Diagnosed with right foot contusion Moncada exited Wednesday's game against the Twins due to a right foot contusion, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Moncada appeared to be walking gingerly after fouling a ball off his right foot in the fourth inning Wednesday and was ultimately replaced defensively in the top of the seventh. However, he underwent X-rays that came back negative, so he's considered day-to-day. If the 27-year-old misses additional time, Josh Harrison and Leury Garcia should see increased looks at the hot corner.

Impact Moncada is believed to have suffered the injury during his fourth-inning plate appearance, when he looked to be in discomfort after fouling a ball off his foot. He initially stayed in the contest and came to the plate once more before departing three innings later, with Josh Harrison coming off the bench to replace him during a tie game. Expect the White Sox to provide another update on Moncada's condition after the game.

Hitting .207 since return Moncada went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Tuesday in the White Sox's 8-2 loss to the Twins.

Impact Since being activated from the 10-day injured list a week ago, Moncada has started in each of the White Sox's subsequent seven games, going 6-for-29 (.207 average) with two doubles, five RBI, one run and a 0:11 BB:K. The 27-year-old will remain in the lineup at third base for Wednesday's series finale, though he'll move down from sixth to seventh in the batting order with Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) making his long-awaited return from the 60-day injured list.

Big game in return Moncada went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Angels.

Impact Moncada made his return from the injured list Tuesday and appeared in his 30th game of the season. He delivered a two-RBI double in the eighth inning, marking only his seventh extra-base hit across 118 plate appearances on the campaign. Moncada is hitting a disastrous .189/.237/.306, but he should improve those marks if he can remain on the field more consistently across the second half of the season.

Back from IL The White Sox reinstated Yoan Moncada (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Infield prospect Lenyn Sosa was sent back to Triple-A Charlotte to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Moncada, who was sidelined for the minimum amount of time with a right hamstring strain. Moncada should recapture his everyday role at third base, but the 27-year-old has thus far been a major disappointment for those that invested in him in fantasy drafts. In addition to being limited to just 29 games thus far due to injuries, Moncada is hitting .179 with three home runs, no stolen bases, 12 RBI and eight runs across 113 plate appearances.

Expected back Tuesday White Sox manager Tony La Russa said he remains hopeful Moncada (hamstring) will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday against the Angels when first eligible, Vin...

Impact Moncada is on the IL for the second time this season, but his strained right hamstring appears to be much less significant concern than the strained oblique that kept him on the shelf for six weeks. The White Sox appear confident that Moncada will be able to return from the IL without requiring a minor-league rehab assignment, though whether he's activated Tuesday may hinge on how he looks during a workout Monday.

Could return Tuesday Moncada (hamstring) could return from the injured list when first eligible Tuesday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moncada missed over a month at the start of the season with an oblique injury and lasted less than six weeks before returning to the injured list, this time with a strained hamstring. His latest issue seems to be less significant than his first, though it remains to be seen if he will indeed make it back after the minimum 10 days.

Hits injured list again Moncada was placed on the 10-day inured list with a strained right hamstring Monday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact The move was made retroactive to Saturday, so Moncada will be eligible to return next Tuesday, but it's not yet clear if he'll have the chance to do so. This is Moncada's second trip to the injured list, as he'd previously missed over a month with an oblique issue. Jake Burger should be the primary third baseman in his absence.

Unavailable Monday Moncada (hamstring) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moncada has been diagnosed with a mild hamstring strain and will be unavailable for a third consecutive game. While he's tentatively considered day-to-day, the White Sox are still evaluating whether he'll require a trip to the injured list. If the 27-year-old lands on the IL, Jake Burger, Josh Harrison and Danny Mendick will see additional playing time at third base.

Impact Moncada suffered an injury to his right hamstring Friday and sat out Saturday while undergoing an MRI, though the imaging results have yet to be disclosed.

Slated for MRI Moncada (hamstring), who isn't starting Saturday against Houston, will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moncada sustained a right hamstring injury Friday against the Astros, and his MRI should help to determine whether he'll require a trip to the injured list. Manager Tony La Russa is optimistic that the 27-year-old will avoid an IL stint, but Jake Burger and Josh Harrison should see increased playing time at third base if Moncada misses additional time.

Not in Saturday's lineup Moncada (hamstring) isn't starting Saturday's game against Houston.

Impact Moncada was removed from Friday's game against the Astros due to right hamstring tightness and will be out of the lineup for at least one matchup. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench, but Jake Burger will start at third base while Adam Engel enters the lineup in right field.

Impact Moncada appeared to hurt himself while running out a grounder in the top of the second inning. He remained in the game for the bottom of the frame but replaced by Josh Harrison when the White Sox took the field in the top of the third. Moncada is undergoing further tests which should help determine the severity of the injury.
