Rookie second baseman Yoan Moncada will return for the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night in Boston, but outfielder Willy Garcia has been diagnosed with a fractured right jaw and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, the team announced Thursday.
Garcia will undergo a procedure to insert a plate into the jaw after he was injured and concussed during a frightening collision with Moncada against Toronto on Monday.
The team said Garcia's fractured jaw was found in a CT scan taken Wednesday.
Garcia and Moncada were chasing Darwin Barney's bases-loaded blooper when the second baseman kneed a sliding Garcia in the head.
