Mickey Moniak Yet to Do Change-of Direction Running
Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak (ankle) continues to hit, throw, and do some running in baseball cleats. He is making progress, but he hasn't been scheduled to do any change-of-direction tests yet, according to MLB.com. Moniak has been on the 10-day since May 22 with tendinitis in his right ankle. Depending on when he's cleared to ramp up his running program, the left-handed slugger could return to the Rockies' lineup by mid-June. The 28-year-old former first overall pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2016 out of La Costa Canyon High School in California has taken off in the last two years in Colorado and is currently hitting .280 (42-for-150) with 12 home runs, 28 RBI, 21 runs scored, and one stolen base in 43 games in 2026, but has he already peaked in his seventh year in the majors? Moniak is sporting just a .324 xwOBA and an expected batting average of .228. He has really hit his stride offensively since landing in Denver, but fantasy managers may want to expect plenty of regression once he returns from the IL.
