Los Angeles Angels' third baseman Yoan Moncada is set for surgery on his right knee. The 31-year-old switch-hitter struggled with knee issues that limited his play, including a five-week absence last summer. This season, Moncada has recorded a.189 batting average with three home runs over 41 games. The Angels are now considering other options at third base, including Donovan Walton, Oswald Peraza, and Denzer Guzman, while there is no clear timetable for Moncada's return.
