PHOENIX _ Yoan Moncada caused a minor social-media stir Monday morning when he posted a photo of himself with a filter that showed he was in Chicago.
However, the top White Sox prospect did not arrive to prepare for a big-league call. Instead he was seeing a Sox specialist to examine his sore left thumb, which landed the infielder on the disabled list at Triple-A Charlotte last week.
Moncada received confirmation that the injury is just a bruise, and Sox general manager Rick Hahn said Monday they hope he can return to playing "in the coming days."
"It goes back a few weeks," Hahn said. "It started getting a little more swollen and aggravated him a little more. He didn't want to go on the DL. But we decided to take a little time here, get it 100 percent."
