Angels' Yoan Moncada: Sitting against lefty again
Moncada is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians. Moncada is a switch hitter, but he's handled right-handed pitching much better throughout his career and even more dramatically so in 2026. He'll be held out of the lineup for the second game in a row while the Angels face another southpaw starter (Joey Cantillo), paving the way for Vaughn Grissom to pick up a start at third base.
Angels' Josh Lowe: On bench against lefty
Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians. Lowe will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Angels face another lefty starter (Joey Cantillo) to begin their three-game set in Cleveland. Bryce Teodosio will cover left field in place of Lowe, who has gone 1-for-15 with zero walks and five strikeouts against southpaws on the season.
Angels' Brent Suter: Grabs opener assignment
Suter will serve as the Angels' opening pitcher in Monday's contest in Cleveland. Suter will draw his second opener assignment of the season, after he allowed one run over two frames in his first start back on April 16 against the Yankees. Alek Manoah is slated to be the team's primary pitcher Monday sometime after Suter exits the game.
Angels' Sam Bachman: Notches seventh hold
Bachman recorded a hold against Toronto on Sunday, retiring the only batter he faced in the eighth inning. Bachman was called upon in the eighth frame with two outs after the Blue Jays loaded the bases on a trio of singles.
