Taking on everyday role
Moore will start at second base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Análisis
Moore will draw his fifth start in as many days at the keystone following his promotion from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday. He's gotten on base just three times over the last four games, though he's provided a solo home run and a double during that stretch. Moore should have a clear path to an everyday role in the infield while Nolan Schanuel (intercostal) is stuck on the injured list.

Cranks first homer
Moore went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday in an extra-inning loss to Cleveland.
Análisis
Moore gave the Angels a 3-0 lead with his third-inning solo shot, but the Guardians eventually came back and pulled out the victory. The long ball was Moore's first in the big leagues in 2026 and just his second extra-base hit through 39 plate appearances. He's slashed a meager .167/.205/.278 with an ugly 41.0 percent strikeout rate during that span, but he posted a .943 OPS with 11 homers, 60 RBI and 14 stolen bases across 86 contests with Triple-A Salt Lake, so there seems to be potential for more potent production that Moore hasn't tapped into yet.

Back in big leagues
The Angels recalled Moore from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.
Análisis
Outfielder Gustavo Campero was also recalled from Salt Lake, while Nolan Schanuel (side) was placed on the 10-day IL and Wade Meckler landed on the 7-day concussion IL. This will be Moore's second big-league stint this season; in his first call-up during the second half of June, he slashed .200/.227/.200 with a 1:11 BB:K over 22 plate appearances. Moore played mostly in left field at that time, but he's starting at second base and batting eighth Saturday, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register.
