Yoán Moncada - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

On bench in Moore's return Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact After missing three straight games due to a hand injury, Moncada returned to the lineup Wednesday and went 1-for-9 with a walk and a run while starting at third base in each of the subsequent three contests. With the Angels bringing back Christian Moore (thumb) from the injured list Sunday, he'll step in at second base while Luis Rengifo shifts over to the hot corner, leaving no room in the lineup for Moncada. In an effort to open up steady at-bats for all of Moore, Moncada and Rengifo, the Angels could opt for something resembling a three-man committee between the second- and third-base spots for the foreseeable future.

In Wednesday's lineup Moncada (hand) will start at third base and bat sixth Wednesday against the Rangers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Moncada missed three consecutive starts after getting hit on his right hand by a pitch Saturday, though he entered Tuesday's game off the bench and went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a run scored. He'll now rejoin the starting nine for Wednesday's series finale and aim to turn things around after going 3-for-19 at the plate to begin the second half.

Sitting again Tuesday Moncada (hand) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Moncada will miss a third consecutive start Tuesday after taking a pitch off his right hand during Saturday's game against the Mariners. It's worth noting the Angels are slated to face left-hander Patrick Corbin on Tuesday, and Moncada doesn't typically start against southpaws, so there's still a chance the veteran third baseman will be available off the bench.

Remains idle Monday Moncada (hand) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Moncada was hit by a pitch Saturday and will now miss his second consecutive contest. X-rays, however, did come back negative, so Moncada continues to be viewed as day-to-day. Kevin Newman will make another start at third base and bat ninth Monday versus Texas. In his first season with the Halos, Moncada is slashing .216/.321/.455 with eight home runs, 22 RBI, 21 runs scored and an 18:39 BB:K across 156 plate appearances. He's played in just 42 games in another injury-riddle campaign.

Out Sunday with hand injury Moncada (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Moncada is nursing a right hand contusion after he was knocked out of Saturday's 7-2 loss when he was struck by a pitch. Fortunately for Moncada, X-rays came back negative, so the Angels are optimistic that he'll be able to return to the lineup after getting at least one day off. Kevin Newman will spell Moncada at third base Sunday.

Injures hand, X-rays negative Moncada was pulled from Saturday's contest versus Seattle after being hit by a pitch in the right hand, though X-rays returned negative, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Moncada was plunked by a George Kirby fastball in the sixth inning and was in noticeable pain afterward. He was immediately replaced at first base by Kevin Newman and subsequently went in for X-rays. Though those X-rays returned negative for a fracture, Moncada is considered day-to-day for now. He went 0-for-2 with the hit-by-pitch before his exit.

Out of Halos' lineup Moncada is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Mets.

Impact It marks the third straight time that the switch-hitting Moncada has been out of the lineup against a lefty (in this case, Sean Manaea), so he might be in a long-side platoon. Chris Taylor will handle third base and bat ninth as the Angels try to avoid the sweep.

Hitting bench Sunday Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Moncada will take a seat for the second time through the first three games of the second half, with both his absences coming against left-handed pitchers. The switch hitter has gone 2-for-19 versus southpaws this season, which is a stark contrast to his .945 OPS against righties. Kevin Newman is starting at third base Sunday, as it appears he and Moncada are working in a loose platoon.

Pops first homer since return Moncada went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact The third baseman took Ryne Nelson deep in the first inning, the second Angels homer of the frame and Moncada's first in four contests since returning from his latest IL stint. The 30-year-old's name has been bandied about in trade rumors, but he may need to show he can stay healthy on the other side of the All-Star break to draw much interest -- Moncada's been in the lineup for only 34 games so far this season, slashing .232/.326/.491 with seven homers and 21 RBI.
