Angels' Yoan Moncada: Lands on IL with sprained thumb
The Los Angeles Angels placed Yoan Moncada on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right thumb sprain.Moncada first injured his thumb back in mid-March. He was included on the Halos' Opening Day roster but has had a pair of setbacks since then, and the club has finally decided a stint on the IL is required. According to Brian Murphy of MLB.com, manager Ron Washington was unwilling to speculate whether Moncada would miss more than the minimum 10 days, as the Angels are still awaiting the results of a recent re-evaluation on his thumb before offering up a timeline for his return. The Angels will likely continue to go with Luis Rengifo as their primary third baseman and Kyren Paris as their primary second baseman while Moncada is shelved.
