Mickey Moniak Returns Against A's
1 year agoLos Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) has returned to center field and is hitting eighth in the order on Friday against the Oakland Athletics and left-hander JP Sears. Moniak didn't play on Wednesday but rested up during the off day and will return for the opener of a three-game series in Oakland this weekend. The 25-year-old left-handed hitter has thrived in his first season in Anaheim, although he's coming off a rough month of August in which he hit .202 (17-for-84) with two home runs, three doubles, a triple, six RBI, 38 strikeouts, two stolen bases and four runs scored in 24 games (22 starts). Moniak has gone just 9-for-52 (.173) with zero of his 13 home runs this year against southpaws, so fantasy managers will want to avoid him Friday.
