Fields grounders Monday
Moncada (thumb) fielded grounders Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis
Moncada did not hit or throw, as he's not ready for that yet since it's his right thumb that's bothering him. It's not yet clear when he'll be ready for full baseball activities and games, but Moncada still hopes to be ready to go on Opening Day. If Moncada needs time on the injured list, the Angels would likely use Luis Rengifo at third base, with Tim Anderson entering the lineup at second base.

Could need IL stint
Moncada's thumb injury is worse than initially expected and he could require time on the injured list to begin the season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis
Moncada was scratched from the lineup Friday and may now be unavailable for Opening Day after being poised to start the campaign as the Halos' primary third baseman. The 29-year-old's return timeline should come into focus this week as he continues to be evaluated. Non-roster invitee Tim Anderson could fill the open spot in the lineup while playing second base, which would shift Luis Rengifo to the hot corner.

Scratched with sore thumb
Moncada was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Athletics due to thumb soreness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
It's not clear at this point whether the injury might cause Moncada to miss any additional time. The veteran infielder is 4-for-21 with one home run and a 6:7 K:BB over 10 Cactus League contests. Moncada is projected to open the season as the Angels' primary third baseman.
