Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs, pushing his total to 34 round-trippers on the year, in Friday's loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas now has the third-most homers for a single season in Royals history. With three more bombs, the third baseman will pass Gary Gaetti (35 in 1995) and Steve Balboni (36 in 1985) for the franchise record. Among AL hitters, Moustakas has the second-most home runs, and ranks in the league's top-10 for RBI (75) and slugging percentage (.568).

Moustakas has been battling a sore knee since being hit by a pitch that cleared the benches on July 26 vs. the White Sox, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Based on his current streak (8-for-18 with two homers, four RBI and four runs over his last five games), Moustakas doesn't appear to be hindered much. However, the third baseman has looked uncomfortable at times recently, most noticeably while running the bases. Manager Ned Yost said Moustakas suffered a deep bruise in his hip that required draining, causing stiffness in the slugger's knee that may be lingering. Fantasy owners have no reason to sit the All-Star as of now, but it's certainly a situation worth monitoring.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's loss to St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

This was Moustakas' 32nd homer of the year and seventh through his past 16 games. The slugger is up to an impressive 73 RBI and 57 runs with a .276/.307/.588 slash line for the season, and Moustakas has finally fulfilled the potential that made him the second overall selection in the 2007 draft.

Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas' eighth-inning long ball pulled his team back within one run after falling behind by seven through two innings, but that's as close as it would get in this 8-7 loss. His 31 home runs are just five behind Mike Stanton for the league lead, as the third baseman has already obliterated his 2015 career high of 22 and is also just 10 RBI short of his career-best 82 from that season.

Moustakas is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Ned Yost will move two of his lefty-hitting regulars, Moustakas and Brandon Moss, to the bench for the series finale with southpaw Drew Pomeranz toeing the rubber for the Red Sox. Though he's been the Royals' top power hitter and is rapidly closing in on the franchise record of 36 home runs in a single season, Moustakas hasn't produced particularly well against lefty pitching this season, with his .752 OPS representing a 159-point drop from his mark against righties.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer Friday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas smashed his 30th homer of the season to break open a close game, helping to lead the Royals to a road win. The 28-year-old continues to mash, as he's provided fantasy owners with a .568 slugging percentage, a number he's never come close to approaching during his career. He'll continue to be one of the very best fantasy options at the hot corner.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI during Monday's win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Moustaskas went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's comeback victory over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

With all the talk surrounding Aaron Judge and his 31 home runs, you'd be hard-pressed to find many casual fans that know which AL player is ranked second behind the Yankees' rookie. Moustakas' two-homer night, and third blast in his last two games, puts him just three shots back of Judge on the season, and third overall in MLB. The third baseman's 62 RBI are 10th best in the AL, and his .566 slugging percentage ranks fifth through 87 games. Now in his seventh MLB campaign, Moustakas is having a breakout season that makes him a must-start across all formats.

Moustakas went 3-for-4 with three RBI and a run during Thursday's win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Dating back to before the All-Star break, Moustakas had just two RBI through his previous eight games, so this was a nice outburst at the dish. He's raised his game to another level in 2017 and checks outas a high-end fantasy asset with 25 homers, 59 RBI, 46 runs and a .275/.305/.544 slash line.

Moustakas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Ned Yost will give Moustakas the day off before he heads to Miami to participate in the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game over the next couple of days. Ramon Torres will take over at the hot corner, batting second.
