The White Sox halted Moncada's (adductor) minor-league rehab assignment Monday due to what manager Pedro Grifol referred to as "anticipated soreness," LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Grifol suggested that Moncada isn't dealing with a setback in his recovery from a left adductor strain, but the infielder's rehab program has been paused for the time being while he's not feeling fully comfortable. On the shelf since early April with the injury, Moncada started up his rehab assignment July 9 in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, going 8-for-15 with one double in five contests. Moncada will be re-evaluated before the White Sox determine when he might be ready for game action in the minors.
