Needs more time on rehab assignment

Moncada (adductor) is expected to play in at least five more rehab games for Triple-A Charlotte before being activated from the 60-day injured list, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Analysis

Moncada has been on the injured list since April while recovering from an adductor strain and a related setback that caused him to be pulled off a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break. Though he's reported no setbacks since kicking off a second rehab assignment this past Tuesday, Moncada has looked rusty in his first game action in a month and a half, going 2-for-10 with a double and two strikeouts. Based on Romero's report, the White Sox are leaning toward keeping Moncada at Charlotte throughout the week, so he shouldn't be expected to return from the 60-day injured list until the second week of September. Miguel Vargas and Lenyn Sosa will likely continue to share reps at third base until Moncada is back with the big club.
