Yoan Moncada, Jose Ruiz Placed On Injured List
4 years agoChicago White Sox third baseman/second baseman Yoan Moncada and relief pitcher Jose Ruiz were placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The White Sox aren't specifying an injury for either player, so it's a good bet this is related to COVID-19. Moncada has been away from summer camp since Monday and it's unclear if he'll be ready for the start of the regular season. If he has tested positive for COVID-19, he'll need two negative tests in order to rejoin the team. The 25-year-old switch-hitter broke out in 2019 by slashing .315/.367/.548 with 25 home runs, 83 runs, 79 RBI and 10 steals in 132 games. Moncada's average is surely to come down based on an unsustainable BABIP last year, but he has the skills to hit 30 homers and steal double-digit bags over a full season.
