Mike Moustakas Returns To Lineup Friday rotoballer.com Fri 7/6/18 12:23 PM

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas is scheduled to start at third on Friday after missing a couple games with back spasms. Moustakas has been the workhorse of the KC offense, but he's clearly on the trade block, so he'd only be starting if he feels fully healthy. Moose is expected to be wearing a different uniform before the end of the month, but in the meantime, his counting stats will continue to be depressed by the terrible lineup around him.

Mike Moustakas Reportedly A Target For Yankees rotoballer.com Fri 7/6/18 6:19 AM

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas (back) might have missed his last two games while nursing an injury, but that doesn't mean teams aren't keeping an eye on him.

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas (back) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight day on Wednesday.

Mike Moustakas Scratched With Back Spasms rotoballer.com Tue 7/3/18 4:26 PM

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas (back) was scratched from the lineup Tuesday with back spasms. Alcides Escobar will fill in at the hot corner and bat eighth against Indians starter Shane Bieber. This isn't good news for Moustakas or the Royals, as he's a potential trade chip ahead of the deadline for a rebuilding club. It's probably not a serious injury, but Moose needs to continue producing to prove to interested teams that he's fine. A trade out of KC and a bad lineup would [...]

Interest In Mike Moustakas Heating Up rotoballer.com Tue 7/3/18 12:54 PM

Trade interest in Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas has picked up of late. Moose has cooled off since a hot start to the season, but the third baseman is still hitting .258 with 16 home runs and 53 RBI in 318 at-bats. His fantasy value is capped while hitting in a very weak lineup in KC, so a trade to a contender would be a nice boost for his fantasy owners in the second half of the season.

Mike Moustakas Drawing STL Trade Interest rotoballer.com Fri 6/29/18 10:20 AM

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas is drawing interest from the St. Louis Cardinals. Moustakas was a free agent last winter, but his market didn't pan out as expected, so he signed a short-term deal with the Royals once again. It's highly expected that he'll be traded before the deadline, especially since he's already hit 15 home runs this season, showing that the power breakout from 2017 wasn't completely a fluke.

Mike Moustakas Out On Monday rotoballer.com Mon 6/25/18 8:30 AM

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas is taking a seat on Monday as shortstop Alcides Escobar scoots over and covers his spot. Moose is just getting a regular day off since he's been in a bit of a funk recently, knocking just three hits in his last 20 at-bats. Moustakas has been the heart and soul of the KC offense so far this year as he leads the team in home runs, RBI, and runs scored. It is highly unlikely he's still on the team by the time August rolls around.

Mike Moustakas Hits Ninth-Inning Home Run Against Rangers rotoballer.com Thu 6/21/18 10:36 AM

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas clobbered his 14th home run of the season on Wednesday. Moustakas now has 48 RBI this season. He has only hit .204 in his last two weeks and has gradually been hitting less home runs, so the homer on [...]

Mike Moustakas Keeps Hit Streak Alive rotoballer.com Wed 6/20/18 8:03 AM

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas was slumping like the rest of the team until recently, but he seems to be coming out of his funk ever so slowly. Moose tallied one of the team's four singles on Tuesday, and that brought him to six straight games with a hit. Unfortunately, only one of those has been for extra bases, so his power is still a bit missing. Moustakas is biding his time while the obviously-rebuilding Royals hear offers and try to negotiate some type of deal before the t[...]

Mike Moustakas Breaks Slump With Three RBI rotoballer.com Sat 6/16/18 9:51 AM

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas has been slumping recently, but it hasn't really been noticeable in the KC clubhouse because just about everyone on the team is slumping. Over the last week, only two regulars are hitting over .200. Moose was one of the few bright spots on Friday when his two-out double drove in a pair of runs though. He would bring in another run with a timely walk later in the game, giving him his first runs batted in since June 8. Moustakas will be one of the t[...]
