Moniak is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Texas, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak started the past 11 games but posted a .387 OPS during that span, and he'll receive a day to reset Tuesday. Jordyn Adams will start in center field and bat ninth against Rangers lefty Jordan Montgomery.

Moniak went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Mariners on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak has been slumping lately, slashing just .179/.233/.286 with a 50 percent strikeout rate over seven games since his 17-game hitting streak came to an end July 28. However, the outfielder hasn't been entirely absent for his fantasy managers during that stretch, as he has a homer and a pair of steals despite the poor hitting. Moniak has played well enough this season to hold down an everyday spot even in the midst of a cold spell, especially while Mike Trout remains out with a wrist injury. Moniak is slashing .312/.345/.563 with 12 long balls, 16 doubles, 37 RBI, 30 runs and five thefts overall through 226 plate appearances.

Moniak (foot) is back in the lineup Thursday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak sat out Wednesday's series finale in Atlanta due to nagging foot soreness, but he will be in center field and bat sixth as the Angels open a four-game set versus Seattle. The 25-year-old former Phillies prospect has broken out to the tune of a .317/.349/.566 batting line with 11 homers and four steals through 55 games (215 plate appearances) this season with the Halos.

Moniak has been dealing with a sore foot, though he's been playing through it, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak reportedly hurt his foot when fouling a ball off it during the Angels' recent series in Toronto. The outfielder isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against Atlanta, but it isn't clear if he's getting a routine maintenance day or if the foot issue necessitated the day off. Jordyn Adams was recently recalled from the minors to provide extra outfield depth, though there's been no indication that Moniak will need to miss any time.

Moniak is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jordyn Adams will get a look in center field in his first career MLB start while Moniak heads to the bench in what appears to be little more than a routine maintenance day. Moniak had started in every game since July 4, producing an .815 OPS while scoring and driving in 11 runs over a stretch of 21 contests.

Moniak went 1-for-5 with a steal in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first stolen base for Moniak since July 18 as he improves to 4-for-6 on attempts this season. The 25-year-old outfielder has at least one hit in 18 of his last 19 games-- he's gone 28-for-82 (.341) in that span. Moniak's slash line is up to a robust .321/.354/.582 with 11 homers, 35 RBI and 28 runs scored across 206 plate appearances this season.

Moniak went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, one additional RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak extended his hitting streak to nine games, and this was his third three-hit effort in that span. The outfielder opened the scoring in the first inning with his homer and added an RBI single for the last run of the game in the fifth. He continues to impress in what's becoming a breakout campaign. Moniak is at a .336/.369/.645 slash line with 11 homers, 32 RBI, three steals and 24 runs scored through 160 plate appearances. He'll likely continue to see the majority of the playing time in center field while Mike Trout (wrist) is sidelined.

Moniak went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak has frequently batted out of the leadoff spot for the Angels this season, but he was slotted in as the team's cleanup hitter for Friday's contest. The move paid off when Moniak drove home Shohei Ohtani with a fifth-inning single that brought Los Angeles to within a run. It's possible that Moniak will continue batting in the heart of the order, as rookie Zach Neto hit leadoff in his return from the injured list and the team may be looking for more run production behind Ohtani with Mike Trout (wrist) out of action until at least early August. Moniak has shined thus far in his first full season with the Angels, posting a .319/.348/.644 slash line, 10 home runs, 12 doubles, 29 RBI and two steals over 141 plate appearances.

Moniak went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run Friday in a loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers built an early 4-0 lead before Moniak got the Angels back in the game with his three-run shot off Tony Gonsolin in the fourth inning. It was the third homer in the past seven games for the outfielder, and he's racked up eight RBI during that span. Moniak looks to be in line for near-everyday playing time during the long-term absence of Mike Trout (wrist). Moniak sits with a .310/.341/.651 slash line, 10 homers, 28 RBI and two steals over 132 plate appearances since being called up from the minors in mid-May.

Moniak is starting in center field and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak is slated to receive the bulk of the playing time in center field for the Angels with Mike Trout (wrist) going down. The 25-year-old has been a pleasant surprise for the Halos this season, posting a .307/.336/.658 batting line with nine home runs over 34 games. He'll now be asked to carry a heavier load, although Jo Adell looms if Moniak falters.
