Goes yard again
Moniak went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Astros.
Analysis
Moniak remains a key contributor in the Rockies' lineup against right-handed pitching, slotting either second or third in the order. His two-run home run in the seventh inning came off of Kai-Wei Teng, his third of the season across only four starts. Moniak also has at least one hit in all four of his starts.

Goes deep twice in win Sunday
Moniak went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Phillies.
Analysis
Both home runs came off Taijuan Walker, who allowed three round-trippers in the loss. Moniak was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday after missing Colorado's first six games of the season. He's now got his first two homers of the 2026 campaign and went 3-for-9 with three runs scored in the three-game set against the Phillies. Moniak is unlikely to play against many left-handed starters, but he had an .857 OPS against right-handed pitching last season.

Activated from 10-day IL
The Rockies activated Moniak (finger) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Analysis
Moniak missed the Rockies' season-opening road trip while recuperating from a right ring finger sprain, but he's back just in time for their first homestand. The 27-year-old will be a staple in the Rockies' lineup this season against right-handed pitching, likely splitting his time between the outfield and designated hitter.
