Colorado Rockies first baseman/designated hitter Mike Moustakas is back in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Boston Red Sox.

That being said, fantasy managers shouldn't have high hopes for Moustakas to be a fantasy contributor. Although, Colorado would be ...

Colorado Rockies third baseman Mike Moustakas is out of the starting lineup once again for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. The left-handed slugger sat out on Opening Day, which led some to believe he'd start against right-hander Nick Martinez on Friday. That is not the case as Elehuris Montero remains at third base and moves down one spot in the batting order. The 34-year-old didn't offer much help offensively last season, so he might end up as a bench option in Colorado. Fantasy ...
