Moniak went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and two runs scored Wednesday against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak accounted for the majority of the Angels' offense on the day, ripping a two-run homer in the third inning while also coming around to score after recording a two-out double two frames later. Moniak has all three of his long balls on the season in his last nine starts, and he's hitting .265 with six RBI and seven runs scored in that span. Despite the strong stretch, he's had an underwhelming season in the majors by maintaining only a .183/.221/.354 line across 87 plate appearances.

Moniak is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
While the Angels faced right-handed starting pitchers in the past three contests against Houston, Moniak was included in the lineup each time and went 3-for-12 with a pair of extra-base hits and a stolen base. He'll take a seat Monday against Guardians lefty Konnor Pilkington, but the lefty-hitting Moniak could end up settling into the large side of a platoon in the outfield with the righty-hitting Jo Adell.

Moniak went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak got the start in left field for the second straight game since he was activated from the injured list. He was able to pick up a steal in the in the second inning after a single. The outfielder has just one multi-hit effort this year in 25 games between the Angels and the Phillies. He's slashing .164/.211/.269 with two home runs, five RBI, eight runs scored and a steal through 72 plate appearances. It appears Moniak is poised to challenge Jo Adell for a platoon role in left field, which would see the former earn most of his playing time versus right-handed pitchers.

Moniak (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak will ultimately return to the Angels ahead of their three-game series with the Astros on Friday instead of rehabbing through the weekend, as was previously reported. The outfielder will provide Los Angeles an additional depth option down the stretch. Moniak has produced a .167 average with two homers, five RBI and eight runs scored over 60 at-bats in 23 games this year with the Phillies and Angels.

Moniak (finger) will likely continue his rehab stint with Triple-A Salt Lake through this weekend, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak has been out of action for over a month, so the team isn't rushing his return. He participated in his first rehab game with Salt Lake on Wednesday, swatting a solo home run in five at-bats. Moniak could see ample playing time upon his return with the Angels likely to be evaluating their roster for next season.
