Moss was activated from the DL earlier on Tuesday, and came back with a 3-for-5 and a home run effort in a late 7-5 loss against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Moss showed no effects of the ankle injury that held him out for most of July, hitting his 18th homer of the season in his first game back. Moss played left field, right field, and first base over the course of the game, and has split time pretty evenly across those positions over the course of the season. The Cardinals did not make any splashy additions to their lineup at the trade deadline, so it looks as though Moss will be a centerpiece of the Cardinals lineup moving forward.
