Yoan Moncada Held Out Of Workouts
5 years agoChicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada has not participated in any workouts, which began on Friday of last week, according to a source. The team announced on Sunday that two players tested positive for COVID-19, but they didn't release names. Both players are asymptomatic, however. The White Sox won't say if Moncada was one of those two players. He was the only regular position player not on the field on Monday. If he does have the virus, he'll have to test negative twice in order to join the workouts. The 25-year-old switch-hitter is a rising player who is expected to play a key role at the top of an improved White Sox batting order. Moncada's average should come down a bit, but his drop in strikeouts in 2019 was an encouraging sign for his development. He'll provide modest power and speed at the keystone as solid middle infield option in the middle rounds of drafts.
