White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada to miss 3-6 months with left adductor strain

(670 The Score) White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada will be sidelined for three to six months with a left adductor strain, the club announced Wednesday.

Moncada suffered the injury while running to first base in Chicago’s win at Cleveland on Tuesday, and he immediately crumped to the ground. If he’s out for six months as shared in the estimated timeline for a return, that would mean Moncada would miss the rest of the 2024 season.

Moncada was hitting .282 with three doubles in 11 games this season. His absence will be a big blow for a struggling White Sox offense that ranks dead last in MLB in runs per game.

In a corresponding move, Chicago recalled outfielder Oscar Colas from Triple-A Charlotte. Colas hit .216 with five homers and 19 RBIs in 75 games for the White Sox in 2023.
