Yoán Moncada Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada (ankle) remains sidelined for Thursday's contest in Milwaukee against the Brewers. Luis Rengifo is making another start at the hot corner for the Halos and is hitting fifth against Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester. Moncada injured his ankle on Sunday and has not played since. The oft-injured 30-year-old Cuban infielder continues to struggle with injuries in his first year in Anaheim, and he comes into Thursday's action having appeared in only 77 contests in 2025. The switch-hitter hasn't really been valuable in shallow-mixed fantasy leagues, as expected, with a .240/.343/.464 slash line, .807 OPS, 12 home runs, 34 RBI, and 39 runs scored in his 271 plate appearances. Rengifo has been pretty much the same player this year, with less power and modest speed (10 steals) in his 479 at-bats.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada (ankle) exited an 11-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Sunday with soreness in his left ankle. Moncada went 0-for-2 before the Angels subbed in Oswald Peraza for him in the bottom of the fifth inning. It's unclear if Moncada will miss any more time, but with the Angels idle on Monday, he'll have at least one day to recover. The oft-injured Moncada has been on the 10-day IL twice this year - once for a sprained thumb, then for knee inflammation - which has limited him to just 77 games. Moncada hasn't played more than 104 games in a season since 2021, but he has been productive when healthy this year. The switch-hitter has put together a .240/.343/.464 line with 12 homers, 34 RBI, and 39 runs scored in 271 plate appearances.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Cubs. Moncada's home runs accounted for two of the Angels' three hits on the night, and it was his second straight game with a home run. It has been another injury-riddled season for the 30-year-old, limited to just 59 games, but he's now up to 11 home runs despite the limited playing time, and is 10-for-28 (.357) over his last nine games, including two doubles, three home runs, six RBI, and five runs scored. Season-long fantasy managers may shy away, but the switch-hitter could be a sneaky DFS play while he's hot.

The Los Angeles Angels reinstated infielder Yoan Moncada from the restricted list on Friday and optioned infielder Niko Kavadas to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move. Moncada is back with the Halos, but he won't start in Friday's series opener in Detroit against the Tigers. Luis Rengifo is at third and will bat sixth against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. The 30-year-old Moncada was away from the team in order to get his U.S. citizenship. The Cuban switch-hitter should play occasionally for the Angels at third base now that he's back. Moncada can provide a little bit of pop but hasn't provided a whole lot of anything for fantasy managers in deeper leagues in 2025. He's returning to a weak .221/.320/.436 slash line with a .756 OPS, eight home runs, 24 RBI and 24 runs scored in only 48 games in his first year in Anaheim.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada has been placed on the restricted list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
