Mickey Moniak Back From Injured List

The Los Angeles Angels reinstated outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and optioned left-hander Kolton Ingram and infielder Jared Walsh to Triple-A Salt Lake after Wednesday's game. The Angels also reinstated right-hander Chase Silseth (concussion) from the seven-day injured list. Moniak will return for the first time since Sept. 5 with left-back tightness. The 25-year-old should see regular starts in the final three games of the regular season this weekend for the Halos. The former first overall pick of the 2016 draft has had by far the best season of his MLB career in Anaheim in 2023, hitting .280/.307/.490 with 13 home runs, 21 doubles, two triples, 43 RBI, six stolen bases and 33 runs scored in 83 games.

Mickey Moniak Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. This news isn't shocking considering Moniak hasn't played in roughly 10 days due to a lingering back issue. He'll be joined on the injured list by fellow infielder Mike Moustakas (forearm) on Friday. In a corresponding move, infielder Kyren Paris and outfielder Jordyn Adams have been recalled from Triple-A. Both players have struggled during their brief time in the majors this season. The expectation is that they will get significant playing time down the stretch of the season.

Mickey Moniak Not Playing Monday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) is not in his team's lineup for a Monday matchup against the Seattle Mariners. Moniak will miss his sixth straight game after getting scratched from the lineup last week with back tightness. A trip to the injured list hasn't been ruled out at this point, although it remains to be seen how the Angels choose to proceed. Moniak is hitting .280 with 13 homers and 43 RBI in 2023.

Mickey Moniak To Miss Third Straight Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. This is the third straight game that Moniak has missed due to back tightness. For now, Moniak is considered as day-to-day, so hopefully he'll be able to avoid a trip to the injured list. In the meantime, Brett Phillips will patrol center field and bat ninth versus right-hander Lucas Giolito on Saturday. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Sunday for another update on Moniak.

Mickey Moniak To Miss Another Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Moniak was scratched ahead of Thursday's contest due to back tightness. It appears he's still dealing with the issue, so he'll miss at least one more game. The fact he hasn't been placed on the injured list means it's hopefully only a day-to-day issue. In his absence, Brett Phillips will cover center field and bat eighth versus left-hander Logan Allen on Friday.

Mickey Moniak Scratched With Back Tightness

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak was scratched from Thursday's game against the Cleveland Guardians with back tightness. Moniak was initially in the lineup as the center fielder, hitting sixth in the order, but was taken out and replaced by Brett Phillips. There hasn't been any news about the severity of the issue, so Moniak's fantasy owners will want to keep an eye on his status tomorrow. The lefty has struggled mightily since mid-July, seeing his OPS drop from 1.013 to .797 in that time. He can be dropped in all but the deepest of leagues.

Mickey Moniak Returns Against A's

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) has returned to center field and is hitting eighth in the order on Friday against the Oakland Athletics and left-hander JP Sears. Moniak didn't play on Wednesday but rested up during the off day and will return for the opener of a three-game series in Oakland this weekend. The 25-year-old left-handed hitter has thrived in his first season in Anaheim, although he's coming off a rough month of August in which he hit .202 (17-for-84) with two home runs, three doubles, a triple, six RBI, 38 strikeouts, two stolen bases and four runs scored in 24 games (22 starts). Moniak has gone just 9-for-52 (.173) with zero of his 13 home runs this year against southpaws, so fantasy managers will want to avoid him Friday.

Mickey Moniak Out With Back Injury

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Luis Rengifo is trying his hand at center field and will bat second, while Brandy Drury starts at the keystone and hits cleanup for the Angels against Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez. Moniak left Tuesday's game prematurely due to back soreness and he'll now sit out on Wednesday, but he should be considered day-to-day moving forward. With a day off coming on Thursday, hopefully he'll be back in action on Friday for the start of a series against the Oakland Athletics. The 25-year-old has had by far the best year of his career in his first full year in Anaheim in 2023, hitting .281 (80-for-285) with 13 home runs, 41 RBI, six stolen bases and 32 runs scored in 78 games.

Mickey Moniak Dealing With Back Tightness

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) left Tuesday's contest against the Philadelphia Phillies early after dealing with back tightness, according to Jeff Fletcher of the SoCal News Group. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day, and he won't be in Wednesday's lineup as it was already a scheduled day off. Moniak has broken out this year, posting a .281/.310/.498 slash line with 13 bombs, 32 runs, 41 RBI, and six stolen bases over 78 games. However, the former first-overall pick's at-bats are limited due to a .396 OPS off of southpaws. Moniak is still a solid outfielder in deeper formats, and hopefully, he can return soon.

Mickey Moniak Returns To Thursday's Lineup After Day Off

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (foot) has returned to Thursday's lineup versus the Seattle Mariners. The 25-year-old was out of action on Wednesday due to foot soreness, but he's back in the mix after a one-game respite. Moniak takes over in center field and bats sixth for the commencement of a four-game series vs. the M's in this one. The former No. 1 overall pick has been a revelation in 2023, posting top-50 roto value in fantasy with a .317 BA, 11 home runs, 35 RBI, 29 runs scored, and four stolen bases through 205 at-bats.

Mickey Moniak Dealing With Sore Foot

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (foot) is dealing with a sore foot after fouling a ball off of it, but he has been playing through the issue. It's part of the reason why the team called up Jordyn Adams. Moniak is likely to get a day off in the coming days. The 25-year-old didn't play at all in Wednesday's 12-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves, and he could also be held out for the start of a new series against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. It doesn't sound like Moniak is in danger of landing on the injured list, but it's something to watch. Moniak has been having a breakout season in his first full season in Anaheim, and he hit .309 (29-for-94) with three homers, five doubles, 14 RBI, two stolen bases and 11 runs scored in 23 games in July. Hopefully playing through his recent foot injury won't limit him offensively.

Mickey Moniak Prolongs Hit Streak Despite Shutout Loss

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 25-year-old looked to potentially be catalyzing a big Halos fourth inning with a leadoff single followed by a Taylor Ward walk and Mike Moustakas single, but Anaheim ultimately couldn't scratch a run. Moniak managed to extend his hitting streak to 13 games started, though, with the lone knock. The former No. 1 overall pick has written quite the 2023 comeback story, batting an eye-opening .333 with a .988 OPS, 11 home runs, 34 RBI and three stolen bases in 165 at-bats. Moniak should continue seeing the lion's share of center-field work in Mike Trout's (hand) stead.

Mickey Moniak Predictably Sitting Versus Lefty

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak will start on the bench Monday night when the club opens a series against the San Diego Padres and southpaw Blake Snell. Moniak hit his second homer in three games on Sunday afternoon but will predictably take a seat against a left-hander as he's made just 10 plate appearances against lefties this season versus 109 trips to the plate against right-handers. He's hitless in those 10 plate appearances against left-handers but has tattooed righties for a .333 average alongside a monstrous .381 isolated power, 1.072 OPS, and .447 wOBA. Luis Rengifo will take over in right field while Hunter Renfroe re-enters the starting lineup Monday night in San Diego.

Mickey Moniak Blasts Go-Ahead Homer

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak has been quietly having a good season through his first 28 games of the 2023 campaign. He came through as the hero during Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Moniak unleashed a 406-foot three-run home run to give the Halos a 4-2 lead. He finished the game 1-for-3, but that one hit was a clutch blast. Moniak is now slashing .307/.336/.658 with nine dingers and 24 RBI this season.
