The White Sox released Moustakas on Friday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas joined the White Sox on a minor-league contract Feb. 14 after spending 2023 with both the Rockies and Angels. He didn't show much production during spring training as he slashed .195/.283/.317 with one home home run and two RBI over 41 at bats. Moustakas will look to catch onto another team's roster should he clear waivers.

Moustakas is competing with Gavin Sheets for the final roster spot with the White Sox, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas isn't currently on the 40-man roster, and he hasn't made much of a case to stick with the team with his play. Across 41 plate appearances in the Cactus League, he's struck out 29.3 percent of the time and has only two extra-base hits. Even so, he could be on the right side of the competition, as Sheets has one minor-league option remaining.

Moustakas signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Wednesday and received an invitation to major-league spring training.

EDGE Analysis

After a solid start to the season with the Rockies in 2023, Moustakas' production fell sharply upon being traded to the Angels in late June. He slashed just .236/.256/.371 across 250 plate appearances with the Halos. The 35-year-old Moustakas will have a chance to make the White Sox's Opening Day roster, but he would likely be limited to a reserve role with the big-league club.

Moustakas is out of the lineup Friday versus the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Michael Stefanic will start at third base and Brandon Drury will serve as the Angels' designated hitter with left-hander Ken Waldichuk toeing the slab for Oakland. Moustakas has posted a weak .542 OPS against southpaws this season.

Moustakas isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas will sit Tuesday after an 0-for-4 performance in Monday's series opener. Michael Stefanic will move to third base while David Fletcher starts at second and bats ninth.

The Angels reinstated Moustakas (forearm) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas landed on the IL with a strained left forearm Sept. 15, and he'll return from injury just in time to replace C.J. Cron (back), who went on the injured list Sunday. Moustakas was 9-for-35 with three RBI and a run scored since Sept. 1 before getting injured.

The Angels placed Moustakas on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left forearm extensor strain.

EDGE Analysis

This could be a season-ending injury for the veteran infielder given where it lands on the baseball calendar. Kyren Paris has been brought back from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding roster move ahead of Friday's series opener against the Tigers.

Moustakas (wrist) is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Seattle, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas had to leave Tuesday's game versus the Mariners due to left wrist soreness, so it's no surprise he's sitting out Wednesday's afternoon affair, especially with an off day looming Thursday. Eduardo Escobar is at third base in the series finale.

Moustakas was removed from Tuesday's game against Seattle due to left wrist soreness.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels didn't provide details on how long Moustakas might be out for, but he will nonetheless join a long list of Angels that are currently battling some sort of injury. Fantasy managers should consider Moustakas day-to-day going forward.

Moustakas isn't in the Angels' lineup Friday against the Guardians, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

With left-hander Logan Allen on the mound for Cleveland, the left-handed bat of Moustakas will stay put in the Halos' dugout to start Friday's game. Eduardo Escobar will man the hot corner instead and bat third.
