Adalberto Mondesi Has Setback in Rehab
4 years agoKansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (oblique) has come back to see the club's medical staff after experiencing tightness in his oblique during his minor-league rehab assignment, the Kansas City Star reported, citing manager Mike Matheny. Mondesi, who had struggled at the plate in his most recent rehab assignment, has played in just 10 games for the Royals this year. Nicky Lopez will continue to be the team's primary shortstop for now. Top prospect Bobby Witt Jr., who was recently promoted to Triple-A Omaha, could get a late-season call-up. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues should consider moving on from Mondesi, though in keeper formats his speed is too much of a plus.

Adalberto Mondesi To Visit With Doctor
2 years agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (knee) will visit with a doctor in Boston to determine the next step in his rehab from a torn ACL. For weeks now, Mondesi has been doing hitting and fielding drills, but he has yet to play in games or begin a minor-league rehab assignment. If doctors like what they see with the 27-year-old speedster, he could be on the verge of starting a rehab assignment in the minors. The switch-hitting middle infielder has yet to play in 2023 and has played in a total of 109 games the last three seasons with the Kansas City Royals due to injuries. Once considered an elite stolen base target in fantasy, Mondesi needs to prove he can stay on the field before fantasy managers will want him on their rosters again. The good news is he should see plenty of playing time at the 6 in Boston once he's ready to make his season debut.

Adalberto Mondesi Placed On 60-Day Injured List
2 years agoThe Boston Red Sox placed shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (knee) on the 60-day injured list on Thursday. Mondesi is still recovering from a torn left ACL suffered last year, and now he won't be able to make his 2023 debut with Boston until at least May. The 27-year-old hasn't been able to stay healthy in his career, but he's worth stashing in deeper mixed leagues for his speed. He should see plenty of playing time at shortstop in his first year in Boston when he's healthy enough to return. Until then, Enrique Hernandez should see most of the playing time at the 6, with Christian Arroyo serving as Boston's primary second baseman.

Adalberto Mondesi Works Out Wednesday
2 years agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (knee) had a good day at spring training on Wednesday while hitting and taking ground balls. Mondesi is expected to increase his workload in the coming days in camp, but he's still not expected to be ready for Opening Day at the end of March. The 27-year-old could bump Enrique Hernandez back to the outfield when he's fully healthy. Mondesi entered the league with plenty of potential from a speed perspective, but injuries have hurt him recently. He suffered a torn ACL in 2022 and played in only 15 games for the Kansas City Royals. It's also possible that he could form a platoon with Hernandez at short when he's ready, which would limit his fantasy appeal in deeper leagues.
