Could hit leadoff Angels manager Ron Washington said Thursday that he envisions Moniak and Luis Rengifo as candidates to bat leadoff, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Given the splits between the two players, it would make sense that Moniak hits leadoff against right-handers and Rengifo bats leadoff versus lefties. Moniak -- who is likely to sit against southpaws in favor of Aaron Hicks -- slashed .294/.322/.544 versus right-handed pitching in 2023.

Day off Sunday Moniak is not in Sunday's lineup against the Athletics.

Impact Moniak dealt with some injuries this season, but it was still a big career resurgence for the 2016 No. 1 overall pick, as he slashed .280/.307/.495 with 14 home runs and six steals in 85 games.

Activated from IL The Angels reinstated Moniak (back) from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Moniak went on the injured list Sept. 15 due to tightness on the left side of his back, though he hasn't seen game action since Sept. 5. Now that he's healthy, he figures to slide back into an everyday role in Los Angeles' outfield for the final series of the season. Jared Walsh was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Angels put Mickey Moniak, Mike Moustakas on injured list; recall Jordyn Adams, Kyren Paris

The Los Angeles Angels have put outfielder Mickey Moniak and infielder Mike Moustakas on the 10-day injured list

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Placed on 10-day IL The Angels placed Moniak on the 10-day injured list Friday with left back tightness.

Impact This back tightness has kept Moniak sidelined since Sept. 5 and the Angels are finally putting him on the IL in a move that is retroactive to Sept. 14. Jordyn Adams has been recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move to provide the Halos with some much-needed outfield depth.

Not doing baseball activities Moniak (back) remains out of the lineup Friday and isn't doing any baseball activities, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moniak hasn't appeared in a game since Sept. 5 due to lingering back discomfort and there is no timetable for his return, but the Angels have curiously decided against placing him on the 10-day injured list. Blum notes that an IL move and then calling up another player "would add to their payroll." Tough times in Anaheim.

Impact Moniak will end up missing more than a week due to his back injury, which cropped up during batting practice prior to last Thursday's game against the Guardians. Brett Phillips has started in center field in each of the Halos' last seven games while Moniak has been on the mend. The Angels will check in and see how Moniak is feeling following Thursday's off day before deciding on his status for the three-game series with the Tigers this weekend.

May not return until Friday Moniak is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians and could miss the upcoming three-game series against the Mariners, which begins Monday, Sam Blum of The Athleti...

Impact Moniak's absence Sunday will be the fifth straight due to back tightness, and it appears he could be sidelined for at least a few more games. If it looks like his absence will extend beyond Friday, the 25-year-old could be moved to the injured list. Randal Grichuk, Brett Phillips and Jordyn Adams will start from left to right in the outfield.

Sitting fourth straight Moniak (back) isn't in the Angels' lineup Saturday against Cleveland.

Impact Moniak hasn't played since Tuesday, as back issues continue to plague the 25-year-old outfielder. Randal Grichuk, Brett Phillips and Trey Cabbage will make up the Angels' outfield while Moniak recovers.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Friday Moniak (back) isn't in the Angels' lineup Friday against Cleveland, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Back tightness caused Moniak to be a late scratch from the Angels' lineup ahead of Thursday's series opener, and the issue remains severe enough to keep him out of another game Friday. Brett Phillips will start in center field and bat eighth while Moniak recovers.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with back tightness Moniak was scratched from Thursday's game against the Guardians with back tightness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Moniak was originally slated to hit sixth in the order and start in center field. The severity of the issue is unclear. Brett Phillips will take over center field in Moniak's place and hit eighth.
