Moniak (right hand) focused on recovery: 'Life's not fair' PHILADELPHIA -- Mickey Moniak would have been in the Phillies’ Opening Day lineup on Friday. He would have hit ninth, behind rookie third...
APRIL 8, 2022 • MLB.COM
Lands on injured list Moniak hit the 10-day injured list with a broken right hand Friday.
Impact Moniak, the first overall pick in the 2016 Draft, looked to be finally turning the corner after several frustrating seasons as he'd earned an Opening Day roster spot by posting a 1.351 OPS with six homers in 15 spring games. Instead, he was hit by a pitch in the Phillies' final exhibition game and will now miss about six weeks. Previous reports indicated the fracture was in his wrist, though the Phillies are calling it a broken hand. Simon Muzziotti was called up to take his place on the roster and will back up Matt Vierling in center field.
APRIL 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Slated to miss six weeks Moniak has been diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his right wrist and will miss approximately six weeks to begin the regular season, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Impact Moniak was initially diagnosed with a bruised hand after being hit by a pitch during his final at-bat of spring training, but he's dealing with a more significant injury that will force him to miss at least a month and a half. Since Odubel Herrera (oblique) will begin the year on the injured list, Matt Vierling should serve as the Phillies' primary center fielder early in the season.

Dealing with bruised hand Moniak suffered a bruised right hand in Wednesday's spring game against the Rays, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Impact Moniak was hit on the right hand when he struck out in the top of the fourth inning Wednesday, and he didn't return to the game. He underwent X-rays that came back negative, but it's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his availability to begin the regular season. If Moniak is forced to miss time, Matt Vierling would likely serve as the primary center fielder.

Wins roster spot Moniak will begin the season on the Phillies' Opening Day roster, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 2016 first-overall pick has fallen short of expectations for the last several years in the minors and has looked overmatched in his small sample of 55 MLB plate appearances, hitting .128/.241/.191 with a 40.0 percent strikeout rate. He's made changes at the plate under the tutelage of new hitting coach Kevin Long, however, allowing him to crush the ball to the tune of a 1.285 OPS and five homers in 14 games this spring. He'll be in a timeshare with Matt Vierling in center field until Odubel Herrera returns from his strained oblique. Since he's left-handed while Vierling bats from the right side, Moniak could fill the large side of a platoon, potentially setting him up for a larger role than expected throughout the season if he can carry his spring success over into the Phillies' early schedule.

Clear path to roster spot Moniak has a clear path to an Opening Day roster spot after Adam Haseley was traded to the White Sox on Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Impact Odubel Herrera will miss at least the first few weeks of the season with an oblique strain, so the Phillies need another player capable of handling center field alongside Matt Vierling.. While Vierling is a righty and Moniak is a lefty, the Phillies may give Vierling a true starting role rather than use a platoon. Moniak has shown very little in 55 MLB plate appearances, hitting .128/.241/.191 with a 40.0 percent strikeout rate, and he wasn't convincing for Triple-A Lehigh Valley last season, either, hitting .238/.299/.447. Still, he's just 23 years old and was the first overall pick back in 2016, so a roster spot would at least give him the opportunity to take a step forward and become a productive big leaguer.
