CHICAGO -- White Sox right-hander Reynaldo López was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with right shoulder soreness after an MRI performed in Chicago showed inflammation.

López left in the first inning of Sunday’s 14-2 loss to the Twins after throwing the seventh pitch of an at-bat to Marwin Gonzalez and his 38th pitch in the frame. He grimaced in pain and bent over on the mound, leading manager Rick Renteria and the training staff to check on him.

“We got him under some medication,” said bench coach Joe McEwing. “Hopefully, the inflammation within the 10 days will resolve.”

Gio González will be the rotation replacement for López, per McEwing’s comments Monday. González allowed six runs on seven hits over 3 2/3 innings in relief Sunday in his first career appearance for the White Sox. He was originally projected to be part of the rotation after agreeing to a one-year, $5 million deal as a free agent this past offseason.

Ross Detwiler and Jimmy Lambert remain other starting or long relief options. Dane Dunning, currently working at the team’s alternate training site in Schaumburg, Ill., also is in the mix.

Renteria being checked out
Prior to Monday’s scheduled game with the Indians, the White Sox issued the following statement from general manager Rick Hahn concerning Renteria’s health:

“Manager Ricky Renteria awoke this morning with a slight cough and nasal congestion. After consulting with our team doctors, Ricky underwent precautionary testing today at a Cleveland hospital.”

Out of an abundance of caution, Renteria was to remain at the team hotel and not manage until the club received confirmation of Monday’s test result, with McEwing running the team in Renteria’s absence. But the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

“I’ve spoken with Ricky a couple of times today so far. Just precautionary,” McEwing said. “He says he feels great, he feels fine. Just being very cautious.”

Renteria’s news came on the same day that games between the Marlins and Orioles and Phillies and Yankees were postponed by Major League Baseball due to COVID-19 concerns. First baseman José Abreu received an 8 a.m. call Monday from his agent, who expressed a feeling of concern for himself and everybody around the league.

“It’s definitely a difficult time for everybody,” Abreu told MLB.com, through interpreter Billy Russo. “For us, it’s just try to take the smallest precaution as we can and try to get through it. But it’s definitely a very difficult time.”

Yoán Moncada, who was out of action until July 16 after testing positive for COVID-19 in the intake process, said his teammates are taking the plans laid out very seriously.

“Everybody's following the protocols,” said Moncada through Russo. “They know that this is something that's very serious. This coronavirus stuff, it's not something to mess around with. Everybody's taking the most precautions they can. I can say for myself, it's a very, very serious thing.”

Jiménez feeling better
Eloy Jiménez threw some and hit off a tee Monday, after the left fielder ran into the wall at Guaranteed Rate Field while chasing a Jake Cave grand slam in the first inning of Sunday’s loss. McEwing said Jiménez, who stayed in the game until the second inning, was feeling better Monday.

Although Jiménez does not have a concussion, he’s being monitored by the team in that same sort of protocol. McEwing listed him as day to day.

Third to first
• Right-handed reliever Ian Hamilton was recalled by the White Sox from the alternate training site prior to Monday’s postponed game. The White Sox also purchased the contract of infielder Ryan Goins from Schaumburg and designated infielder Cheslor Cuthbert for assignment. Their 40-man roster stays at 40.

• Moncada was part of Monday’s lineup after getting an off-day Sunday. It was a break from throwing for the third baseman, although he said the throwing program he has used since his return is working.

“I've been feeling good with the program, thankfully,” Moncada said. “I think it's a good program. Today I feel pretty good. It's something good for me. I just need to be working on that and following that program.”

• Catcher/utility player Yermin Mercedes and right-hander Matt Foster make up the White Sox taxi squad for this road trip.

He said it
“He did great in those first three games. He did great and he had a lot of fun. I still think that he can do more than what we saw from him this past weekend.” -- Moncada on Luis Robert, the No. 3 prospect in baseball per MLB Pipeline.
