Mickey Moniak News: Idle against southpaw

Published on August 27, 2025

Moniak is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

With lefty Framber Valdez on the hill for Houston, the left-handed-hitting Moniak will exit the starting nine Wednesday, after he went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, three RBI and a run in the Rockies' 6-1 win in Tuesday's series opener. He'll give up his spot in the lineup to Kyle Farmer, who will get the start at designated hitter and will bat eighth.
