Moncada is not in the
lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.
ANALYSISMoncada has now been absent from the lineup two days in a row, and that's come after he hit a three-run homer Tuesday. The infielder has dealt with a nagging thumb issue, although there's no indication that that's the reason for his exclusion from the Angels' lineup.
Kevin Newman is at third base and batting eighth Thursday.
