Back issues have limited Yoán Moncada this season.
The Chicago White Sox reinstated the third baseman from the 10-day injured list before Tuesday’s City Series game against the Cubs at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Moncada went on the IL on June 14 with lower back inflammation. He was on the IL from April 11 to May12 with lower back soreness.
Moncada has a .232/.279/.370 slash line with eight doubles, three home runs, 13 RBIs and 17 runs in 38 games this season.
His return could mean some time at second base for Jake Burger.
“We’ll figure that out,” manager Pedro Grifol said Sunday afternoon at Target Field in Minneapolis. “They’re both going to be in the lineup somehow, someway.”
In Tuesday’s corresponding move, the Sox optioned catcher Carlos Pérez to Triple-A Charlotte.
