Moss went 2-for-6 with a two-run homer in Friday's 9-3 extra-inning victory over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger added insult to injury in a wild 12th inning, taking Juan Nicasio deep with two out to put the finishing touches on what would be a six-run frame. Moss has torn the cover off the ball to date in June, as he's now slashing .476/.500/1.286 for the month, with four consecutive multi-hit outings, five homers and eight RBI.

Moss went 2-for-5 with a walk and two homers in Wednesday's slugfest against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Moss belted a homer 426 feet into the right-field stands on a 2-1 pitch, breaking a 4-4 tie in the fifth inning. He didn't wait long for his next one, going deep on a line-drive solo-shot in the seventh that just cleared the right-field wall. Although his .239 average doesn't seem impressive at first glance, it is higher than any season since 2013. The outfielder's ISO sits at .331, outrageously above his .213 career average.

Moss is in the lineup and batting sixth for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moss will start in left field while Matt Holliday takes the day off. The 32-year-old went 3-for-4 with a home run, triple, RBI, and two runs scored in his last start against the Giants.

Moss was added to the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Moss was originally set to open on the bench Monday, but he was inserted into the starting group after Stephen Piscotty was scratched due to food poisoning. Moss will man right field Monday and hit fifth against Brewers starter Junior Guerra.

Moss got the start in right field Sunday and went 2-for-4 with a solo shot, his ninth home run of the season, in a 10-2 loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

His homer was the only run the Cardinals managed off Stephen Strasburg over six innings. Moss remains a batting average liability, but he still gets enough playing time and supplies enough pop to have value in deeper formats.

Moss went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Moss' eighth blast of the year was the only run the Cardinals would score off Zach Greinke in a losing effort. Three of his 10 hits this month have left the yard, and despite a .218 batting average, he has a solid .482 slugging percentage in 110 at-bats this season.

Moss is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

With both Moss and Matt Adams on the bench against lefty Patrick Corbin, Matt Carpenter will jump across the diamond for his second start of the season at first base. Moss seems to have fallen out of favor with manager Mike Matheny due to a slow start to May -- Friday's absence is his sixth in eight games.

Moss is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

An 0-for-4 showing Wednesday lowered Moss' average for the month of May to .190 (8-for-42). He'll head back the bench Thursday, marking his fifth absence from the lineup in the team's last seven games. Manager Mike Matheny seems content riding the hotter hand of Matt Adams (.281 average in May) at first base against right-handers for now.

Moss is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Moss has split time at first base with Matt Adams as of late, and manager Mike Matheny decided to go with the latter for Tuesday's contest. Moss' batting average has dropped to .222 thanks to garnering only eight hits over the past two weeks, but his role shouldn't be in danger as long as he keeps up his .791 OPS.

Moss is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is Moss' second straight absence, both coming against opposing right-handed starters. There has been no word of an injury to Moss, so perhaps manager Mike Matheny just decided to reward Matt Adams for his 3-for-6 effort Thursday.
