Angels' Mickey Moniak: Sitting Friday

Moniak isn't in the Angels' lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

After going 7-for-16 with a homer and three RBI during the final five games of the first half, Moniak will sit down for the first game following the All-Star break. His absence will open a spot for Kevin Pillar to start in center field and bat fourth.
