Angels' Yoan Moncada: Back in lineup Sunday
Moncada (thumb) is starting at third base and batting third Sunday against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Moncada was held out of Saturday's lineup after departing Friday's contest with the thumb issue, but he's back in the starting nine for Sunday's series finale. The 29-year-old missed most of April due to a sprained thumb but appears to have avoided a serious aggravation this time around.

Angels' Yoan Moncada: Exits with injury
Moncada was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers with an apparent thumb injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Moncada missed nearly a month of action while on the injured list because of a sprained right thumb, and he appeared to aggravate it during a swing in the ninth inning. If the 29-year-old ends up having to miss any more time due to his latest flare-up, Kevin Newman and Tim Anderson would be the leading candidates to pick up playing time in the infield.

Angels' Yoan Moncada: Goes deep again Wednesday
Moncada went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 win over Toronto.
Moncada now has two games under his belt since returning from a nearly month-long stint on the injured list, and he's homered in each contest while driving in four runs. The veteran third's baseman's long ball Wednesday was a 386-footer to right field for his team's first run. Moncada has struggled to stay healthy in recent campaigns, but he has a chance to return to fantasy relevance as the Angels' primary third baseman if he can put those injury issues behind him.

Angels' Yoan Moncada: Homers in return
Moncada (thumb) went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Moncada's homer was part of a six-run eighth inning that put the Angels in control of the game. The third baseman has battled a thumb sprain since mid-March, with the latest flare-up costing him nearly a month of action. Moncada is hitting .200 (5-for-25) with a homer, seven RBI, four runs scored, two doubles and a 6:8 BB:K over his first nine games with the Angels. Staying healthy will be the big concern for Moncada going forward, as he played in just 104 games between the 2023 and 2024 campaigns.

Angels' Yoan Moncada: Reinstated off IL
The Angels reinstated Moncada (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Moncada started the season on the IL due to a right thumb sprain that he suffered in mid-March. He made two rehab outings with Single-A Inland Empire, going 0-for-5 with four walks and two strikeouts. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to the big club, and he will start at third base and bat sixth against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Moncada (thumb) has gone 0-for-5 with a 2:4 K:BB in 10 plate appearances in his first two rehab games with Single-A Inland Empire.
Moncada is nearly a month removed from landing on the 10-day injured list with a right thumb sprain that he first suffered back in mid-March.

Angels' Yoan Moncada: Resumes swinging bat
Moncada (thumb) has been able to swing right-handed and field grounders, per MLB.com.
Moncada landed on the 10-day IL due to a right thumb sprain April 10, so he's already eligible to be activated. It's not clear when the switch hitter will be able to resume swinging left-handed, but he at least appears to be making progress in his recovery. Moncada could return to the Angels before the end of April, but an early-May return is probably more likely.

Angels' Yoan Moncada: Lands on IL with sprained thumb
The Angels placed Moncada on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right thumb sprain.
Moncada first injured his thumb back in mid-March. He was included on the Halos' Opening Day roster but has had a pair of setbacks since then, and the club has finally decided a stint on the IL is required. According to Brian Murphy of MLB.com, manager Ron Washington was unwilling to speculate whether Moncada would miss more than the minimum 10 days, as the Angels are still awaiting the results of a recent re-evaluation on his thumb before offering up a timeline for his return. The Angels will likely continue to go with Luis Rengifo as their primary third baseman and Kyren Paris as their primary second baseman while Moncada is shelved.

Angels' Yoan Moncada: Aggravates thumb again
Moncada was pulled from Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay due to right thumb soreness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Moncada began having issues with his thumb toward the end of spring training. He's already aggravated it once since the regular season began, leaving Friday's contest early before missing the next three games, and he couldn't make it through his first game back in the lineup without experiencing another flare-up. The Angels may consider sending the 29-year-old to the injured list to give his thumb the time it needs to properly heal, though the team's plans are currently unknown.

Moncada missed roughly two weeks at the end of spring training due to problems with his right thumb, and the injury seems to have resurfaced during Friday's contest. It's unknown if his second bout of thumb trouble is severe enough to warrant a trip to the injured list, though the Angels may err on the side of caution this time around.

Moncada didn't start the Angels' season opener Thursday due to a thumb issue that was giving him problems during spring training, but he was able to enter as a pinch hitter and draw a walk. Now seemingly recovered, he's set to make his first start at the hot corner since March 12.

Moncada (thumb) is expected to be active and in the Angels' Opening Day lineup versus the White Sox on Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Moncada hasn't played in two weeks due to a right thumb injury, but he's been working out in recent days and apparently has convinced the Angels he's well enough to give it a go in Thursday's opener.

Injuries have limited Moncada to only 104 games over the last two seasons.
