Moniak (hand) took swings prior to Friday's game against Houston and could return to the Angels' lineup Saturday, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Moniak hasn't swung a bat in a game since Sept. 15, though he did enter as a pinch runner against the White Sox on Wednesday and took four balls in a plate appearance later in the contest. Manager Ron Washington said the outfielder was slated "to do some serious swinging" Friday, and how Moniak rebounds from that session could determine whether he's ready to return to the lineup Saturday. Jordyn Adams (knee) has covered center field for most of Moniak's absence, though Kevin Pillar manned the position Friday upon his return from the injured list.

Moniak (hand) scored a run and drew a walk after coming off the bench in the 11th frame of Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Moniak didn't start for the third straight game, but he came into the contest to pinch run for Brandon Drury in the 11th frame. The outfielder scored the game-tying run and subsequently remained in the contest as Los Angeles' designated hitter. Moniak then logged a plate appearance in the 12th inning, though he didn't swing the bat, drawing a walk on four consecutive balls. Per Kyle Glaser of Baseball America, Moniak didn't swing due to his hand injury. It's unclear when he will be ready to return to the Angels' lineup.

Moniak (hand) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moniak hasn't played since being hit in the hand by a pitch Sunday, although the left-handed-batter might not have been in the lineup Wednesday, anyway, with the White Sox starting southpaw Jared Shuster. Jordyn Adams will start in center field for the Angels in the series finale.

Moniak (hand) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Moniak will be on the bench for a second game in a row after suffering a hand injury in Sunday's matchup with the Astros. Jordyn Adams will draw another start in center field and bat eighth versus Chicago.

Moniak (hand) is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the White Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moniak had to exit Sunday's contest against the Astros after being hit in the hand by a pitch. Initial tests came back clean and he's listed on Monday's lineup card as a reserve, although it's not clear whether he'll be available off the bench. Jordyn Adams is in center field Monday.

Moniak suffered a hand contusion in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moniak was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning, ultimately being removed from the contest as a result. The initial tests following the game showed a contusion, but he will undergo additional examinations. The outfielder finished his day 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of Monday's series opener with the White Sox.

Moniak went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to Houston on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Moniak's fourth-inning solo shot was the Angels' only extra-base hit in the contest. The long ball off Yusei Kikuchi was Moniak's first this season against a lefty -- he's gotten just 32 at-bats against southpaws and is batting .188 against them. With that in mind, he'll likely continue to sit most days when Los Angeles faces a left-handed starter.

Moniak is absent from the lineup for Thursday contest versus the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Moniak has been the Angels' best hitter lately in popping five home runs over his last seven games, but southpaw Cody Bradford is starting for the Angels and the left-handed hitting Moniak rarely starts against lefties. Kevin Pillar will occupy center field and bat cleanup.

Moniak went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Moniak's first hit in September was a first-inning homer that set the tone for the Angels' romp to a win. The outfielder has swatted five homers and driven in 10 runs over his last seven games. For the year, he's up to a .231/.274/.402 slash line with 13 homers, a career-best 47 RBI, 43 runs scored and six stolen bases over 110 contests. He continues to see a strong-side platoon role in center field, sharing the position with Kevin Pillar.

Moniak went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in Saturday's win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Moniak grounded out in each of his first two trips to the plate before crushing a two-run shot in the seventh to tie things up and give him his second consecutive game with a home run. He then walked it off for the Angels in the ninth with his second long ball of the night. The outfielder has been scorching hot at the plate as of late and has now recorded multiple hits in four straight, homering four times over that stretch while driving in seven runs. Moniak has also tallied at least one RBI in each of his last four contests.
