White Sox Place Yoán Moncada On IL, Select Zach Remillard

By Darragh McDonald | June 15, 2023 at 3:05pm CDT

3:05pm: The White Sox have now officially announced these moves.

2:40pm: The White Sox are going to place third baseman Yoán Moncada on the injured list, reports Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times. Infielder Zach Remillard will have his contract selected to take Moncada’s place on the active roster. Remillard isn’t currently on the 40-man but the club has a couple of vacancies there and won’t need to make another corresponding move.

Moncada sat out yesterday’s game due to an ongoing back issue that has been bothering him this year, caused by a protruding disc touching a nerve. He already missed close to a month of this season, landing on the IL in mid-April and returning in mid-May. He was hitting .308/.325/.564 through his first nine games but has slashed just .202/.262/.293 since returning from that IL stint. Now that he’s going back on the shelf, it seems fair to wonder if it’s continued bothering him for the past month.

At this point, it’s unclear how long he’ll be out or what the next steps will be, but it’s likely that Jake Burger will take over at the hot corner. He was able to take advantage of extra playing time at third when Moncada first when on the IL and is now hitting .250/.299/.600 for the year. He’s striking out in 31.6% of his plate appearances but has 15 home runs in 50 games. Since Moncada came off the injured list, he’s been spending some time as the designated hitter and even got some brief looks at first and second base. But with Andrew Vaughn the primary option at first and Elvis Andrus at second, the newly-opened third base spot is a more natural fit for him.

The Sox will give themselves an extra bench option by selecting Remillard, with the 29-year-old now finding himself on a major league roster for the first time. A 10th round pick of the Sox back in 2016, he has been climbing the rungs of the minor league ladder since then. He reached free agency after 2022 but re-signed with the Sox on a minor league deal. He was first promoted to Triple-A in May of 2021 and has played 272 games at that level. His 1,047 plate appearances there have resulted in a .244/.340/.376 batting line. He also stole 42 bases in that time while playing all seven of the non-battery positions in the field, which should allow him to serve as a versatile bench piece for the Sox. He’ll be making his major league debut as soon as he gets into a game.

      No offense to the team or to the site, but this saga is like watching paint dry…

    Chris Sale for Michael Kopech and Yoan Moncada.

    A trade that was supposed to be a future HOFer for two can’t miss top prospects out of a system that had a reputation for bringing big names to the big leagues.

    Two can’t stay on the field (Sale/Moncada) and the other is a coin flip every time he takes the mound.

    What a disaster.

      Baseball is a tough sport.

      Kopech may not have returned to his former self after his surgery. Blame it on that Tommy John guy.

      Moncada had high expectations. If he was perfect he probably still would have let someone down.

      Sale simply broke down.

      Didn’t Moncada almost set an MLB record for consecutive at bats striking out when he first made the majors? That’s not a good omen.

        Not according to this. He did strike out his last 9 at bats of 2016.

    Time to get rid of Moncada. I’m tired of seeing him limp around, jog to first, fouling balls of his foot, and being basically non productive at the plate. I question his toughness and heart.

      Moncada is due $24.8 mill. next year. He has negative trade value and barring a miraculous stretch of health and production no one is taking on that contract. Just suffer the next year and a half.

      The farm system is bare but they call up Remillard? That’s the choice. Ugh.

      He cares more about dancing around in music videos than playing baseball. Has the worst body language I’ve ever seen from a player. He has no heart or toughness. Absolute BUST!

        @palehose. You are absolutely correct on Moncada. Described him perfectly.

      Well said Eagles. Addition by subtraction. Burger can only be an upgrade.

      The guy cannot even do the Sox a solid by staying healthy long enough to find a sucker (I guess Hahn could always look into a mirror to find one though). Moncada has talent, he had two 5 hit games last season, he just has no heart.. too busy counting his money, recording songs and posting his kid’s bat flips instead of working on his craft and ensuring he stays healthy…

    His body language is horrible. Never smiles, sulks around like his dog just died. He looks miserable.

      From the article, Yoán has:
      > a protruding disc touching a nerve

      How is anybody supposed to be happy with that?

    This was just another terrible move by our front office, Jerry should go out and hire an excellent baseball man like Terry Francona to run our front office. It’s time for Terry to get out of the Cleveland dugout and lead the White Sox to respectability and a World Series Championship!!

      Below is the reason Sale was shipped out.

      Also there is a photo of his delivery. Very surprised he didn’t blow out his arm the minute he took the mound at Fenway.

      Francona used to manage in the White Sox minor leagues before he managed in Philadelphia.

    What a shame considering DD cleaned out the entire BoSox MiLB just to move him.
