On bench vs. lefty Moniak is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Moniak will begin Saturday's game in the dugout as the Rangers send southpaw Andrew Heaney to the mound. Kevin Pillar will start in center field and bat in the cleanup spot.

Idle Friday Moniak isn't in the Angels' lineup Friday versus Texas, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact Moniak will catch a breather Friday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Thursday's loss to the White Sox. While he sits, Taylor Ward, Kevin Pillar and Gustavo Campero will start across the Halos' outfield.
SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Exiting lineup Wednesday Moniak is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Moniak recently battled a hand injury, but he started each of the Angels' last three games and went 2-for-10 with a double, two walks, one stolen base and two runs. His absence from the lineup Wednesday looks to be maintenance-related.
SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Back in lineup Moniak (hand) is batting sixth and playing center field Saturday against the Astros.
Impact Moniak hasn't logged an at-bat since being hit in the hand by a pitch Sept. 15, so his inclusion in the lineup Saturday indicates he's over the injury. The center fielder is slashing .222/.226/.386 in 402 plate appearances this season.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Could return Saturday Moniak (hand) took swings prior to Friday's game against Houston and could return to the Angels' lineup Saturday, per MLB.com.
Impact Moniak hasn't swung a bat in a game since Sept. 15, though he did enter as a pinch runner against the White Sox on Wednesday and took four balls in a plate appearance later in the contest. Manager Ron Washington said the outfielder was slated "to do some serious swinging" Friday, and how Moniak rebounds from that session could determine whether he's ready to return to the lineup Saturday. Jordyn Adams (knee) has covered center field for most of Moniak's absence, though Kevin Pillar manned the position Friday upon his return from the injured list.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Enters off bench Wednesday Moniak (hand) scored a run and drew a walk after coming off the bench in the 11th frame of Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox.
Impact Moniak didn't start for the third straight game, but he came into the contest to pinch run for Brandon Drury in the 11th frame. The outfielder scored the game-tying run and subsequently remained in the contest as Los Angeles' designated hitter. Moniak then logged a plate appearance in the 12th inning, though he didn't swing the bat, drawing a walk on four consecutive balls. Per Kyle Glaser of Baseball America, Moniak didn't swing due to his hand injury. It's unclear when he will be ready to return to the Angels' lineup.
SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Remains out Wednesday Moniak (hand) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Moniak hasn't played since being hit in the hand by a pitch Sunday, although the left-handed-batter might not have been in the lineup Wednesday, anyway, with the White Sox starting southpaw Jared Shuster. Jordyn Adams is in center field for the Angels in the series finale.

Not starting Tuesday Moniak (hand) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the White Sox.
Impact Moniak will be on the bench for a second game in a row after suffering a hand injury in Sunday's matchup with the Astros. Jordyn Adams will draw another start in center field and bat eighth versus Chicago.
SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Absent from Monday's lineup Moniak (hand) is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the White Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact Moniak had to exit Sunday's contest against the Astros after being hit in the hand by a pitch. Initial tests came back clean and he's listed on Monday's lineup card as a reserve, although it's not clear whether he'll be available off the bench. Jordyn Adams is in center field Monday.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers hand in loss Moniak suffered a hand contusion in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Moniak was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning, ultimately being removed from the contest as a result. The initial tests following the game showed a contusion, but he will undergo additional examinations. The outfielder finished his day 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of Monday's series opener with the White Sox.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Swats homer off lefty Friday Moniak went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to Houston on Friday.
Impact Moniak's fourth-inning solo shot was the Angels' only extra-base hit in the contest. The long ball off Yusei Kikuchi was Moniak's first this season against a lefty -- he's gotten just 32 at-bats against southpaws and is batting .188 against them. With that in mind, he'll likely continue to sit most days Los Angeles faces a left-handed starter.

Sitting against left-hander Moniak is absent from the lineup for Thursday contest versus the Rangers.
Impact Moniak has been the Angels' best hitter lately in popping five home runs over his last seven games, but southpaw Cody Bradford is starting for the Angels and the left-handed hitting Moniak rarely starts against lefties. Kevin Pillar will occupy center field and bat cleanup.
SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Lifts 13th homer Moniak went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Moniak's first hit in September was a first-inning homer that set the tone for the Angels' romp to a win. The outfielder has swatted five homers and driven in 10 runs over his last seven games. For the year, he's up to a .231/.274/.402 slash line with 13 homers, a career-best 47 RBI, 43 runs scored and six stolen bases over 110 contests. He continues to see a strong-side platoon role in center field, sharing the position with Kevin Pillar.
