Moncada reached base safely four times in High-A Salem's season opener Thursday and then went 0-for-3 with a walk Friday.
Moncada, considered Boston's top prospect by some observers, is batting leadoff and playing second base for Salem. Long-term, he may move off second base, but the Red Sox will have no problem finding a spot for him on the field. He's had experience at third base and a move to the outfield has been considered since he signed with Boston.
