Yoan Moncada is eligible to come off the 10-day injured list this weekend, but that won’t happen. With White Sox manager Pedro Grifol saying Moncada will likely need a minor league rehab stint when his sore lower back is well, a timetable for the third baseman’s return isn’t even on the grid.
Moncada landed on the 10-day IL retroactive to April 11. Whereas Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) returned from the the IL without a minor league stint, Grifol said Moncada being a position player and Jimenez primarily a DH is why Moncada will need a few games to sharpen up.
