The White Sox placed Moncada (hamstring) on the 10-day disabled list Saturday.

Moncada exited Friday's game against the Twins with left hamstring tightness that initially cropped up Wednesday. The 22-year-old indicated a few days of rest would be beneficial, and it's not overly surprising to see the White Sox exercise some caution. Jose Rondon was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte for added infield depth, with Leury Garcia and Yolmer Sanchez also options to fill in at second base.

Duffy went 3-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Friday.

Duffy continues to produce from the top half of the order, as he's now 10-for-28 with two doubles and a run over his last six games. The hot-hitting third baseman has a trio of multi-hit games during that stretch, and his early production hints at a potential bounce-back season after injuries wiped out all of 2017.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's loss to the Royals.

Candelario extended his hitting streak to six games, and he has three two-hit performances during that span. The 24-year-old is now slashing a strong .290/.362/.516 in his first full season in the majors after posting a .283/.359/.425 line in 38 games with the Tigers last year.

Escobar went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's win over the White Sox.

Escobar hit a solo home run in the second inning, another solo shot in the third and an RBI double in the fifth. He also took a walk and got caught stealing. Escobar is hitting .350 over his last 15 games, bringing his OPS up to 1.010 on the year. The 29-year-old now has a league-leading 14 doubles and his .316 batting average is good for fourth among MLB shortstops.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Yankees.

It's his ninth homer of the season and second in as many days. The red-hot Ramirez also has five multi-hit performances in his last six contests, boosting his slash line to .293/.383/.577.

Devers went 3-for-4 with two home runs in Friday's 5-1 victory over the Rangers.

The home runs were both solo shots and are Devers' fifth and sixth of the season as he's started May with a 7-for-18 stretch. The 21-year-old now carries a .276/.326/.488 slash line with 23 RBI in 123 at-bats this season.

Moncada (hamstring) indicated two-to-four days of rest could help his hamstring injury, James Fegan of The Athletic Chicago reports.

Moncada started experiencing left hamstring tightness Wednesday and was held out of Thursday's game, but returned to the lineup Friday only to exit during the fifth inning. The White Sox have an off-day Monday before hosting a two-game series against the Pirates, when the 22-year-old is hopefully able to return.

Moncada exited in the bottom of the fifth inning of Friday's game against the Twins, Dan Hayes of The Athletic Minnesota reports.

Moncada drew a one-out walk and appeared to gingerly return to first base following Yolmer Sanchez's flyout to center field. The 22-year-old was out of Thursday's lineup with hamstring tightness and that remains the issue Friday as well. He should be considered day-to-day for the time being. Moncada was replaced at second base by Leury Garcia, with Adam Engel taking over in center field.

Urshela (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day DL and subsequently designated for assignment prior to Friday's game.

Urshela will be subject to waivers after returning from a lengthy rehab assignment during which he went 12-for-37 (.324 average) with four extra-base hits and seven RBI in 11 minor-league games. The infielder just couldn't crack a spot on the Indians' active roster and will likely be plucked off the waiver wire by another organization. Over 67 games with Cleveland in 2017, he hit .224/.262/.288 with 15 RBI.

Moncada (hamstring) is back in the lineup Friday against the Twins.

Moncada missed his first game of the season Thursday while dealing with a hamstring issue. The young second baseman has six homers and four steals through 28 games. He's hitting a strong .268/.359/.518, though those numbers should fall a bit when his .414 BABIP regresses.
