Los Angeles Angels' third baseman Yoan Moncada may begin the season on the injured list due to a severe thumb injury, jeopardizing his position on the Opening Day roster. This injury could allow Tim Anderson to take over as starting second baseman and Rengifo at third. Moncada's recent history is concerning, having spent most of last season on the injured list and registering declining performance numbers. Despite these challenges, the Angels remain optimistic about their roster improvements, including Moncada, Anderson, and other acquisitions, after finishing last in the AL West last year.
Yoan Moncada's thumb is worse than we thought. His spot on the Opening Day roster is now in doubt, probably opening the door for Tim Anderson.
Unfortunately, White Sox fans have become all too familiar with Moncada on the injured list as he spent nearly all of 2024 there.
The Angels signed Moncada hoping to address their own injury issues. As Anthony Rendon is set to miss the season, Moncada's availability is crucial.
The Angels feel more confident this season with offseason additions, including Moncada, despite finishing last in the AL West last year.
