Yoán Moncada starts the season on IL
Yoán Moncada struggled through spring, and part of the reason is now revealed: He’s been trying to play through an oblique strain.The White Sox released their 28-player Opening Day roster on Thursday, and it came packed with one surprise: Yoán Moncada hitting the 10-day IL to start the season, due to a mildly-strained (Grade 1) oblique muscle.
(The IL switches this year, back to 15 days, but not until the expanded roster period is over and teams return to 26, not 28, players.)
The White Sox announced other 10-day IL stints, none surprising:
RHRP Ryan Burr (retroactive to April 4; right shoulder strain)
RHRP Joe Kelly (retroactive to April 4; right biceps nerve injury)
