Moncada may be forced to skip winter ball due to a bruised right hand, WEEI.com reports.
The plan was for Moncada to play under former Red Sox infielder Alex Cora in Puerto Rico this winter, but he's still feeling the effects of a HBP during a recent instructional league game. Moncada, 20, lived up to expectations in his first season in affiliated baseball, posting an .817 OPS while going 49-for-52 on the basepaths with Low-A Greenville. Look for him to make the jump to High-A to begin 2016.
