Unfortunately for White Sox hopeful anticipating a callup, it will be as a participant in the Sirius XM All-Star Futures Game. He'll join fellow prospects and Zack Collins as the White Sox team representatives for the game in Miami on July 9. As far as when Moncada will eventually break through to the Majors, White Sox management said nothing is set in stone.
"We're going to continue to monitor him there, talk with our player development folks," White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said. "Once it comes time for him to have that next stage of development in Chicago, we'll see him up here."
Moncada had another strong week, knocking his second homer in a five-game stretch on Wednesday night for Triple-A Charlotte and earning an International League All-Star bid along the way.
The 2017 Futures Game takes place on Sunday, July 9, at 4 p.m. ET at Marlins Park in Miami and can be viewed live on MLB Network and MLB.com.
