    Moncada has missed more than a month of action with right knee inflammation but appears set to return after going 4-for-9 with a homer in three rehab games with the Angels' Arizona Complex League affiliate. The 30-year-old should regain his role as the Halos' primary third baseman, with Luis Rengifo shifting over to second base to cover for Christian Moore (thumb).

The infielder drew a walk in the second and added a single in the sixth. The 26-year-old later grounded into a fielder's choice in the eighth, though he drove in the go-ahead run.

    McMahon entered the game having failed to record an RBI in his last 12 starts and 14 games. He's hit just .125 in that span with a 38.5 percent strikeout rate, though he at least managed to drive in a run with a single in the sixth inning of Monday's contest. McMahon has had a disastrous season overall, posting a career-low .684 OPS with only 26 RBI across 89 games.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Goes deep in win

The veteran utility player continued his strong recent play, as he's now batting .344 over his last 10 games with three home runs, four RBI and eight runs scored. Overall, McKinstry is sporting a .285 batting average and an .819 OPS, both of which are significantly above his career marks of .233 and .678, respectively.

  • CJ Alexander 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' CJ Alexander: Booted from 40-man roster

    The Dodgers designated Alexander for assignment Monday.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Return this week not ruled out

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Bregman (quadriceps) will be activated from the 10-day injured list "sooner rather than later," Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    According to Cora, Bregman "feels great" and will go through "heavy" workouts Monday and Tuesday. Cora did not rule out Bregman being activated later this week during the team's series against the Rays, but a lot will depend on how the third baseman bounces back from Monday's and Tuesday's workouts. Bregman has been sidelined since late May due to a strained right quad.
