Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday in a loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas put the Angels on the board and tied the game in the second inning with a 415-foot blast to center field. It was the veteran slugger's second homer in as many days and his fourth in 14 games since joining the Halos on June 24. Moustakas is hitting just .240 with his new team, though, and has struck out at a troublesome 33.3 percent rate.

Moustakas went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 13-12 extra-inning win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas' seventh-inning blasted tied the game at 9-9, erasing a six-run deficit. He's hit three homers in 13 games with the Angels after swatting just four in 47 contests with the Rockies to begin the year. The infielder is slashing .261/.341/.435 with 24 RBI, 27 runs scored and seven doubles over 185 plate appearances overall, primarily serving in a strong-side platoon role.

Moustakas is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Red-hot left-hander Blake Snell is taking the ball for the Padres, so Moustakas will take a seat. Hunter Renfroe will get a start at first base Monday, with Luis Rengifo handling right field.

Moustakas isn't in the Angels' lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas is 4-for-17 with a home run and two RBI through five games since joining the Angels, and he'll get a day off Saturday. Hunter Renfroe will make a rare start at first base in Moustakas' absence, allowing Mickey Moniak to start in right field and bat in the leadoff spot.

Moustakas went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-7 loss to the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas gave Anaheim a 2-1 lead with a solo shot off Lance Lynn in the second inning, his fifth homer of the season and first since joining the Angels. The 34-year-old infielder is now 4-for-13 (.308) in four games since he was traded from the Rockies. Overall, he's slashing a respectable .273/.364/.445 with 19 RBI and 22 runs scored across 151 plate appearances this season. Moustakas could continue to see regular at-bats with Gio Urshela (pelvis) out for the season and Anthony Rendon (wrist) still working his way back.

Mosutakas was acquired by the Angels on Saturday for right-handed pitcher Connor Van Scoyoc, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas was signed to a minor-league contract by the Rockies and made the Opening Day roster, and the veteran infielder has hit .270/.360/.435 over 115 at-bats in 47 games with four homers and 17 RBI. The 34-year-old should see time at first base with the Halos and play mostly against right-handed pitching while hitting in the mid-to-bottom part of the lineup.

Moustakas isn't in the Rockies' lineup Friday against the Angels, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels will send southpaw Patrick Sandoval to the mound Friday, meaning Moustakas will retreat to the dugout. Elehuris Montero will start at first base instead and bat eighth.

Moustakas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Moustakas had started at first base in three of the Rockies' last four games, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday while Cincinnati brings a southpaw (Andrew Abbott) to the hill. Elehuris Montero will replace Moustakas at first base.

Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas made only his second start in the last eight games, with Elehuris Montero instead taking over primary duties at first base. He did manage to take Bryce Elder deep in the fifth inning for his fourth homer of the season and second in his last 15 at-bats. Even with that production, Moustakas appears destined for a bench role and could be in jeopardy of losing his roster spot once C.J. Cron (back) is able to return.
