Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada will be leading off in Game 1 of the team's doubleheader against the New York Yankees on Sunday. However, he will be held out in the second game of the two-game set. Moncada suffered a leg injury this past Thursday and the injury caused him to be scratched from Saturday's lineup. However, he did wind up making an appearance as a pinch-hitter in Saturday's game, going 0-for-1 with a strikeout. The 26-year-old has appeared in 10 games so far this year and he's slashing .195/.250/.341 with two home runs, four RBI and four runs.
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (leg) is a late scratch from the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Josh Harrison will now be covering third base in the game. Moncada felt discomfort in his leg during this past Thursday's game and the injury is still nagging him. However, manager Tony La Russa stated that Moncada will be available off the bench for Saturday's game. The 26-year-old has only appeared in nine games so far this year, but he's already launched a pair of home runs while slashing .200/.256/.350. It sounds as if there's a good chance he'll be back in the starting lineup for at least one of the games in the team's doubleheader on Sunday.
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (leg) felt discomfort in his leg during Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals. He didn't leave the game early and went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts. According to manager Tony La Russa, Moncada seemed to be moving around without issue postgame. The 26-year-old should be fine heading into the weekend series against the New York Yankees. He is slashing .200/.256/.350 with two home runs, four RBI, and four runs across nine games in 2022. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday to ensure Moncada is in the lineup before starting him.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada produced mixed results during 144 games in 2021. Although he walked 13.6% of the time, got on base at a .375 clip, and scored 74 runs, he went deep just 14 times, hit .263, and stole just three bases, along with a disappointing 61 RBI. After smashing 25 HRs during a breakout 2019 season, in which he posted an elite 12.2 Barrel%, Moncada's barrel rate dipped to 6.2% in 2020, followed by an 8.2% mark last season. His 13% HR/FB in 2021 implies he didn't have much bad luck, and his below-average 20.3 FB% isn't a good sign of more home runs to come. Moncada hit .315 in 2019, but his average exit velocity was 93.1 MPH, compared to 90.1 MPH last season. His 2021 25.5 K% doesn't help in that area, and the 26-year-old's .350 BABIP gives reason to believe his batting average will take a hit if he can't start annihilating the ball again. Even though his sprint speed is still in the 67th percentile, he's swiped just three bases his past 196 games, implying his days of 10-plus steals are over. Moncada's excellent on-base ability will provide fantasy managers with enough runs, but without extra-base power, his RBI total will be suboptimal. His current ADP of 142 isn't ideal, and drafters are better off waiting for Justin Turner at pick 154.
