Yoán Moncada returns from rehab assignment

Moncada, 27, was placed on the 10-day IL on April 11th after leaving a game with lower back soreness. The injury ended up being more serious than originally thought as it turned about to be a disc issue in his back causing him to miss a month of baseball.

Before the injury, Moncada was off to a hot start early in the season. He was slashing a line of .308/.325/.564 with a 143 wRC+ through the first nine games of the season. Moncada has not missed a beat in Charlotte either as he has gone 8-14 (.571 AVG) with 2 HR and 4 RBIs. The White Sox will be happy to have his bat and glove back in the lineup as Jake Burger has been on the 10-day IL a little over a week ago.

Moncada is in the lineup tonight batting fourth against the Astros and will play third base.

As for Sosa, the 23-year-old has continued to struggle when it comes to adapting to the major leagues. He is currently hitting a mere .132/.145/.221 with a -9 wRC+. Hopefully, a more extended stay in Charlotte will help him rebuild his confidence at the plate.

Colomé, 34, is being sent back down to the Triple-A affiliate as no team decided to pick him up after the Sox DFA’d him just recently. This comes as no surprise as Colomé went 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA with two strikeouts in three innings pitched for the Sox this season.

Stay tuned for additional updates!
