Moncada went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 2-1 win against the Reds on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Offense was sparse on both sides, and Moncada hit the only homer in the contest with a solo shot to center field in the fourth inning. The long ball snapped a 20-game homer drought for the third baseman dating back to July 19. Moncada batted a meager .208 with 19 strikeouts during that rough stretch, though he may be turning things around -- over his past eight contests, he's batting .333 (8-for-24) with three extra-base hits and four RBI.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada, who had stepped away from the Angels to take his U.S. citizenship test, wasn't in the lineup Friday after rejoining the team, but he started at third base in Saturday's 7-4 win, going 0-for-2 with a run scored. The 30-year-old will retreat to the bench Sunday and may have to split time at third base with Luis Rengifo now that Christian Moore is healthy and handling the keystone.

The Angels reinstated Moncada from the restricted list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada will be away from the team during Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay in order to take his U.S. citizenship test, per Erica Weston of Bally Sports West, and he'll aim to rejoin the team ahead of Friday's series opener in Detroit. Meanwhile, the Angels will start Oswald Peraza at the hot corner and bring up Niko Kavadas from Triple-A to replace Moncada on the active roster.

EDGE Analysis

After missing three straight games due to a hand injury, Moncada returned to the lineup Wednesday and went 1-for-9 with a walk and a run while starting at third base in each of the subsequent three contests. With the Angels bringing back Christian Moore (thumb) from the injured list Sunday, he'll step in at second base while Luis Rengifo shifts over to the hot corner, leaving no room in the lineup for Moncada. In an effort to open up steady at-bats for all of Moore, Moncada and Rengifo, the Angels could opt for something resembling a three-man committee between the second- and third-base spots for the foreseeable future.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada missed three consecutive starts after getting hit on his right hand by a pitch Saturday, though he entered Tuesday's game off the bench and went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a run scored. He'll now rejoin the starting nine for Wednesday's series finale and aim to turn things around after going 3-for-19 at the plate to begin the second half.

Moncada (hand) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada will miss a third consecutive start Tuesday after taking a pitch off his right hand during Saturday's game against the Mariners. It's worth noting the Angels are slated to face left-hander Patrick Corbin on Tuesday, and Moncada doesn't typically start against southpaws, so there's still a chance the veteran third baseman will be available off the bench.

Moncada (hand) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada was hit by a pitch Saturday and will now miss his second consecutive contest. X-rays, however, did come back negative, so Moncada continues to be viewed as day-to-day. Kevin Newman will make another start at third base and bat ninth Monday versus Texas. In his first season with the Halos, Moncada is slashing .216/.321/.455 with eight home runs, 22 RBI, 21 runs scored and an 18:39 BB:K across 156 plate appearances. He's played in just 42 games in another injury-riddled campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada is nursing a right hand contusion after he was knocked out of Saturday's 7-2 loss when he was struck by a pitch. Fortunately for Moncada, X-rays came back negative, so the Angels are optimistic that he'll be able to return to the lineup after getting at least one day off. Kevin Newman will spell Moncada at third base Sunday.
