Moreland is not starting the first game of the ALCS against Houston on Saturday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland was considered questionable to make the ALCS roster after suffering a hamstring injury in Game 2 of the ALDS. He was able to make the squad, but the fact that he's sitting for Game 1 despite the Astros starting a righty (Justin Verlander) indicates that the injury may still be bothering him.
