Moncada was off to a solid start through the team's first 11 games, posting a .774 OPS in 44 plate appearances. He's eligible for free agency at the end of the season if the White Sox decline his $25-million team option for 2025.

He joins Luis Robert Jr. (hip) and Eloy Jiménez (adductor) on Chicago's injured list.

The White Sox recalled outfielder Oscar Colás from Triple-A to take Moncada's spot on the active roster.
