Yoan Moncada News: Activated, available off bench

The Angels reinstated Moncada from the restricted list Friday.

Moncada rejoins the team after stepping away to take his U.S. citizenship test, but he isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's series opener against Detroit. Niko Kavadas was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move. Moncada has a .756 OPS in 172 plate appearances this season.
