What It Means:

“I’m just holding him out right now,” White Sox manager Rick Renteria said. The White Sox had two players test positive for COVID-19, so it's possible Moncada is infected or otherwise impacted. The 25-year-old signed a five-year, $70 million contract extension with the White Sox back in March following a breakout 2019 campaign that saw Moncada slash .315/.367/.548 with 25 home runs, 79 RBI, 10 stolen bases and 83 runs scored in 559 plate appearances.

numberFire's models expect Moncada to bat .275 with a .831 OPS in 227 plate appearances this season while recording 10 homers, 30 RBI, 33 runs scored, and 4 steals.
