Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two strikeouts in Tuesday's loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

His homer off Kevin Gausman in the first inning was his second of the year. Moustakas has been overshadowed on the Reds by Nick Castellanos, newcomer Jonathan India and even Tyler Naquin, but Moustakas is quietly batting .286 with a .952 OPS through 11 games.

Moustakas went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 5-3 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas' solo homer in the fifth inning was his first long ball of the season and tied the game up at 2-2. Through four games, he's drawn five walks and knocked three extra-base hits.

Moustakas went 2-for-9 with a double, four walks, two RBI and two runs in the Reds' season-opening three-game series versus the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

After posting a career-worst 22.1 percent strikeout rate in 2020, Moustakas' performance at the plate in the first series of 2021 has to be viewed as encouraging. He demonstrated a disciplined eye during his 14 plate appearances against St. Louis, drawing four walks while not striking out a single time. Moustakas bat fifth in all three games of the series, and he'll remain in that lineup spot for Monday's contest against the Pirates.

Moustakas will start at third base for Tuesday's spring training game against the Rockies, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports. This is being done in conjunction with moving Eugenio Suarez over to shortstop.

EDGE Analysis

This would move Moustakas back to his original and presumably better defensive position, while giving a chance to Jonathan India to play at second base, giving the Reds an alternative to Kyle Farmer or Dee Strange-Gordon at shortstop. Giving Moustakas a third position of eligibility in-season along with first base and second base would also come in handy.

Moustakas reported to spring training fully healthy after having a season marred by multiple issues, including a quadriceps bruise, a foot contusion and a false-positive COVID test, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. "It definitely factored into it. I'm not going to be one to sit here and make excuses for my performance on the field," Moustakas said. "If I'm on the field, that means in my mind that I'm 100 percent ready to go. Last year, I didn't play as well as I wanted to play and I think that goes from offensively, top to bottom. We didn't do as well as we wanted to do offensively."

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas was one of many Reds players who struggled to hit for average, posting a .230/.31/.468 line in 44 games. On the bright side, he had a .914 OPS in September, suggesting that better times could be ahead.

Moustakas went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas was brought in to be a leader on this team, and while he's had an uneven couple of months around a stint on the IL with a quad injury, he came up huge Friday to lift the Reds to their first playoff berth since 2013. He's getting hot at the right time -- Moustakas is now 9-for-23 with five doubles and three homers in his last six games.

Moustakas went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, double and walk in Monday's 6-3 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The infielder's three-run shot off Drew Rasmussen in the eighth ended up being the difference maker for Cincinnati. It marked Moustakas's eighth homer and brought him to 23 RBI on the campaign.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas came up big in the fifth inning, putting his team in the lead with a three-run blast to center field. The veteran third baseman has slugged five home runs and sits with 17 RBI to go with a .220/.331/.410 slash line over 34 contests this season.

Moustakas (foot) is starting at first base and batting fifth Sunday against the Cardinals, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

He suffered a bruised foot Thursday and missed the next two games, but he is ready to get back in there for the series finale. Moustakas is hitting .240 with two home runs, seven strikeouts and four walks in 25 at-bats this month.

Moustakas (foot) isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas will miss his second consecutive game after leaving Thursday's game with a foot injury. He underwent an X-ray on Friday that came back negative, so it's unlikely that he'll face a significant absence.
