Mickey Moniak's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (hand) was forced to exit late during Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. The left-handed outfielder left in the eighth inning after getting hit by a pitch in the hand. The team already had Moniak undergo further testing which revealed a hand contusion. For now, Moniak is considered as day-to-day, so he should avoid a trip to the injured list. Michael Stefanic replaced him on Sunday, but Jordyn Adams or Gustavo Campero figure to see more playing time while Moniak is out.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak blasted two decisive home runs in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Mariners. The first was a game-tying two-run shot in the seventh that chased M's starter Bryan Woo from the game, and the second came in the bottom of the ninth with two outs off of closer Andres Munoz which delivered a walk-off win for the Halos. It was the fourth consecutive game in which Moniak has recorded multiple hits, going 8-for-14 (.571) with four home runs, seven RBI, and four runs scored over that stretch. The former first-overall draft pick will look to finish strong after having his best month of the season by far, slashing .359/.397/.719 in August.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (elbow) is back in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Kevin Gausman at the Rogers Centre, playing center field and batting in the five-hole. Moniak will return to action after missing the last couple of contests due to a minor elbow injury. The 26-year-old left-handed batter has hit .125 in eight career at-bats against Gausman but has been productive this month, going 15-for-47 (.319) with two home runs, four doubles, six RBI and seven runs scored in 14 starts. He's also been much more productive against righties in 2024, batting .232 (68-for-293) against them with all eight his home runs. Moniak will be a low-upside DFS sleeper in his return to the lineup. With Mike Trout (knee) out the rest of the season, Moniak will be a regular in center field for the Halos when they face righties.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (elbow) is out of the starting lineup Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays for a second consecutive day after being removed from Thursday's game with an apparent elbow injury. The 26-year-old is playing in his first major league season, where he has eclipsed the 100-game mark and is not living up to his expectations as a former top prospect. In 102 total games (318 at-bats), he is slashing.223/.266/.358 with eight homers, 37 RBI, 37 R, and six stolen bases. The scorching-hot Kevin Pillar is playing center field Saturday and will continue to see an uptick in at-bats while Moniak is sidelined.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak was removed with left elbow irritation in Thursday's game against the hosting Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Moniak was hit by a pitch in the fourth inning on Thursday against Toronto, with Kevin Pillar replacing him in center field. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day ahead of Friday's contest against the Jays. 2024 has been a massive drop-off after a breakout 2023 season for the 26-year-old former No. 1 overall pick, who's slashing .223/.266/.358 with eight home runs, 37 RBI, 37 runs scored, and six stolen bases over 318 at-bats (102 games) this year for Anaheim. If Moniak needs to go on the injured list, the Halos would have no other choice but to play the lefty-mashing Pillar in center every day.
