Moncada said Saturday that he still has pain in right knee and that he is frustrated by his slow progress from the injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada landed on the IL on June 2 due to right knee inflammation, and he's now been out of action for three weeks. While the veteran infielder stated Saturday that he has been "feeling better," he also shared that the knee pain hasn't gone away. Moncada explained that he's seen multiple doctors who have told him that the pain will eventually subside, but he expressed frustration that the issue isn't yet resolved. Due to the lingering pain, Moncada hasn't been able to swing right-handed or participate in any defensive drills, so he doesn't appear to be close to a return to game action.

The Angels placed Moncada on the 10-day injured list Monday with right knee inflammation.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada injured the knee last Wednesday and had missed two of the last three contests before the Angels decided to make a roster move. It's the second trip to the IL this season for Moncada, who previously missed a month of action with a thumb injury. Luis Rengifo is likely to see the bulk of the starts at third base while Moncada is out.

Moncada is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada returned to the lineup Saturday and went 2-for-4 with a solo homer after sitting out one game due to knee soreness, but he's back on the bench Sunday. There's been no indication that the veteran third baseman aggravated the injury, so he could just be getting a rest day. Luis Rengifo will shift to third base while Scott Kingery receives a start at the keystone.

Moncada (knee) is not in Friday's lineup against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
He ran on the field before the game and the team waited to see how he felt before finalizing the lineup, so it seems like Moncada is day-to-day after being removed from Wednesday's game with knee soreness. Luis Rengifo will man third base and bat ninth while Scott Kingery starts at the keystone, batting eighth.

Moncada was removed from Wednesday's game against the Yankees with right knee soreness.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Moncada's injury remains unknown, but the Angels will likely have more information on his status once they take a closer look at him. Kevin Newman entered as Moncada's replacement at third base in the sixth inning and could be in line to start at the hot corner if the 30-year-old is unable to play against the Guardians on Friday.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Yankees on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels entered the ninth inning on the verge of being shut out, but Moncada got the team on the board with a solo blast off Devin Williams. The long ball was his first extra-base hit over his past four games, a stretch in which he's gone 2-for-14 at the plate. Moncada continues to work as the Angels' primary third baseman, and despite a .222 batting average, he's done some positive things at the plate, including recording five homers and 18 RBI along with a 12.6 percent walk rate over 27 contests.

Moncada is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada has now been absent from the lineup two days in a row, and that's come after he hit a three-run homer Tuesday. The infielder has dealt with a nagging thumb issue, although there's no indication that that's the reason for his exclusion from the Angels' lineup. Kevin Newman is at third base and batting eighth Thursday.
