The Angels reinstated Moore (thumb) from the 10-day injured list, and he will start at second base and bat eighth Sunday versus the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Moore has been sidelined for the past month due to a thumb sprain but will rejoin the 26-man active roster after going 5-for-11 with two doubles and a home run during a four-game rehab assignment at Single-A Inland Empire. In his first 18 MLB games prior to the injury, the 22-year-old had yet to get on track for the Halos with a .189/.302/.396 slash line and 31.2 percent strikeout rate, though he has showcased his power potential with three long balls.

Moore (thumb) will kick off a minor-league rehab assignment with Single-A Inland Empire on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore has been on the IL since July 3 due to a sprained left thumb. He resumed baseball activities late last week and has been playing catch, fielding grounders and swinging a bat. Moore could be back with the Angels in a matter of days, though it's unclear how the Angels will manage the infield upon his return. Luis Rengifo has been starting at second base of late and hitting well, while Yoan Moncada is the starter at third base, though he's currently sidelined by a hand injury.

Moore (thumb) has started baseball activities, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore was called up by the Angels from Triple-A Salt Lake in mid-June and played in 18 games for the big club before landing on the IL in early July due to a left thumb sprain. His return to baseball activities is an encouraging sign, and the 23-year-old will look to progress enough in his recovery to swing a bat.

The Angels placed Moore on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a left thumb sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Moore suffered the injury during Wednesday's contest in Atlanta while making a diving play on a grounder in the sixth inning. The rookie infielder will be eligible for activation the weekend before the All-Star break, but thumb sprains can often take multiple weeks to heal. Kevin Newman figures to be the immediate beneficiary of Moore's absence, but the Angels could get Yoan Moncada (knee) back soon, which would allow Luis Rengifo to shift to second base to cover for Moore.

Moore was pulled from Wednesday's game versus Atlanta due to left thumb irritation.
EDGE Analysis
Moore injured his thumb while making a diving play on a grounder in the sixth inning. The severity of the 23-year-old's injury remains unknown, but if he ends up needing to miss any time, Kevin Newman would likely benefit from extra starts at the keystone.

Moore was removed from Wednesday's game against Atlanta due to an apparent wrist injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore landed awkwardly on his left hand/wrist while diving for a groundball in the sixth inning and immediately came out of the game. He'll presumably head in for imaging to determine the extent of the damage done, and the Angels should provide more information on his status in the near future.

Moore went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
All three of Moore's homers have come over the last five games, and this was also his first multi-hit effort in the majors. He initially tied the game at 1-1 with a solo shot in the eighth inning before adding a walk-off blast in the 10th. The 22-year-old is now batting .194 over 12 games, adding four extra-base hits, six RBI, five runs scored, no stolen bases and a 2:14 BB:K. Moore continues to play regularly at second base as the Angels see what their top hitting prospect can do against major-league pitchers.

Moore went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie second baseman took Bryan King deep in the seventh inning to tie the game at 2-2. It was Moore's first career homer, and the eighth overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft has started six of eight games since his promotion, batting .182 (4-for-22) with a 1:7 BB:K as he gets his bearings in the majors.

Moore is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt versus the Yankees, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore has gone 1-for-13 with five strikeouts to kick off his major-league career, and Wednesday marks the second time in six games that he'll be absent from the lineup. Scott Kingery will cover second base and bat eighth for the Angels on Wednesday.

Moore went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in a 1-0 extra-innings win against the Yankees on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
After getting called up from the minors Friday, Moore began his major-league career with no hits through nine plate appearances. He got into the hit column in fine fashion Monday, stroking a triple to center field in the eighth inning. Moore also scored the only run of the game, coming around on a Nolan Schanuel double in the 11th inning after beginning the frame on second base as the automatic runner. Moore has started three of the Angels' four games since his call-up, so he looks to be getting an opportunity for a near-everyday role, at least while Yoan Moncada (knee) remains on the IL.
