On bench Sunday Moncada is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact Yolmer Sanchez will take over at third base and bat ninth against right-hander Michael Lorenzen. Moncada had a triple in Saturday's game, ending a five-game hitless slide. The 25-year-old has a .192/.306/.269 line in the month of September; it seems he's still not feeling back to full strength after his bout with COVID-19 earlier this year.

Impact Moncada was given a two-day break (the team's off-day Thursday and a rest day Friday) before returning to the lineup Saturday.

Signs of life Moncada went 2-for-5 with a run scored and one RBI in the White Sox' 8-1 victory against the Pirates on Wednesday night.

Impact Moncada came into the contest in a 3-for-21 slump. After a hot start to the season, he has hit a meek .239 in the White Sox last 30 games. He ranks in the bottom fifth of the league for exit velocity, expected batting average and strikeout percentage.

Returns to lineup Moncada went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Moncada was given a two-day break, having sat out Sunday before Monday's off-day. He recently acknowledged a lack of energy as the result of a bout with COVID-19 earlier this summer, which could be a contributing factor to his slash of .243/.335/.397, down nearly 200 points in OPS from his breakout 2019 campaign.

Takes seat Sunday Moncada is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact Moncada recently revealed that he "hasn't felt the same" since his battle with COVID-19 in July, saying he's still experiencing a "lack of energy, strength." The numbers certainly bear that out, and it would not be a surprise to see the White Sox sit him here or there down the stretch in an attempt to rejuvenate Moncada. Yolmer Sanchez starts at third base in his absence.

Hasn't felt same since having virus Moncada said that his body "hasn't felt the same" since having COVID-19 in mid-July, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Moncada was able to produce a negative test ahead of opening day, but continues to feel the effects of contracting the virus, saying he feels a "lack of energy, strength." The third-baseman, who is also continuing to deal with leg soreness, is hitting .248/.338/.421 on the campaign. While those numbers are nothing to scoff at, it's worth noting that the post-virus effects could be part of the reason that he's seen a drop-off in production from last season.

May return Wednesday Manager Rick Renteria said he's "optimistic" Moncada (upper leg) will be able to rejoin the lineup Wednesday at Minnesota, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact The 25-year-old aggravated the upper leg injury during Saturday's game and has been held out of the lineup the past three games. Renteria previously indicated Moncada could return to the lineup for Monday's contest, so it's hardly a sure thing he'll be back in action Wednesday. Danny Mendick and Yolmer Sanchez have received starts at third base during his absence.
