Moore went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Colorado.
Moore put the Angels on the board with a two-run homer that tied the score 2-2 in the second inning. The rookie second baseman has been flashing his power of late, belting three homers in six games since being called back up to the big leagues Sept. 13. His other two hits during that span have been doubles, though he's also struck out nine times in 20 plate appearances.

Angels' Christian Moore: Swats fifth homer
Rotowire
Moore went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Mariners.
This was Moore's second game in the lineup since getting recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. He hit just .175 with 15 strikeouts over 10 games during his stint in the minors, but it looks like he'll get the chance to reclaim a starting job at second base to close out 2025 in the majors. For the season, he's at a .192/.285/.350 slash line with five homers, 13 RBI, 16 runs scored, two doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 138 plate appearances at the big-league level.

Moore struggled in his first taste of the majors earlier this season, slashing .195/.287/.336 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 14 runs and no stolen bases over 130 plate appearances. He posted a meager .561 OPS over 10 games with Salt Lake after getting sent down Sept. 1 but will nonetheless get another look with the major-league squad. Moore is starting at second base and batting fifth Saturday versus Seattle, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

Angels' Christian Moore: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Angels optioned Moore to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
Moore has mostly languished during his time in the majors to this point, slashing .195/.287/.336 with a 31.5 percent strikeout rate. While Moore will have a good chance to open up next season as the Angels' primary second baseman, he will head back to the minors for now, and Luis Rengifo is expected to hold down the keystone during the final month of the campaign.

Angels' Christian Moore: Out of lineup Saturday
Rotowire
Moore isn't in the starting nine against Houston on Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Moore has recently seen his playing time surge back up, as he came into Saturday having started four of the Angels' previous five games, going 4-for-15 with a home run during that span. However, he'll begin on the bench Saturday while Luis Rengifo starts at second base.

Angels' Christian Moore: Lifts homer in blowout loss
Rotowire
Moore went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 20-3 loss to the Rangers.
Moore provided one of the few bright spots for the Angels in the embarrassing loss when he stroked a solo homer to center field in the fifth inning. The rookie has started at second base in three of Los Angeles' past four games after starting just once in three games before that. It's worth noting, however, that both of the Angels' past two games have been against lefty starters, while Moore has began on the bench in three of the team's most recent five matchups with a right-handed starter. He may continue to be in and out of the lineup against righties given his rough .192/.304/.269 slash line against same-handed pitching this year.

Angels' Christian Moore: Idle for third time in five games
Rotowire
Moore is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.
Moore will head to the bench for the third time in five games while Luis Rengifo picks up a start at second base. The Angels are currently running a three-man rotation of Moore, Rengifo and Yoan Moncada between the keystone and third base, but Moncada's playing time appears to be the most stable of the trio at the moment. Moore is slashing just .184/.273/.224 with a 30.9 percent strikeout rate since the beginning of August and could begin to play second fiddle to Rengifo at second base on a more frequent basis if he's unable to improve his production at the plate.

Angels' Christian Moore: Returns from IL
Rotowire
The Angels reinstated Moore (thumb) from the 10-day injured list, and he will start at second base and bat eighth Sunday versus the White Sox.
Moore has been sidelined for the past month due to a thumb sprain but will rejoin the 26-man active roster after going 5-for-11 with two doubles and a home run during a four-game rehab assignment at Single-A Inland Empire. In his first 18 MLB games prior to the injury, the 22-year-old had yet to get on track for the Halos with a .189/.302/.396 slash line and 31.2 percent strikeout rate, though he has showcased his power potential with three long balls.
Angels' Christian Moore: Beginning rehab stint Wednesday
Rotowire
Moore (thumb) will kick off a minor-league rehab assignment with Single-A Inland Empire on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Moore has been on the IL since July 3 due to a sprained left thumb. He resumed baseball activities late last week and has been playing catch, fielding grounders and swinging a bat. Moore could be back with the Angels in a matter of days, though it's unclear how the Angels will manage the infield upon his return. Luis Rengifo has been starting at second base of late and hitting well, while Yoan Moncada is the starter at third base, though he's currently sidelined by a hand injury.

Moore was called up by the Angels from Triple-A Salt Lake in mid-June and played in 18 games for the big club before landing on the IL in early July due to a left thumb sprain. His return to baseball activities is an encouraging sign, and the 23-year-old will look to progress enough in his recovery to swing a bat.
