Moniak went 3-for-5 with a double and a run against the Nationals in a 6-4 win Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak has now compiled multiple hits in three straight games and in five of his six contests in August. During the latter stretch, he's slashing .440/.440/.640 with a home run, two doubles, five runs and three RBI.

Overall, Moniak hasn't been much of a fantasy asset with a .226/.265/.355 slash line, seven homers, 34 RBI, 35 runs and six steals through 313 plate appearances.

Moniak went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak has swung a hot bat in July, going 11-for-37 (.297) over 10 games this month. Four of those hits have gone for extra bases, and he's added five RBI and six runs. The outfielder is slashing .211/.255/.333 with five home runs, six steals, 28 RBI and 27 runs scored through 77 contests overall, and he should maintain a starting role in center field until Mike Trout (knee) is able to return.

Moniak went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's win over Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Moniak gave the Angels a 4-1 lead with his three-run homer in the bottom of the second and later added a single, giving him his second multi-hit effort in his last three games. Over that brief stretch he's batting .333 (4-for-12) with two extra-base hits, five RBI and three runs scored. However, Moniak's average on the season still sits at .198 following Wednesday's performance, and he's batting .222 in July (6-for-27). The home run was his fifth of the campaign and his first since his grand slam against Oakland on June 25.
