Mickey Moniak News
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (illness) is feeling better on Monday and is starting in right field and batting eighth versus the Miami Marlins and right-hander Max Meyer. Moniak was scratched from the series finale against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday but is already feeling better and is back in the lineup. The 25-year-old former first overall pick in 2016 by the Philadelphia Phillies has seen his fantasy stock fall since the end of last year in Anaheim due to the addition of outfielder Aaron Hicks. He's also in the eight-hole on Monday, which won't really endear him to any DFS managers. In two plate appearances through the team's first three games, Moniak has gone hitless. He'll look for his first hit of 2024 in his first start of the season.
Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington said that he envisions second baseman Luis Rengifo or outfielder Mickey Moniak batting leadoff this year. Washington also sees first baseman Nolan Schanuel as the No. 2 hitter in front of outfielder Mike Trout and third baseman Anthony Rendon. Meanwhile, shortstop Zach Neto will hit ninth in the batting order. The 26-year-old switch-hitting Rengifo has fared better against left-handed pitchers, so it would make sense for him to hit leadoff against southpaws, while Moniak hits atop the lineup against right-handers. Between second and third base, Rengifo should play regularly for the Halos in 2024, although his modest power and speed makes him a bench bat in deep-mixed fantasy leagues, at best.
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.
