Moustakas made the AL All-Star team after winning the event's final vote.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas beat out Xander Bogaerts, Didi Gregorius, Elvis Andrus and Logan Morrison to capture the final vote for the second time in his career (2015). The 28-year-old is hitting .275/.309/.570 with 25 home runs this season, a career high, and was already slated to take part in the Home Run Derby. Moustaskas will need to pack for an extra night, though, as he prepares for his big weekend under the spotlight.

Moustakas went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and two runs scored during Wednesday's win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas is scorching hot with six bombs, eight RBI and nine runs through his past eight games, and he's also up to an impressive .275/.309/.570 slash line for the season. The third baseman is already at a career-best 25 homers and is piecing together a high-end fantasy showing. After flashing tremendous upside for half a decade, the 28-year-old Moustakas has taken his game to the next level in 2017.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, his 24th of the season, in Tuesday's win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
The third baseman continues making a strong case for the final All-Star Game vote. Moustakas ranks third in the AL for home runs, and his .559 slugging percentage is seventh-best in the league. Over his last seven games, Moustakas has eight hits (four long balls), six RBI and seven runs. The 28-year-old is now on pace to challenge 50 homers and 100 RBI this season.

Moustakas is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas receives the afternooon off one day after he slugging his team-leading 22nd homer of the season in Game 1 of a doubleheader. It's likely that Moustakas will be back in the lineup Monday against the Mariners to take aim at extending his hitting streak to seven games, but he'll take a seat in favor of Ramon Torres in the series finale.

Moustakas went 1-for-5 with a solo homer Saturday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas left the yard for the 22nd time this season off Jose Berrios in a home loss. He's tied his career-high in homers and his .551 slugging percentage is easily the best of his career, making him a great fantasy value this season.

Moustakas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, 610 Sports Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas has started each of the Royals' 21 games in June, so manager Ned Yost has decided to give the slugging third baseman the day off. Cheslor Cuthbert will draw the start in his stead.

Moustakas went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas hammered a 3-2 offering from Johnny Cueto 406 feet to right field in the second inning to put the Royals on the board. With 18 long balls on the year, only Aaron Judge has more in the American League. Moustakas' BB/K is at a career-low level, but he is poised to set career-highs in home runs and RBI. His .565 slugging percentage ranks him second among third baseman in the American League.

Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
He's up to 17 home runs through 56 games, putting the third baseman on pace for a whopping 44 blasts this season (his career high of 22 was set in 2015). Moustakas also has a shot to drive in 100 runs for the first time in his seven MLB seasons, and his current .271/.310/.528 slash line is solidly ahead of his .249/.304/.414 career mark.

Moustakas had a huge game against the Astros on Tuesday, going 4-for-5 with a double, a homer, three RBI and two runs.
EDGE Analysis
His 15th long ball of the year ended the game in the bottom of the ninth and put a cap on a brilliant day for Moustakas, who's hit safely in six straight games, going 11-for-24 with two homers and three doubles in that span. His batting average is now up to a respectable .275, which complements his power output quite nicely. If Moustakas finds his way to a new team with a better lineup prior to the trade deadline, his fantasy value could really take off.

The Royals are ready to field offers for Moustakas as the summer's trade deadline comes into focus, Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was only a matter of time before the team folded its hand in 2017. With a rebuild in store, Moustakas holds solid trade value for the flailing club. His .255 batting average may not be appealing, but the third baseman has stroked his way to a career-high .510 slugging percentage through 49 games. Packing up and moving out of the Royals' lackluster lineup should improve Moustakas' fantasy value.
