Moustakas is not in the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas will hit the bench for just the second time all season; he's started the past 10 games for the Brewers, slashing .278/.395/.667 with four homers and a 7:9 BB:K over that stretch. Hernan Perez will start at the keystone and hit seventh in this one.

Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger has put together a five-game hit streak in which he's batting .368 (7-for-19) with three homers, five RBI and seven runs. Moustakas is already up to five home runs on the year, and in most fantasy formats he's already added second-base eligibility with 12 games played at the keystone, further boosting his value.

Moustakas went 1-for-2 with two walks, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 11-8 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old has gone yard in consecutive games, giving him four homers on the year to go along with two doubles - and only two singles, saddling Moustakas with a .211 batting average through 12 contests. That number should rise as the season progresses, but his power production will remain his biggest selling point as a fantasy asset.

Moustakas will head to the bench for the first time Saturday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas sits out against the left-handed Cole Hamels, though don't expect him to sit against every lefty, as he remained in the lineup Friday against Jose Quintana. Hernan Perez starts at second base Saturday.

Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

His third-inning shot of Dakota Hudson capped the scoring for the Brewers, and Brandon Woodruff and the bullpen took care of the rest. Moose's shift to second base hasn't cost him anything at the plate, as he's gone 4-for-9 with two homers through three games.

Moustakas went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Thursday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas plated Milwaukee's first run of the 2019 campaign in the second inning on a solo homer to dead center. He started at second base and stepped into the No. 6 spot in the batting order Thursday, which figures to be where he'll sit for the majority of the year amongst a stacked lineup featuring the reigning National League MVP, Christian Yelich.

Moustakas has gone 8-for-18 (.444) with two home runs and four RBI over his previous six spring games.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas is getting hot at the right time with Opening Day just a few days in the distance. He is set to play second base regularly this year for the first time in his career, and despite his inexperience at the position, figures to be in the lineup nearly every day out of the gate. He also figures to hit somewhere in the middle third of the Brewers' order, but could move around a spot or two depending if the opposing starter on a given day throws right-handed or left-handed.

Moustakas was confirmed as the Brewers' primary starting second baseman Monday, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas has played the position throughout spring, so manager Craig Counsell called the announcement a "little bit of a foregone conclusion." It remains to be seen how reliable he'll be defensively at his new spot, but that won't matter for fantasy owners in most leagues. Even if the Brewers decide he's unplayable at the keystone at some point this year, that decision isn't likely to come until he's picked up the added positional eligibility in most formats.

Moustakas went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas clubbed his first long ball of the spring in the second inning to give Milwaukee an early 1-0 lead. He once again slotted in at the keystone, although the transition to a new position hasn't slowed his bat thus far. He's gone 3-for-6 with a home run and two runs scored, although it's still early.

Moustakas said he felt comfortable at second base Sunday against the Rangers, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas admitted that he forgot to cover the base on a throw, but otherwise it was an uneventful debut at his new position. Manager Craig Counsell praised Moustakas, saying it was a good first outing and that he's confident the 30-year-old will only get better as he plays more second base. Travis Shaw is expected to be the primary third baseman, with Hernan Perez serving in a utility role.
