Moncada was back at the hot corner in this one following a three-game absence due to a left ankle ailment. The 30-year-old third baseman should avoid a trip to the injured list and be a full-go for the final week of the regular season.

Moncada continues to be hobbled by a left ankle injury, though as of yet there haven’t been any rumblings about him potentially requiring a trip to the injured list. Luis Rengifo will once again cover the hot corner in his absence and will bat fifth for the Halos against Quinn Priester and the Brewers on Thursday evening in Milwaukee.

Moncada appears to have avoided serious injury since precautionary X-rays came back negative for any fractures after he was hit by a pitch on the right hand by Mariners starter George Kirby during Saturday’s game. The 30-year-old third baseman has been plagued by physical issues this season, which have limited him to just 42 games in his Angels debut. He’s presumably day-to-day heading into Monday’s series opener against the Rangers.

Moncada was plunked in the hand with two strikes and looked to be in a good deal of pain. The infielder will likely undergo imaging to see if there’s any structural damage, and there should be an update on his status before Sunday’s finale against Seattle.

A little bit of a surprise considering Moncada was in the lineup on a consistent basis prior to the All-Star break. Hopefully this is just a day off for the 30-year-old, but for now, Kevin Newman is playing third and hitting ninth.

Moncada has his first homer since returning from the injured list from right knee inflammation Tuesday. The 30-year-old has shown some solid power in his limited action in 2025 with seven homers and a .491 slugging percentage, and he’s gotten on base at a decent .326 clip. It’s nice to be reminded of the player who was once universally considered the best prospect in baseball.

Moncada has performed well when he’s been able to take the field this season, hitting .237/.336/.505 in 30 games. If this calms down quickly, he could return in 10 days. Until then, the Angels figure to use Luis Rengifo at third and go with Scott Kingery and Kevin Newman at second. Kingery is starting tonight.

Moncada was replaced by Kevin Newman at third base to open the sixth inning after going 1-for-2 with a double. The 30-year-old infielder will head for further evaluation to determine the severity of the issue. The positive news is that it’s unrelated to the thumb issue that was bothering him earlier this season. There should be an update on his status ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Guardians.

Moncada rejoins the Angels’ lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Blue Jays following a nearly one-month absence recovering from a right thumb sprain. The 29-year-old is no longer a mixed league-relevant fantasy contributor at this juncture of his career, but he represents an upgrade for Los Angeles at the hot corner over Tim Anderson.

He went 0-for-2 with two walks and has started at DH for two games as he works his way back from a thumb sprain. If his thumb continues to feel good, he will then progress to playing the field and move his way up in the minor league system before a return is considered.
