Yoán Moncada - Takes part in sprinting workMoncada (back) was seen running at full speed in the outfield prior to Sunday's game against the Athletics, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ImpactThe activity is another sign that Moncada is trending in the right direction as he works his way through the back issue that has bothered him off and on this season. Despite Moncada's increased involvement in on-field work, the White Sox aren't yet putting a timeline on his return from the 10-day injured list. Even if Moncada doesn't make it back before the All-Star break, he should still have a good chance at being ready to go when the White Sox open their second-half slate July 14.

Seby Zavala - Playing time trending upZavala will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Athletics.
ImpactWith top backstop Yasmani Grandal getting the day off, Zavala will enter the lineup for the fourth time in five games. With manager Pedro Grifol having shown an increased willingness to deploy Grandal at designated hitter of late, Zavala could continue to see more playing time than the typical No. 2 backstop. Zavala helped his case for earning more work by slugging two home runs in an 11-5 win over the Angels on Wednesday, but he's still holding down a weak .552 OPS on the season.

Zach Remillard - Playing ahead of AndrusRemillard will start at second base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against Oakland.
ImpactRemillard will remain in the lineup for a fifth straight contest, with four of those starts coming at the keystone. Thanks to producing a .929 OPS over his first 42 plate appearances in the majors, Remillard appears to have supplanted Elvis Andrus as the White Sox's preferred option at second base.
