Former Red Sox top prospect Yoan Moncada returns to Fenway. In eight games with Boston in September 2016, he went 4-for-19 (.211) and was traded to Chicago in the the Chris Sale deal. Since being called up by the White Sox on July 19, Moncada has hit .105/.261/.263 in 12 games. He has missed the last two games because of a right knee contusion.
Sean McAdam (Boston Sports Journal) reports that Red Sox ownership ordered Dave Dombrowski not to deal any of the team's top prospects at the trade deadline.
