Moncada was pulled from Saturday's contest versus Seattle after being hit by a pitch in the right hand, though X-rays returned negative, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada was plunked by a George Kirby fastball in the sixth inning and was in noticeable pain afterward. He was immediately replaced at first base by Kevin Newman and subsequently went in for X-rays. Though those X-rays returned negative for a fracture, Moncada is considered day-to-day for now. He went 0-for-2 with the hit-by-pitch before his exit.

Moncada is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The switch-hitting Moncada is on the bench for the Angels' third straight matchup with a lefty starter (Sean Manaea), so he might be in the strong side of a platoon. Chris Taylor will handle third base and bat ninth as the Angels try to avoid the sweep.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada will take a seat for the second time in the first three games of the second half, with both his absences coming against left-handed pitchers. The switch hitter has gone 2-for-19 versus southpaws this season, which stands in stark contrast to his .945 OPS against righties. Kevin Newman is starting at third base Sunday, as it appears he and Moncada are working in a loose platoon.

Moncada isn't part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada started six straight games after being activated from the 10-day injured list July 8. However, the third baseman is out of the lineup for the Angels' first game coming out of the All-Star break. Kevin Newman will bat ninth and play third base in Moncada's place.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The third baseman took Ryne Nelson deep in the first inning, the second Angels homer of the frame and Moncada's first in four contests since returning from his latest IL stint. The 30-year-old's name has been bandied about in trade rumors, but he may need to show he can stay healthy on the other side of the All-Star break to draw much interest -- Moncada's been in the lineup for only 34 games so far this season, slashing .232/.326/.491 with seven homers and 21 RBI.

Moncada went 0-for-4 in his return to the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Starting at third base and batting sixth, Moncada was playing in his first game for the Angels in more than a month after battling right knee inflammation. With Moncada re-taking the third base job, Luis Rengifo shifted over to second base for the Halos on Tuesday.

Moncada (knee) is headed to Los Angeles to rejoin the Angels and is likely to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada has missed more than a month of action with right knee inflammation but appears set to return after going 4-for-9 with a homer in three rehab games with the Angels' Arizona Complex League affiliate. The 30-year-old should regain his role as the Halos' primary third baseman, with Luis Rengifo shifting over to second base to cover for Christian Moore (thumb).

Moncada (knee) is beginning his rehab assignment Friday in the Arizona Complex League.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada has been on the shelf since June 1 with right knee inflammation and was sent to the ACL earlier this week, but Friday will be his first game action. Moncada slashed .237/.336/.505 with six home runs and zero steals in 30 games before the injury. He has a .268 ISO after not logging an ISO higher than .165 since 2019.

Moncada (knee) has been sent to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League Angels to begin a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada's recovery from right knee inflammation has dragged on longer than expected, but he is finally ready to play in games again. The veteran infielder should eventually move up to a higher minor-league affiliate as he continues his rehab assignment and could return in early July.

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.
