White Sox 3B Moncada helped off with hip injury

CLEVELAND -- Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoán Moncada had to be helped off the field after injuring his left hip in the second inning Tuesday night.

Moncada was running to first base after hitting a grounder when he pulled up and collapsed short of the bag.

As he writhed in pain on the ground, Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor helped comfort Moncada before a Chicago trainer reached him.

Moncada laid in the infield dirt for a few minutes before being helped to his feet and was assisted to the dugout and clubhouse.

The White Sox said Moncada suffered a left adductor (hip) strain.

"I feel for him because he was in some severe pain," said White Sox manager Pedro Grifol, who added Moncada will be evaluated and undergo medical imaging tests on Wednesday.

Before the game, Grifol said Moncada had been dealing with a nagging hip/adductor injury the past few days and had been getting treatment, but didn't expect the injury to keep him out of the lineup.

"I don't know if it's the same thing," Grifol said. "I don't think it is."

Moncada's injury is just the latest for Chicago, which is already missing outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hip flexor) and slugger Eloy Jimenez (adductor).

"It sucks," said Dominic Fletcher, who hit a two-run double in the eighth inning as the White Sox snapped a five-game losing streak with their first road win, 7-5. "You hate to see guys go down with Eloy and Robert as well. That's a lot of good hitters in our lineup that are missing, so guys gotta step and continue to play hard."

Moncada singled in the first inning as Chicago, which came in 1-9 and had scored just 16 runs, scored five times off Cleveland's Logan Allen.

Nicky Lopez replaced Moncada at second base in the bottom of the second.

Moncada batted .260 with 11 homers and 40 RBIs in just 92 games last season.
