Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Moncada will take a seat for the second time in the first three games of the second half, with both his absences coming against left-handed pitchers. The switch hitter has gone 2-for-19 versus southpaws this season, which stands in stark contrast to his .945 OPS against righties.

Albert Suarez RP | BAL
Orioles' Albert Suarez: Close to facing hitters
Suarez (shoulder) is expected to face hitters in live batting practice before the end of July, MLB.com reports.
Suarez was cleared to throw off a mound earlier this month and tossed his most recent bullpen session Saturday. The right-hander is recovering from a subscapularis strain. Suarez made 24 starts for the Orioles in 2024, but he made his lone appearance this season out of the bullpen before he landed on the shelf. He's likely in line for a relief role once he returns from the 60-day injured list, but not needing to be stretched out for a starting job should shorten his rehab program.

Kyle Bradish SP | BAL
Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Cleared for first rehab start
Bradish (elbow) will report to High-A Aberdeen on Thursday to make his first rehab start, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Bradish made it through a two-inning simulated game Saturday without issue, and he'll now take the next step in his recovery from last June's Tommy John surgery with an internal brace. Prior to sustaining his elbow injury, Bradish opened the 2024 campaign in impressive fashion with a 2.75 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 53:15 K:BB through 39.1 innings over eight starts. Expectations for the 28-year-old righty should be tempered upon his eventual return from the 60-day injured list, however, as he could need time to regain his pre-surgery velocity and command.
