Moncada (knee) went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada returned to the Angels' lineup Saturday after missing Friday's contest due to right knee soreness. He put the Halos on the board in the third inning with a solo home run, and he came around to score in the fifth on a Mike Trout double. Moncada will end the month of May with a .253/.329/.573 slash line with six home runs and 15 RBI in 85 plate appearances.

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.

Moncada isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada will get a breather after going 2-for-5 with a three-run homer during Tuesday's victory. While he sits, Luis Rengifo will fill in at third base with Tim Anderson at the keystone.

Moncada went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada provided a quick response to the Athletics' three-run fourth inning, countering with a three-run shot in the fifth to tie the game at 4-4. The third baseman has hit fairly well since returning from a sprained right thumb May 6, going 12-for-49 (.245) with four homers and 13 RBI over his last 13 games. He's at a .229/.349/.486 slash line through 83 plate appearances on the year.

Moncada (thumb) is starting at third base and batting third Sunday against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada was held out of Saturday's lineup after departing Friday's contest with the thumb issue, but he's back in the starting nine for Sunday's series finale. The 29-year-old missed most of April due to a sprained thumb but appears to have avoided a serious aggravation this time around.

Moncada was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers with an apparent thumb injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada missed nearly a month of action while on the injured list because of a sprained right thumb, and he appeared to aggravate it during a swing in the ninth inning. If the 29-year-old ends up having to miss any more time due to his latest flare-up, Kevin Newman and Tim Anderson would be the leading candidates to pick up playing time in the infield.

Moncada went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Moncada now has two games under his belt since returning from a nearly month-long stint on the injured list, and he's homered in each contest while driving in four runs. The veteran third's baseman's long ball Wednesday was a 386-footer to right field for his team's first run. Moncada has struggled to stay healthy in recent campaigns, but he has a chance to return to fantasy relevance as the Angels' primary third baseman if he can put those injury issues behind him.
