Yoan Moncada Returns From Thumb Injury
1 week agoLos Angeles Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada (thumb) is back at third base and is hitting sixth on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Ryan Pepiot at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Moncada will return to the field after missing the team's last three games due to a thumb injury that he first injured near the end of spring training. The 29-year-old Cuban switch-hitter has opened the year as the Halos' primary third baseman, but he's going to need to pick it up on the offensive end to continue seeing regular at-bats. In his first seven games this year, Moncada has gone 4-for-20 with two doubles, four RBI, three runs scored, six walks and seven strikeouts in 26 plate appearances. He has never faced Pepiot in his career and won't be a recommended DFS lineup play in his first game back from a thumb injury.
