Mickey Moniak Fantasy Stats

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a sprained right ring finger, per Rockies beat writer Thomas Harding. Catcher Braxton Fulford has been recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to take Moniak's place on the Rockies' active roster. Moniak had a breakout season in his first year with Colorado in 2025, hitting .270/.306/.518 with 24 home runs, 68 RBI, 62 runs scored, and nine stolen bases across 461 plate appearances. He lowered his strikeout rate to a career-low 23.9% while posting a career-high 13.5% barrel rate. The 27-year-old lefty swinger was expected to fill a big-side platoon role as both a corner outfielder and designated hitter in 2026, but his start to the season will be delayed by this finger issue. Rockies outfielders Jake McCarthy and Jordan Beck are likely more secure in their playing time in Moniak's absence, while first baseman/outfielder Troy Johnston and utility man Ryan Ritter could both see an uptick in at-bats. The promotion of Fulford could also indicate that the Rockies plan to give star catcher Hunter Goodman more reps at designated hitter while Moniak is sidelined.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak (finger) was removed from Monday night's Cactus League game out of an abundance of caution after hitting his right ring finger while diving back to first base, according to Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette. Manager Warren Schaeffer thinks Moniak "will be fine." The 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now, and he should be fine for Opening Day later this week. Moniak broke out in his first year in Denver in 2025, hitting .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 became more selective at the plate, which lowered his strikeout rate. The drawbacks are that his numbers weren't as good on the road, and he still has issues against left-handed pitchers. Fantasy managers should limit their exposure to Moniak only at home against right-handed arms, where he can do plenty of damage.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak (oblique) has been cleared to make his spring debut on Wednesday afternoon. The outfielder will serve as the team's designated hitter and bat in the leadoff spot. Moniak has been dealing with some lingering oblique tightness, but did not have to wait long to make his spring debut. Managers should continue to monitor his status as he may be cleared to return to the outfield in the coming days. Last season, the former first overall pick put together a career season with the Rockies, posting a .270/.306/.518 line with a strong .824 OPS. Across 135 games, Moniak launched 24 home runs while adding nine stolen bases. Managers should expect Moniak to continue to see a close to an everyday role in the Colorado lineup in 2026. However, he may occasionally sit against southpaws, which could limit his overall upside.

The Colorado Rockies and outfielder Mickey Moniak have agreed to a one-year, $4 million contract to avoid arbitration. The former first overall pick enjoyed a resurgent campaign in Colorado last summer and appears slated for an everyday role once again in 2026. Last summer, through 135 games with the Rockies, Moniak posted a .270/.306/.518 slash line with 20 doubles, 24 home runs, and nine stolen bases. Under the hood, the 26-year-old generated a solid .339 xwOBA with an elite .491 xSLG. However, his value does take a hit in points leagues, given the high 23.9% K% and 28.2% whiff rate he held. Last season, Moniak operated as the primary leadoff man against right-handed pitching but was mostly kept on the bench when facing a southpaw. Moniak is an intriguing late-round pick in five-outfielder formats when looking for a depth option with some power upside.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak led the team to a 6-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday with an excellent offensive showing. Moniak got off to an auspicious start with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning against White Sox starter Shane Smith. The 27-year-old later added a single and a triple to finish 3-for-4 with three RBI and a stolen base. Moniak has been on a torrid run for over a month, having hit .354 (23-for-65) with eight homers, five doubles, two triples, and 17 RBI since June 1. Thanks to his recent stretch of success, the former No. 1 overall pick is slashing a solid .257/.303/.532 with 13 homers, 32 RBI, 30 runs, five steals, and a career-best 24.4% strikeout rate in 234 plate appearances. Unsurprisingly, Moniak has done most of his damage at hitter-friendly Coors Field. He has a .900 OPS at home and a .692 mark on the road.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak stayed hot in a 4-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Moniak went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer to lead Colorado to the win. The veteran outfielder's three-run shot came in the fifth inning, erasing a 2-1 Arizona lead. Moniak is now slashing .245/.295/.500 with 11 homers, 27 runs, 27 RBI, and three steals across 192 at-bats for the Rockies. He has been red-hot at the plate of late, hitting .319 with six homers over his past 15 games. The 2016 No. 1 overall draft pick is certainly enjoying hitting in the thin air in Colorado and is worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-4 road win against the Washington Nationals. He also tripled and scored twice. Moniak's eighth home run of the season came off Nationals' pitcher Kyle Finnegan, and it was a clutch one. The 27-year-old stepped up to bat in the top of the ninth with a runner on after teammate Hunter Goodman smashed a solo shot a few batters earlier to knot up the score at 4-4. Moniak was down in the count when he yanked a painted Finnegan fastball over the right-field wall. It's his third homer in his last six appearances, and he's also notched four two-hit outings in that span.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak had a productive game in his team's 8-7 win over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. Moniak went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and two runs scored to help down San Francisco in the comeback victory. The veteran outfielder was a key part of the comeback as he cut the Giants' lead to 7-3 with his solo homer in the sixth inning. Moniak is now batting .227 with seven homers, 21 runs, 18 RBI, and two stolen bases across 163 at-bats this season. He is on a modest hot streak, with a .278 average and two homers over his past seven contests.

The Rockies announced that they have placed outfielder Mickey Moniak on the bereavement list and recalled fellow outfielder Sean Bouchard from Triple-A Albuquerque. Moniak went 2-for-3 with a home run in the Rockies' loss to the Mets on Friday, but this season has been a struggle for the former No. 1 overall pick. He's hitting .220/.269/.409 with six HRs in 171 plate appearances. Bouchard has picked up 72 plate appearances in the majors this year and logged an ugly .169/.250/.246 line with one HR.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Adael Amador, first baseman Michael Toglia and outfielder Mickey Moniak are all on the bench for Thursday's series finale at Coors Field against the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Ranger Suarez. Aaron Schunk is at the keystone and is hitting eighth, Kyle Farmer is playing first base and batting seventh, and Tyler Freeman is in right field and in the six-hole. Freeman is the only one of the trio that has faced Suarez in his career, and he's gone hitless in seven at-bats. Amador will take a seat after starting each of the last six games. The young infielder has hit just .158 (12-for-76) with a homer and steal as the regular second baseman. The switch-hitting Toglia will sit for a second straight game and could continue to lose more playing time while leading the league with 71 strikeouts in 166 at-bats.
