Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas made only his second start in the last eight games, with Elehuris Montero instead taking over primary duties at first base. He did manage to take Bryce Elder deep in the fifth inning for his fourth homer of the season and second in his last 15 at-bats. Even with that production, Moustakas appears destined for a bench role and could be in jeopardy of losing his roster spot once C.J. Cron (back) is able to return.

Moustakas went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Friday's 9-6 loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas kept things interesting with his eighth-inning blast, but the Rockies' offense stalled out. The infielder has gone 5-for-11 over his last four games, a short burst of hitting that could help him claw back some playing time at the corner infield spots. Moustakas is up to a .258/.345/.419 slash line with three homers, 15 RBI, 17 runs scored and six doubles through 37 contests overall.

Moustakas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas finds himself on the bench for a fourth consecutive game and looks as though he'll remain relegated to a reserve role even while C.J. Cron (back) is without a definitive timeline to return from the 10-day injured list. Nolan Jones will receive his third straight at first base and appears set to serve as Cron's primary replacement.

Moustakas is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas will take a seat after he went 3-for-7 with a run scored and an RBI while starting two games during the Rockies' three-game series with Texas. Michael Toglia will take over at first base and bat eighth in the series opener with Miami.

Moustakas is not in the starting lineup against Cincinnati on Wednesday, Suzie Hunter of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas is expected to handle the majority of reps at first base with C.J. Cron (back) on the injured list, but the veteran infielder will take a seat for the series finale against the Reds on Wednesday. Michael Toglia will get the start at first and hit seventh.

Moustakas will start at first base and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
With C.J. Cron (back) headed to the 10-day injured list, Moustakas could see a good number of starts at first base versus right-handed pitching in the coming weeks. The 34-year-old has managed a .688 OPS with one home run in his first 24 games this season.

Moustakas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas went a collective 4-for-12 with a double and two runs while he was included in the lineup each of the last three games, making one start apiece at designated hitter, first base and third base. While the Rockies have each of their top options at those respective spots (Charlie Blackmon, C.J. Cron and Ryan McMahon) available, however, Moustakas won't get the opportunity to play on a regular basis.

Moustakas went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's 6-0 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first multi-hit performance of the season for Moustakas, as he got the start at third base and hit sixth for the Rockies. With Elehuris Montero back down in Triple-A, there are at-bats available at the hot corner and at DH, but Moustakas hasn't done a lot to earn them so far by batting .243 with one homer, seven RBI and eight runs in 16 games.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas worked a 10-pitch at-bat against Anthony Banda in the ninth inning and finished it off with a 439-foot, two-run blast for his first long ball of the season. The veteran infielder made just his third start of the campaign for Colorado, and the homer was his second hit in 10 at-bats. Moustakas hasn't reached double-digit home runs since going deep 35 times with the Brewers in 2019, and he was plagued by injuries over his previous three seasons.

Moustakas was informed that he's made the Opening Day roster for the Rockies on Saturday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas signed as a non-roster invitee near the beginning of March, and the veteran infielder has hit .367/.387/.700 with two home runs in 31 plate appearances in the Cactus League. He'll likely get playing time at third base and designated hitter for the Rockies to begin the year, but fantasy players should take a wait-and-see approach with Moustakas given his struggles over the past few campaigns. Colorado will need to remove someone from the 40-man roster -- or add someone to the 60-day injured list -- in order to add him to the major-league roster.
