Honestly, he is going to be the starting 3B if he only has 1 day of practice provided he’s healthy. This lineup can/will cover down for him if he struggles early getting into the swing of things and the upside that he brings far outweighs the idea of easing him into the lineup and playing a guy like Mendick or Cuthbert at 3rd base whose production would probably be about what Moncada gives you during a slow start anyways.

Not to mention, if he's really *that* rusty, this lineup is so stacked that you could just shift him from 2 to like 7/8 and let him ramp up. Like you said, his worst days would still be the same or better than the best of Cuthbert types

And how rusty is he really likely to be compared to the others?  I mean, if he's asymptomatic it's not like he's in a hospital bed.  I'd expect he's staying in shape and maybe even taking BP.  And it's not like these others guys have been together for months.  Sure, it would be better if he'd had a week and a half of extra practice and intrasquad, but the difference between his situation and others' is just not that great.
