Yoan Moncada Could Return After All-Star Break
6 months agoChicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said on Thursday that third baseman Yoan Moncada (thigh) is on a slow-paced rehab plan, but a return after the All-Star break in mid-July is still possible. The switch-hitting Moncada resumed baseball activities in mid-May and was swinging from both sides of the plate. Much like the rehabbing Eloy Jimenez (hamstring), the White Sox are not going to rush the oft-injured Moncada back into the fold. The 29-year-old Cuban infielder has had his share of lower-body injuries in his career, but it sounds as though the team is expecting him back int he second half of the season, and he should return to regular duties at the hot corner when that happens. Before his injury, Moncada went 11-for-39 (.282) with no homers, three doubles and a steal for the Pale Hose.
