Moniak went 1-for-2 with a grand slam and an additional run during Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak flipped the game on its head in the fourth inning, giving the Halos a three-run advantage after swatting his first career grand slam at the expense of Mitch Spence. The center fielder is batting .220 with three home runs, four steals and 18 RBI since Mike Trout (knee) got hurt in late April.

Moniak is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
EDGE Analysis
After starting in each of the past four games, the lefty-hitting Moniak will hit the bench while the Giants open the game with a left-hander (Erik Miller). Kevin Pillar -- who had made four straight starts in left field -- will slide over to center field in Moniak's stead.

Moniak went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak produced the Angels' first run with a solo shot to center field in the second inning. Though he's still posting an ugly .194/.241/.300 slash line on the season, the outfielder has been heating up of late. Moniak has hit safely in seven straight games, batting .391 (9-for-23) with four extra-base hits, six RBI, four runs and two stolen bases while starting in center field in all but one contest during that stretch.

Moniak went 3-for-5 with a triple, two doubles, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 8-6 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak supplied a two-run double in the third inning. He's hit safely in his last six games, going 8-for-19 (.421) with five RBI, four walks and two stolen bases in that span. Kevin Pillar has been excellent since joining the Angels in May, but he'd been platooning with Moniak until recently. With Taylor Ward slumping, there's room for Pillar in left field and Moniak in center, though the latter will have to keep hitting to maintain his consistent playing time. Moniak is slashing .192/.241/.282 with two home runs, six doubles, one triple, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored and four steals over 166 plate appearances this season.

Moniak went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak remains cold at the plate, going 3-for-32 with seven strikeouts over his last 10 contests. The steal was his third of the season, though he's hardly gotten on base enough to make much of an impact in that area. He's slashing .163/.197/.234 with two home runs, nine RBI and 12 runs scored over 147 plate appearances. Despite Moniak's obvious struggles, he's maintained a strong-side platoon role in center field while the hot-hitting Kevin Pillar functions as more of a fourth outfielder.

Moniak isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game against San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Moniak is not in the Angels' lineup versus the Yankees on Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak did not start in Tuesday's contest against the Yankees, but he did come off the bench as a pinch runner to score a run. The lefty hitter will take a seat Thursday with left-handed Carlos Rodon on the mound. The outfielder did get three plate appearances when he started Wednesday but did not reach base. With the 26-year-old out of the lineup, Kevin Pillar will start in center and bat cleanup.

EDGE Analysis
