This season in Single and Double-A Moncada is hitting.306 with 11 home runs and 54 RBIs in just 84 games. He was 3-1 with a 1.57 ERA in four starts for the Knights in 2014 and made his Major League debut with the White Sox on April 27.

The loss, the Sox’s eighth in nine games, further tipped the team’s trading-deadline scales in favor of selling, what with seven teams and seven games separating them from a postseason spot going into Friday.
Sale, who started the All-Star Game for the American League, is 14-3 this season with a 3.18 ERA.
It’s safe to say Miguel Cabrera’s slump is officially over. The White Sox struck in the bottom of the inning, partly thanks to a rare miss by Jose Iglesias at shortstop.
I don’t want to say it’s purgatory, but as far as baseball goes, he’s in a hard spot.
Maybe the umpiring crew refused to make a hasty decision – waiting 2 hours, 5 minutes to make a determination and inform teams play would not resume – because it was a close game between teams within the same division.
The White Sox are 1-7 in their last 8 overall and are 1-7 in their last 8 games on grass while the under is 6-1-1 in their last 8 overall. The White Sox don’t seem to be there yet, but they need to get there soon or things will spiral out of control in a hurry for this franchise. The move comes a week after the White Sox assigned him outright to Triple-A Charlotte. Victor Martinez brought home Kinsler on a sacrifice fly, but the Tigers had to settle for just one run to go up 4-1. Still, Fulmer was responsible for three runs, three hits and three walks in two-thirds of an inning.
Shields will try to continue his progress as he takes the mound for the opener of a four-game series against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night in Chicago. Kinsler was then picked off first base but advanced to third on an errant throw by Jose Abreu.
Right now, many believe the White Sox are simply gauging the market, and don’t really feel like giving up on two starting pitchers who can be aces anywhere. “So, for Miggy to hit the home run that gave us the lead, it was big”. Albers recorded an out of Upton to lead off the top half of the 5th before Dan Jennings replaced him. Castellanos singled two batters later allowing Cabrera to score, making it 3-1 Tigers.
The Detroit Tigers had to wait out a marathon rain delay before the game was finally called.
