Yoan Moncada has had a rash of errors in June. The White Sox second baseman has six this month — all since June 9 — including four in the last four games and two in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader against the Athletics.

On the season, he’s one behind Sox shortstop Tim Anderson for the fifth most errors in baseball with 11 and first among second basemen.

After one of A’s first baseman Matt Olson’s grounders slipped underneath his reach on Friday, a second Olson grounder kicked off the heel of his glove.
