada (back) could return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Moncada made his seventh rehab appearance for Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday and recorded a double and a pair of walks, bringing his on-base percentage up to .357 during the minor-league assignment. He looks ready to rejoin the big club, and though Moncada mustered a meager .649 OPS at the big-league level this season, Grifol said he still envisions the 28-year-old switch hitter returning to a near-everyday role at third base. Grifol said that Moncada's return won't necessarily bump Jake Burger out of the regular lineup; the skipper floated the possibility of Burger playing more frequently at second base, where he's made two appearances off the bench. Burger could also play at first base if Andrew Vaughn (foot) is moved to the 10-day IL.

White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Beginning rehab assignment
Moncada (back) is beginning his rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Charlotte, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Jake Burger, who has been playing third base with Moncada on the shelf, has had the better overall season, but he's hitting .176 with three home runs and a 32 percent strikeout rate over his last 20 games. Given how much Moncada struggled (78 wRC+, 0.18 BB/K) before his latest injury, the club may opt to give him a longer rehab assignment than usual to see if he can get into a rhythm at the plate.

White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Rehab assignment coming after break
White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said Tuesday that Moncada (back) could begin a rehab assignment after the All-Star break, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
Hahn's statement seemingly rules out the possibility of Moncada returning before the All-Star break, and it appears he might not be available immediately afterwards either. The 28-year-old third baseman has been on the injured list since June 15 due to a lingering back issue and is slashing .232/.279/.370 on the season.

White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Takes part in sprinting work
Moncada (back) was seen running at full speed in the outfield prior to Sunday's game against the Athletics, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The activity is another sign that Moncada is trending in the right direction as he works his way through the back issue that has bothered him off and on this season. Despite Moncada's increased involvement in on-field work, the White Sox aren't yet putting a timeline on his return from the 10-day injured list. Even if Moncada doesn't make it back before the All-Star break, he should still have a good chance at being ready to go when the White Sox open their second-half slate July 14.
