Yoán Moncada’s again has landed him again on the injured checklist.
The Chicago White Sox positioned the third baseman on the 10-day IL with decrease again irritation, the group introduced Thursday. Moncada beforehand was on the IL from April 11-May 12 with decrease again soreness.
“I want to see him play without any pain,” supervisor Pedro Grifol mentioned earlier than Thursday’s recreation in opposition to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. “This might help him. Get a little time, it might help him come back to be in a position to do what he does without having to worry about it.”
Moncada has a .232/.279/.370 slash line with eight doubles, three homers and 13 RBIs in 38 video games. He was not within the lineup Wednesday in opposition to the Dodgers.
“The most important thing right now is him playing without him having to worry, ‘My back hurts,’” Grifol mentioned. “Or ‘how am I going to feel today.’ I simply need him to go on the market and be freed from ache and simply go play. He hasn’t performed that this yr but. I give him a variety of credit score for what he’s performed with how he’s felt.
“We see spurts here. That one day he went first to home in 11-some seconds. Once in a while he’ll show you something really, really good. Other times he can’t do it.”
Jake Burger began at third and homered twice in Wednesday’s 8-4 victory. He was scheduled to begin once more on the place Thursday.
Moncada’s IL stint is retroactive to Wednesday. In Thursday’s corresponding transfer, the Sox chosen the contract of infielder Zach Remillard from Triple-A Charlotte.
A tenth-round choose by the Sox in 2016 out of Coastal Carolina, Remillard is slashing .236/.344/.354 with 10 doubles, 5 residence runs and 25 RBIs in 59 video games for the Knights. He has been versatile, showing in 18 video games at first base, 16 at third, 11 at shortstop, six every at second and in left area, three at designated hitter, two in proper and one in left.
“Long time minor-leaguer, happy to see him here and get rewarded for his hard work,” Grifol mentioned.
The Sox are awaiting the following step for starter Mike Clevinger, who left Wednesday’s recreation within the fifth inning with proper biceps soreness.
“I guess the best news possible,” Clevinger mentioned Thursday. “There’s no structural damage. Shoulder, elbow looks good. Just some fluid in the bicep. It’s day by day right now.”
