Slated for knee surgery
Moncada will require surgery on his right knee, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Analysis
Moncada was shifted to the 60-day injured list earlier Monday, and those his injury had previously been described as knee inflammation, the limited progress he's made since suffering the injury in late May looks to have prompted him to opt for surgery. While a specific timetable is unclear, the expectation is that Moncada will be able to return at some point after the All-Star break.

Moved to 60-day IL
The Angels transferred Moncada (knee) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
Analysis
The move opens a spot on the Angels' 40-man roster for Trey Mancini, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake. Moncada landed on the 10-day IL in late May due to a right knee inflammation, and he's only recently progressed to running and hitting off a tee. Now that he's on the 60-day IL, Moncada won't be eligible to return to the Angels until shortly after the All-Star break.

Progresses to running, hitting
Moncada (knee) has been running and hitting off a tee from the left side, per MLB.com.
Analysis
Moncada was placed on the 10-day IL on May 22 due to right knee inflammation. He's since been able to resume doing some running and hitting, though it's unclear how close he is to returning to game action. Donovan Walton and Nick Madrigal have been handling third base for the Angels while Moncada has been sidelined.
