The Los Angeles Angels re-signed third baseman Yoan Moncada to a one-year, $4 million contract on Monday.
Right-hander Cody Laweryson was designated for assignment in a corresponding move to clear space on the 40-man roster.
Moncada, 30, batted .234 with 12 home runs and 35 RBIs in 84 games for the Angels last season while on a one-year, $5 million deal.
He was signed to take over for the oft-injured Anthony Rendon at third base but missed a month early in the season with a thumb injury, then lost another month midway through the season with a knee injury.
Moncada's return comes after the Angels severed ties with Rendon in December by buying out the final season of a seven-year, $245 million deal. Rendon was set to make an estimated $38.6 million in 2026.
Over 10 major league seasons, eight with the Chicago White Sox, Moncada is a career .252 hitter with 105 home runs and 374 RBIs in 831 games.
Moncada's best season came in 2019 with the White Sox when he batted .315 with 25 home runs and 79 RBIs in 132 games and finished 21st in American League MVP voting. He has played more than 100 games just twice over the past six seasons.
