Angels slugger Yoan Moncada misses game to take US citizenship test
The Los Angeles Angels were without one of their better sluggers on Tuesday night, but he had a pretty good reason for the excused absence. Yoan Moncada was on MLB's restricted list on Tuesday, as he was taking his U.S. Citizenship test. The 30-year-old Moncada is from Cuba and signed with the Boston Red Sox as an international free agent for a signing bonus of over $31 million. Moncada, aged 19 at the time, promptly became one of the top prospects in all baseball as a switch-hitter. He made his MLB debut roughly a year and a half after signing, at the age of 21. The Sox made a stunning move, though, after the 2016 seaso when they traded Moncada, Michael Kopech, and two others to the Chicago White Sox for Chris Sale, who just wrapped up his season and was a perennial Cy Young Award candidate. Moncada has never quite lived up to the hype, even striking out an MLB-high 217 times in 2018. He did hit .315 with a .915 OPS in 2019, and his 5.1 WAR that season was also a career-best. He posted a 4.1 two years later. Moncada spent eight seasons with the White Sox, posting up-and-down numbers throughout his tenure, much like the organization while he was there. In 2021, they won the AL Central, but three years later, they set the modern-era record for the most losses in a season (Moncada played in just 12 games last season). The infielder has maintained his Cuban citizenship, and he played for Team Cuba in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, slashing .435/.519/.739. In his career, Moncada is a .252 hitter with a .756 OPS. This season, he's hitting .221 with a .436 slugging percentage. It's not yet known whether Moncada will be available for the Angels' 4:00 p.m. game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday, but at the very least, he'll head to Detroit this weekend for a three-game set with the Tigers.

Mariners' Bryan Woo extends remarkable Seattle franchise record
Mariners' Bryan Woo extends remarkable Seattle franchise record originally appeared on The Sporting News The reliability of Bryan Woo remains remarkable. Another start, another six innings, no problem for the Seattle Mariners' right-hander. Woo has now made 22 starts this season. He has lasted at least 6.0 innings in all of them. That extends a Mariners record for such starts in a row to begin a season, and it's the second-most in the last 10 years, behind just Clayton Kershaw in 2019, per MLB Network's Sarah Langs. MORE: Guardians' Nic Enright reaches special personal milestone in comeback from cancer Woo's latest outing came Tuesday night in a win over the White Sox. He went 7.0 innings, allowing two hits and one run while striking out nine. He lowered his season ERA to 3.02 and improved his record to 9-6. The 25-year old All Star has now thrown 140 innings across his 22 starts, striking out 136 batters. One of the keys to his success: Just 25 walks in those 22 starts, allowing him to consistently make it deep into games. MORE: Blue Jays' Ernie Clement shows lifelong hitting ability in historic night for Toronto Woo has already thrown a career-high innings this season, having made it 121.1 last year. He has also matched last season's 22 starts, so Woo is entering into a bit of uncharted territory on a personal level. With how he's rolling, though, it'd be no surprise to see Woo keep this up anyway. He's clearly in a groove, and it's been great news for the Mariners all season every fifth day when he gets to take the ball and do his thing.
