Mickey Moniak Fantasy Stats

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak (ankle) is heading to the 10-day injured list on Friday with a right-ankle sprain, which he has been trying to play through since crashing into the outfield wall in Pittsburgh last week, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com. Outfielder Sterlin Thompson has been called up from Triple-A Albuquerque and is starting in Friday's series opener in Arizona against the division-rival Diamondbacks. Since crashing into the outfield wall, Moniak has gone hitless in 13 at-bats, so the Rockies finally decided to shut him down. With Jordan Beck (hamstring) also on the IL for Colorado, Thompson could see regular playing time in the Rockies' outfield with Moniak now sidelined. The 28-year-old Moniak has been great for fantasy managers who picked him up off the waiver wire this year, hitting .280 (42-for-150) with 12 home runs, 28 RBI, 21 runs scored, and a stolen base in 43 games across 164 plate appearances. He has liked hitting at Coors Field and broke out last year in his first season with the team to the tune of a .270/.306/.518 slash line with 24 long balls, 68 RBI, and nine steals in 135 games played. If you have the room, Moniak is worth stashing while he recovers from his ankle sprain.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak continues to be money for fantasy managers in his second season with the Rockies. The 28-year-old former first overall pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2016 continued to rake on Wednesday night in a 10-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park, going 3-for-5 at the plate with a three-run home run, a triple, five RBI, and a strikeout to raise his season average to .315 and his OPS to 1.051. He finished a single shy of the cycle and blasted his 12th home run of the season off right-hander Mitch Keller in the fifth inning. Moniak is proving that last year's breakout in his first year in Colorado wasn't a fluke. He's now slashing .315/.358/.693 with 12 homers, 26 RBI, 12 runs scored, and a stolen base in 137 plate appearances across 35 games in 2026. The crazy part is that he's rostered in under 70% of Yahoo leagues. Run to the waiver wire and pick him up immediately if he's still available in your league.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak is a hot bat worth scooping off the waiver wire. The former first-overall draft pick is in the midst of an eight-game hit streak that has pushed his season-long slash line to .324/.347/.750 with a .326 wOBA and 182 wRC+. The left-handed hitter has belted eight home runs so far this year, tied for fourth-most in the majors, and is coming off a 24-home run campaign in 2025. The drawback for fantasy is that he rarely sees opportunities against left-handed pitchers, logging just 11 plate appearances against them in 2026 compared to 61 plate appearances against right-handers. Still, with the power he's been displaying, especially at Coors Field, the 27-year-old is a must-add in most leagues, particularly those that allow daily lineup changes. The 6-foot-1 slugger is still available in over 60 percent of Yahoo! leagues for the taking and is worthy of the use of a high-priority waiver claim or FAAB bid.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak had a fantastic day at the plate on Thursday in the Rockies' 10-8 loss to the San Diego Padres. Moniak went 4-for-5 with three runs scored, two RBI, and two home runs. Moniak is now slashing .324/.347/.740 on the season with eight home runs, 15 RBI, 14 runs scored, and one stolen base. Additionally, he is seeing everyday playing time in the Rockies' lineup and batting near the top. While Moniak is a career .247 hitter with a .743 OPS, last season, which was his first with the Rockies, he had a career-high .824 OPS and 24 home runs, while hitting .270. Moniak has now put together a very solid sample size in a Rockies uniform over the past two seasons, having played in 154 games, hitting 32 home runs, and recording 139 hits over 502 at-bats (.276 average). With this type of production, Moniak has entered must-start territory, especially when he is playing at Coors.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak extended his hitting streak to seven games in the team's 8-3 win over the visiting San Diego Padres on Wednesday night at Coors Field in Denver. Moniak went 2-for-4 at the plate with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored out of the third spot in the batting order. The 27-year-old former first overall pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2016 is now hitting .286/.313/.651 with a .964 OPS, six home runs, 13 RBI, 11 runs scored, and a stolen base across 67 plate appearances in 18 games played in his second year in Colorado. During his seven-game hitting streak, Moniak has gone 9-for-26 (.346) with a homer, five doubles, four RBI, five runs scored, and a stolen base for the Rockies. He's still much more attractive in fantasy baseball when he's playing at home at hitter-friendly Coors Field, but after a 2025 breakout, Moniak is quickly becoming a must-start hitter in fantasy lineups, and he's only rostered in 30% of Yahoo leagues. If you're looking for a spark among fantasy outfielders, look no further than Moniak.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak is off to a strong start to the 2026 season, hitting .261/.300/.630 with five home runs, nine RBI, seven runs scored, and one stolen base across his first 50 plate appearances of the season. So far, the 27-year-old is backing up the power breakout he experienced in 2025, when he hit 24 home runs in 461 plate appearances with the Rockies. The lefty-swinging Moniak is still seeing most of his playing time against right-handed starting pitching, which limits his overall counting stat upside. He's also striking out at a 26% clip, so his batting average could come down over the course of the season. Still, Moniak has proven he can be effective in a platoon role and should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak had a fun homecoming in the third game of the series in San Diego on Saturday against the Padres in a 9-4 loss at Petco Park. Moniak, who went to high school in the San Diego area, went 4-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, four RBI, and a strikeout to raise his season average to .300 and his OPS to 1.113. The 27-year-old former first overall pick in 2016 by the Philadelphia Phillies has found a home in Colorado, at least against right-handed pitching. Moniak broke out in 2025 in his first year with the team, slashing .270/.306/.518 with an .824 OPS, 24 home runs, 68 RBI, 62 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in 461 plate appearances over 135 games. His two homers on Saturday night brought him to five on the year while also adding nine RBI. Although he has limitations against lefties (.491 career OPS), he has become a post-hype prospect, especially in the hitter-friendly environment at Coors Field. Moniak is only rostered in 15% of Yahoo leagues, but he should attract more interest to close out the week after his two-homer game on Saturday.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak launched his third home run of the season on Tuesday in a 5-1 win over the Houston Astros. Moniak now has three home runs in his last three games and is pushing to secure his everyday role with Colorado after posting an .824 OPS in 135 games last season. The 27-year-old also hit 24 home runs last year, 10 more than any previous season, signaling potential for more to come from the young lefty. Moniak is now slashing .278/.278/.778 with a 1.056 OPS in five games this season and is enjoying a power surge early as he looks to take the next step offensively.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak put on a show against his former team, the Philadelphia Phillies, in Sunday's 4-1 victory at Coors Field. Moniak finished the day 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a strikeout. Both of Moniak's long balls came against veteran right-hander Taijuan Walker, who allowed a total of three homers on the day. The 27-year-old left-handed hitter began the 2026 regular season on the 10-day injured list due to a finger injury, but he's back now and is looking for an encore after a career year in Colorado in 2025. The former first overall pick by the Phillies in 2016 hit .270/.306/.518 with an .824 OPS, 24 home runs, 68 RBI, 62 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in his 135 games last year in his first year with the Rockies. In his first three games in 2026, he's gone 3-for-9 with the two home runs. At least at hitter-friendly Coors Field, Moniak can be a nice depth outfielder in fantasy baseball who will play regularly against right-handed pitching.

The Colorado Rockies activated outfielder Mickey Moniak (finger) from the 10-day injured list on Friday, and he will hit third in the team's home opener at Coors Field against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Aaron Nola, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Moniak is hitting third in the batting order. The 27-year-old will be making his 2026 season debut after suffering a right ring finger sprain just before the start of the regular season. The former first overall pick by the Phillies in 2016 had a breakout season in 2025 with the Rockies, slashing .270/.306/.518 with an .824 OPS, 24 home runs, 68 RBI, 62 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in 461 plate appearances over 135 games played. He definitely receives a boost in hitter-friendly Coors Field in the high altitude in Denver, and he should be a lineup regular for Colorado against right-handed pitchers. Moniak has never faced Nola in his six-year major-league career.
