Yoán Moncada Fantasy Stats

The Los Angeles Angels re-signed third baseman Yoan Moncada to a one-year, $4 million deal on Wednesday, sources told Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Moncada, 30, will return to the Angels for a second season despite disappointing with a .234/.336/.448 slash line in 2025 with 12 home runs, 35 RBI, and 39 runs scored in 84 games and 289 plate appearances. As has been the story for most of Moncada's MLB career, he missed most of the year with ankle, knee, and hand injuries. In his 10 years in the big leagues, the Cuban switch-hitter has played in over 100 games only four times. Moncada has hit 20-plus long balls just once in his career, back in 2019 with the Chicago White Sox. His last full season was in 2021, so fantasy managers certainly need to bake in missed time for Moncada's 2026 profile. Moncada should be avoided in mixed fantasy leagues.

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. Moncada will be away from the team in order to take his U.S. citizenship test. It's unclear when he'll be back with the team, but he shouldn't be gone longer than a game or two. In a corresponding move, infielder Niko Kavadas has been recalled from Triple-A. Oswald Peraza will take over the hot corner for Moncada during Tuesday's game.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada (hand) will make his return to the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Moncada is back in the mix after missing the previous three games. He was hit in the hand by a pitch during Saturday's game and sat out a few games as a result. Moncada will cover third base and bat sixth versus right-hander Nathan Eovaldi on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups and make sure Moncada is in there.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada (hand) is out of the lineup again Tuesday as he deals with a right hand contusion. The 30-year-old switch hitter was hit by a pitch on July 26 and was removed from the game. Fortunately, X-rays came back negative, and he remains day-to-day. 31-year-old Kevin Newman will start in Moncada's place, hitting ninth. Moncada has struggled at times this season but remains a valuable piece of the lineup. Through 42 games, he is slashing .216/.321/.455 with solid power from both sides of the plate.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Kevin Newman will fill in for Moncada at third base and bat ninth versus Rangers ace Jacob deGrom. Moncada hasn't played since he left a loss to the Seattle Mariners on Saturday after taking a pitch off the hand. X-rays came back negative, but the Angels are playing it safe with Moncada. The 30-year-old is a trade candidate whose time with the Angels could be running out with the deadline coming up on Thursday. Moncada has only played in 42 games this year, but he has reportedly drawn interest from contending teams.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada (hand) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This news comes a day after Moncada was forced to exit early during Saturday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the hand. The X-rays came back negative, so it appears Moncada has avoided any serious injuries. The Halos will play it safe and give Moncada the day off on Sunday. For now, fantasy managers should consider Moncada as day-to-day. Kevin Newman will cover third base and bat ninth versus right-hander Logan Gilbert.
