Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (hamstring) could be ready to return Tuesday, according to manager Tony La Russa. Moncada was placed on the injured list, retroactive to June 18, with a strained right hamstring, and Tuesday is when he is eligible to come back. Although Moncada had been struggling severely this season with a brutal .179/.230/.292 slash line, his last game before his injury was his best, as he tallied five hits, including a home run and a double along with five RBI. Even with that effort, though, it is hard to trust Moncada in fantasy, especially since Jake Burger has been playing well in his absence. Moncada could see reduced playing time when he returns, which would make him non-viable in most fantasy leagues.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Texas Rangers. It will be the third time that Moncada will ride the pine in the team's last seven games. The 27-year-old has battled injuries this year and is struggling to the tune of a .133/.179/.211 slash line with only two home runs, six RBI and five runs scored in 90 at-bats over 24 games. Moncada has seen his fantasy stock tumble dramatically this year, and he could continue to lose playing time at the hot corner as long as Jake Burger produces. Burger is at third again on Sunday and is hitting fifth against Rangers right-hander Jon Gray. Burger is hitting .280/.326/.528 with eight home runs, 22 RBI and 18 runs scored in 36 games in his second big-league season.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (quadriceps) returned to action on Thursday after a five-game absence due to a quadriceps injury. He went 1-for-4 with an RBI in the contest. After the game, he spoke to White Sox beat writer Daryl Van Schouwen and told him that his quad felt good and that he fully expects to play again on Friday as well. We'll see if the White Sox choose to be cautious with the 27-year-old, but it's certainly good news that he's feeling raring to go after his return to action.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (quadriceps) is back at third base and is hitting third in the batting order on Thursday against Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Alek Manoah. Moncada missed the last five games with an injured quadriceps muscle. Hopefully the time off allowed him to regroup mentally, as the 27-year-old enters Thursday's action with just a .131/.172/.246 slash line with two home runs, four RBI and four runs scored in 64 plate appearances over 16 games played. Before his injury, Moncada went hitless in 15 at-bats over a five-game stretch.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (quadriceps) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu and the Toronto Blue Jays. Jake Burger will be making his fifth consecutive start at the hot corner for the game. Moncada is dealing with a left quadriceps injury. He has been held out of the starting lineup since last Wednesday, though he did make an appearance as a pinch-hitter this past Sunday. Injuries have held the 27-year-old to just 15 games so far this year. He's slashing .133/.175/.250 with two home runs, four RBI and four runs.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (quadriceps) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Moncada served as a pinch-hitter in Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs, but he hasn't started a game since last Wednesday with a left quadriceps injury. An injured list stint remains a possibility for the 27-year-old, who is hitting just .133/.175/.250 with two home runs, four RBI and four runs scored on the season in 15 games. Jake Burger is starting at third again and is hitting cleanup on Tuesday against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Burger is 5-for-17 (.294) with two home runs and six RBI in the last seven days and is worthy of DFS consideration in the cleanup spot.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (quadriceps) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs. Moncada will miss his third straight game while dealing with quadriceps soreness. Fantasy managers need to leave him on their benches. The 27-year-old's injury isn't believed to be very serious, so hopefully he'll get back into Chicago's lineup early next week. It's been a tough season so far for Moncada, as he's played in just 14 games and is slashing .136/.177/.254 with two home runs and four RBI. Jake Burger is back at third base and is batting third on Sunday against Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman. Burger is hitting .253/.292/.422 with four home runs and 12 RBI on the season in 25 games played.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada will be leading off in Game 1 of the team's doubleheader against the New York Yankees on Sunday. However, he will be held out in the second game of the two-game set. Moncada suffered a leg injury this past Thursday and the injury caused him to be scratched from Saturday's lineup. However, he did wind up making an appearance as a pinch-hitter in Saturday's game, going 0-for-1 with a strikeout. The 26-year-old has appeared in 10 games so far this year and he's slashing .195/.250/.341 with two home runs, four RBI and four runs.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (leg) is a late scratch from the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Josh Harrison will now be covering third base in the game. Moncada felt discomfort in his leg during this past Thursday's game and the injury is still nagging him. However, manager Tony La Russa stated that Moncada will be available off the bench for Saturday's game. The 26-year-old has only appeared in nine games so far this year, but he's already launched a pair of home runs while slashing .200/.256/.350. It sounds as if there's a good chance he'll be back in the starting lineup for at least one of the games in the team's doubleheader on Sunday.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (leg) felt discomfort in his leg during Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals. He didn't leave the game early and went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts. According to manager Tony La Russa, Moncada seemed to be moving around without issue postgame. The 26-year-old should be fine heading into the weekend series against the New York Yankees. He is slashing .200/.256/.350 with two home runs, four RBI, and four runs across nine games in 2022. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday to ensure Moncada is in the lineup before starting him.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. This appears to be a routine day off for Moncada. The 26-year-old is 6-for-21 with a pair of homers since returning from the injured list. Josh Harrison will cover the hot corner and bat ninth versus lefty Nestor Cortes Jr. on Sunday. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option than Harrison.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians. Moncada recently returned from an oblique injury that landed him on the injured list, and he's gone 2-for-8 with a walk and a run scored in his two games since returning. Josh Harrison will get the start at the hot corner for the series finale and is hitting ninth against Guardians right-hander Aaron Civale. Harrison doesn't have much fantasy upside as a low-cost DFS streamer anymore, especially while hitting at the bottom of Chicago's batting order. He has just nine hits in his first 57 at-bats this year, with no home runs and two RBI in 19 games.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (oblique) and relief pitcher Joe Kelly (biceps) were activated from the injured list on Monday. Infielder Jake Burger was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte to make room for Moncada, while relief pitcher Aaron Bummer (knee) was placed on the injured list to make room for Kelly on the major league roster. Manager Tony La Russa said that Moncada would return to the two-hole in the lineup on Monday against Cleveland Guardians right-hander Zach Plesac. Moncada hit .318 with two home runs and a double on his six-game rehab assignment with Charlotte, and fantasy managers should be looking to get him back into their lineups. Kelly will be making his debut with the White Sox and is expected to be an important late-inning setup man in front of closer Liam Hendriks.

Chicago White Sox manager Tony LaRussa reiterated Sunday that third baseman Yoan Moncada (oblique) should return to the team from the 10-day injured list on Monday and bat second in the lineup, per MLB.com's Scott Merkin. The 26-year-old has been sidelined for the first month of the 2022 season due to a strained right oblique. Moncada slashed .263/.375/.412 with 14 home runs, 61 RBI, 74 runs, and three stolen bases over 144 games in 2021, so he should be a useful fantasy option at a relatively shallow position once he returns.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. He's been sidelined for the first month of the season due to a strained right oblique. This week, the 26-year-old will complete a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte and return to the majors on Monday. Once activated, he is expected to reclaim his role as the team's everyday third baseman. Moncada slashed .263/.375/.412 with 14 home runs, 61 RBI, 74 runs, and three stolen bases over 144 games in 2021.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Saturday. This is good news since Moncada has been sidelined since early April due to a strained right oblique. The 26-year-old should be able to return to the big league roster in early May. He'll likely need a few minor league at-bats to get his groove back. In the meantime, Jake Burger is expected to continue seeing playing time at the hot corner.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (oblique) will begin his minor league rehab assignment on Friday with Triple-A Charlotte. Moncada is experiencing some pain while swinging left-handed, but he's been cleared to resume playing in games in the minors. The 26-year-old has been battling a right oblique strain for almost a month, and the White Sox will make sure not to rush him back for his regular season debut. If everything goes well on his rehab assignment, Moncada could make his first start for the White Sox this year at some point next week. Jake Burger has primarily been starting at the hot corner in Chicago with Moncada sidelined. Moncada hit .263/.375/.412 with 14 home runs, 61 RBI and 74 runs scored in 616 plate appearances over 144 games in 2021. He should be stashed in all fantasy formats with his return around the corner.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A this coming weekend, according to White Sox reporter James Fegan. The 26-year-old has yet to make his 2022 debut as he's been sidelined with a Grade 1 oblique strain. We still don't have a clear timeline for his return, but if he winds up starting a rehab assignment at Triple-A this weekend, then we could potentially see him in the majors not long after that. Last year, Moncada slashed .263/.375/.412 with 14 home runs, 61 RBI and 74 runs over 144 games.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (oblique) was given no timetable for a return from manager Tony La Russa ahead of Saturday's game versus Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old was diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain ahead of Opening Day last week and the original timeline was three weeks, but La Russa stated that he's still feeling "discomfort on moves needed for defense." The team can afford to take it slow with Moncada this early in the season, but it's not a great sign that the next step in his recovery has been delayed. Managers should continue to hang on to Moncada as he'll look to rebound after a disappointing 2021 campaign.

Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said that third baseman Yoan Moncada (oblique) will be out for three weeks with a Grade 1 oblique strain. Moncada wanted to play through the injury, but he feels it whenever he laughs or sneezes and also when he swings. The White Sox placed him on the 10-day injured list, as well as right-handers Ryan Burr (shoulder), Joe Kelly (biceps) and Lance Lynn (knee), lefty Garrett Crochet (elbow) and outfielder Yermin Mercedes (hand). With Moncada out to begin the regular season, Jake Burger will get the first start at the hot corner on Opening Day on Friday against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez.
