Moniak is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Moniak isn't in the Angels' lineup Friday versus Texas, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

While he sits, Taylor Ward, Kevin Pillar and Gustavo Campero will start across the Halos' outfield.

Moniak is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Moniak recently battled a hand injury, but he started each of the Angels' last three games and went 2-for-10 with a double, two walks, one stolen base and two runs. His absence from the lineup Wednesday looks to be maintenance-related.

Moniak (hand) is batting sixth and playing center field Saturday against the Astros. Moniak hasn't logged an at-bat since being hit in the hand by a pitch Sept. 15, but his inclusion in the lineup Saturday indicates he's over the injury. The center fielder is slashing .222/.226/.386 in 402 plate appearances this season.

Moniak (hand) took swings prior to Friday's game against Houston and could return to the Angels' lineup Saturday, per MLB.com. Moniak hasn't swung a bat in a game since Sept. 15, though he did enter as a pinch runner against the White Sox on Wednesday and took four balls in a plate appearance later in the contest. Manager Ron Washington said the outfielder was slated "to do some serious swinging" Friday, and how Moniak rebounds from that session could determine whether he's ready to return to the lineup Saturday. Jordyn Adams (knee) has covered center field for most of Moniak's absence, though Kevin Pillar manned the position Friday upon his return from the injured list.
