ATLANTA (AP) — White Sox outfielder Jon Jay will undergo surgery next week and miss the rest of the season with a right hip injury.Jay, a 34-year-old journeyman, was sidelined from the start of the season until June 24 with the hip problem. He hit .267 with no homers and nine RBIs in 47 games."He'd been working, playing through it, managing it," Chicago manager Rick Renteria said Friday. "I think at the end he and all the powers that be within his group decided he wanted to get it fixed, so they did."Jay will have a procedure to repair a muscle tear in his right hip on Thursday in Philadelphia.Chicago signed Jay to a $4 million, one-year contract in January. The Miami native has a .285 career average in 10 seasons. He helped St. Louis win the World Series in 2011 and the Chicago Cubs win the NL Central in 2017. Jay has played for six teams over the last five years.Outfielder Ryan Cordell was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to take his place on the roster.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox have put third baseman Yoán Moncada on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hamstring.The White Sox made the move before Thursday's game with the New York Mets. Outfielder Ryan Cordell was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte.Moncada left Tuesday night's game after fielding Wilson Ramos' grounder in the top of the first. On Wednesday, Moncada said through a translator that he first sensed discomfort while taking groundballs before that game, but then "felt" the injury on his first play in the 5-2 11-inning loss to the Mets.The move was retroactive to Wednesday.Moncada is hitting .301 with 20 homers and 59 RBIs in 97 games. The 24-year-old has been solid in the field in a breakout season and is considered one of the young pillars in rebuilding Chicago's lineup."We have to be cautious, obviously, with all of our guys," manager Rick Renteria said. "They are a big piece of what will be a big future for them and for us."(Moncada) had shown everybody he's made the improvements — a lot of improvement — on both sides of the baseball. Hopefully he's recoving from this soon rather than later."Cordell was optioned to Charlotte on Tuesday. He's batting .234 with five homers and 18 RBIs in 69 games with Chicago.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Anderson was 8 for 23 (.346) with one homer and four RBIs during a five-game injury rehabilitation assignment with Charlotte."He's an elite shortstop,"manager Rick Renteria said. "I think his defense speaks for itself in terms of how he's grown out there, the offense has grown so much."Maybe it will take him a little time to get back in the full swing, but it's nice to have him in the lineup."The 26-year-old Anderson said he was ready to go for the White Sox, who are 4-13 since the All-Star break."I comfortable...
