The White Sox will be without Moncada, who is injured, for 3-6 months.
Grifol never imagined that he would lose three of his top players and most skilled hitters in just the first two weeks.
Moncada was placed on the 15-day injured list and outfielder Oscar Colas was brought up from Triple-A Charlotte to fill his spot on the roster.
It is not clear when Robert will return, but Jimenez may be back as soon as this weekend.
Grifol expressed doubts about the possibility of such an event occurring and explained that it is not due to it being impossible, but rather because of the effort and dedication required. He emphasized the importance of playing with intensity and hustling on the bases, as these habits help improve endurance and enable players to reach their maximum potential.Luis Robert Jr. and designated hitter Eloy Jimenez on the injured list. The trio has been oft-injured during their tenure with the White Sox, with Moncada also missing time last season while nursing a back injury.
Moncada explained, with the help of a translator, that he felt something snap while running down the line on Wednesday at the hallway outside the Chicago clubhouse.
“Unfortunately, it’s just a part of the game. These athletes are at the top of their field, and they possess incredible strength, physicality, and speed. It’s simply one of the factors that cannot be rationalized.”
Last season, Colas, who is now 25 years old, appeared in 75 games for the White Sox and had a .571 OPS. Within those games, he hit five home runs. In the current season, he has a .321 batting average, one home run, and four runs batted in while playing in the minor leagues.
This report includes contributions from Jesse Rogers of ESPN and The Associated Press.
The team announced on Wednesday that Yoan Moncada, the third baseman for the Chicago White Sox, will be out for a minimum of three months and potentially up to six months due to a strain in his left adductor.
In the current season, Moncada had 11 hits out of 39 at-bats with a batting average of .282. However, he did not hit any home runs or earn any RBI. This marks his eighth year with the White Sox, and it may be his last if they choose to exercise their option on him in 2025.
Moncada, who is 28 years old, sustained an injury while running to first base in Tuesday’s win against the Cleveland Guardians. He had been experiencing discomfort in that area for a few days before the game, and collapsed as he approached the base. Moncada was in pain on the ground for several minutes before he was assisted off the field.
