Shocker….could have just put Yoan on the IL a few days ago???

[Dick Allen 5,854]

It took way longer than it should, but they made the right call.

[ChiSox59 5,440]

Always seemed to be the move.

Not really sure it changes much for 2 days. They wanted to see if Yoan would be alright before losing him for 10 days. I don’t think Sheets 0-8 last 2 days would have been a game changer.

Probably didn't make a difference,  but it could have, and for what? Do the White Sox believe hammys are 2 day injuries? If they do, they are wackadoos.

Best news I've heard all day.  

[Harry Chappas 969]

Is this his third or fourth injury this year?

Doesn't seem the decision on Mendick/Harrison/Burger will be coming soon enough to placate the masses.

I'm ok with this. Who knows whether there will be another injury before Moncada comes back.

[MikeKreevich 32]

No big loss.  Moncada has been a big disappointment.

[HOFHurt35 1,455]

I still don't think the Sox get anywhere if Yoan and Grandal don't get back to being contributors on this team.

Both are more important than Eloy at this point.

Ehhh. He’s been really bad, but the Sox need Yoan and need him playing well if this team wants to turn this season around.

Only on Soxtalk is the chance for TLR to give Josh Harrison more ABs a good thing.

Moncada is a bust

Grandal could well have a disc injury

Going off the obvious belief that all 3 are big disappointments. I'm going to disagree, only because of the 3 - the only I see as having a snowball's chance in hell of coming up and killing it is Eloy.

I think the guys we have now - combined with at least 2 of Eloy/Yoan/Grandal being what the Sox expected would basically make them (offensively) a legit title contender. Obviously starting pitching and other things would need to lineup and be healthy. 

[ScooterMcGuire 1,556]

We have a pitching rotation and an injury rotation. One guy goes on, another comes off.

i guess we know why he doesnt steal bases. He wouldnt last half a season 

[Lillian 774]

My best, most realistic hope is that Moncada gets healthy enough to play the second half, with great success. Then, I would hope that the Sox could trade him, in the off season, for a power hitting right fielder. I'm just tired of his frequent stints on the IL, his subpar offense and I'm concerned about the money still owed on that contract.

Need Yoan and Yaz back badly so we can idiot-proof the lineup again.

Not sure how having two sub .200 BA players back idiot proofs the lineup.  Especially when the idiot in question is Tony LaRussa.
