Moreland went 3-for-7 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 13-6 extra-inning win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

With Hanley Ramirez (biceps) injured again, Moreland should get ample at-bats as Boston's everyday first baseman. Particularly as the Red Sox battle it out in the AL East. The left-handed hitting Moreland has soldiered on through injuries of his own this season, reaching a career-high in plate appearances (529). Because the Red Sox are 27th in MLB with 153 home runs and have had difficulty scoring runs, Moreland's 19 homers and 71 RBI -- ranking third on the team in each category -- have been significant. He should continue to hit up in the order near the team's best hitters, generating more RBI opportunities over the final two weeks.
