Moustakas went 2-for-4 with the Royals' only run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Twins. Moustakas has received the move to the two-spot in the order well, hitting safely in seven of his first eight games and posting a 1.121 OPS over that span. Of course, that pace may be unsustainable, but he appears to have turned it around at the plate since posting a career-low .212 batting average in 2014.

Moustakas will bat second in the Royals' order on Opening Day, Matthew DeFranks of FOX Sports Kansas City reports. Moustakas has been tearing the cover off the baseball this spring to the tune of a .911 OPS, and that was enough to move him up in the batting order after hitting near the bottom for the majority of last season. If he can continue to build off the momentum generated from last year's postseason run, Moustakas could once again be fantasy-relevant in mixed formats.

Moustakas went 1-for-3 with a grand slam home run in Monday's Cactus League game against the Rangers. Moustakas continues to ride the momentum he generated last postseason, collecting two long balls and an .852 OPS over 50 spring at-bats. If he can carry this into the regular season, the 26-year-old could represent an excellent bounceback candidate in 2015. Following a career-low .632 OPS last season, the price tag for Moustakas will surely be low on draft day.

Moustakas and the Royals avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.64 million deal. Moustakas was a key part of the Royals' run to the World Series, but he struggled in 140 regular season games, hitting just .212 with 15 home runs and a .632 OPS. The 26-year-old will return for another season as the starting third baseman, but he'll likely need to display marked improvement for the organization to commit to him long-term.

Moustakas homered leading off the 11th inning Thursday to give the Royals a 3-2 victory against the Angels in Game 1 of the ALDS. Moustakas hit the first extra-inning homer in postseason history for the Royals. Moustakas, who hit 15 homers this season, had not gone deep since Aug. 25.

Moustakas is out of the lineup Wednesday against the White Sox. The Royals will go with a right-handed heavy lineup to counter lefty Chris Sale, who is on the mound for the White Sox. Moustakas is just 4-for-20 with seven strikeouts in his career against Sale.

Moustakas is out of the lineup Monday against the White Sox. Moustakas will get the day off with left-hander John Danks taking the mound for Chicago. The Royals will go with Jayson Nix at third base in his place.

Moustakas is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers, Josh Vernier of 610 Sports Radio Kansas City reports. Moustakas has reached base in five consecutive games, batting .222 (4-for-18) with one RBI, one run, and two walks versus one strikeout. In his place, Christian Colon is covering third base and batting ninth in the order.

Moustakas provided all of the offense for the Royals Monday, launching a solo home run off of Michael Pineda. The home run was Moustakas' 15th of the season, and the third baseman has now hit safely in six straight games. Moustakas has had a rough go of things this season, but has managed to raise his average to .208 thanks to his recent strong play.

Moustakas is not in the lineup Wednesday, the Kansas City Star's Andy McCullough reports. Moustakas has five hits in his last five starts, but doesn't have an extra-base hit since Aug. 9, and has only three extra-base hits this month. Christian Colon will get the start at third.
