Moreland went yard twice, bringing his season total to six. His first was a solo shot that came in the sixth inning, with his second a walk-off two-run blast in the bottom of the ninth frame. Moreland has provided impressive power overall this season, currently maintaining a .613 ISO through 33 plate appearances.

Moreland went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland, who starts against right-handers only, bashed his fourth home run in a mere 24 at-bats. That's a pace greater than any of the league's home run leaders. Boston manager Ron Roenicke has not wavered in his deployment of the left-handed hitting first baseman, so fantasy owners will need to remain vigilant for opportunities when the Red Sox face right-handers.

Moreland is not starting Wednesday against the Rays, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland will retreat to the bench for Wednesday's series finale with a left-hander (Ryan Yarbrough) toeing the rubber for the opposition. The veteran slugger is 6-for-21 (.286) with three home runs and a double through seven appearances this season.

Moreland went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland was pinch-hit for in the sixth inning when southpaw Aaron Loup took the mound. However, he made the most of the opportunity he received, taking Charlie Morton deep for his third home run of the season in the second frame. Half of Moreland's hits this season half left the yard, and he's slugging .762 through 21 plate appearances.

Moreland is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Southpaw James Paxton is on the mound for the Yankees in the series finale, so the lefty-hitting Moreland will give way to platoon partner Michael Chavis at first base. Moreland has gotten off to a nice start to the abbreviated 60-game season, going 5-for-18 with two home runs, a double and five RBI.

Moreland (leg) will return to the lineup Saturday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland missed Thursday's game due to leg soreness and remained out Friday, though that could have been due to the Yankees starting southpaw Jordan Montgomery rather than the injury. He's back in action Saturday with righty Masahiro Tanaka on the mound for New York.

Moreland wasn't available off the bench in Thursday's win over the Mets due to leg soreness according to manageer Ron Roenicke, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
After the victory Roenicke said that the first baseman was not available because "his legs are just barking." The quote from the Boston skipper doesn't give much insight into whether or not Moreland will be available to play in Friday's series opener against the Yankees. Even if the 34-year old is ready to go Friday, he will likely not be among the Red Sox starting nine with southpaw Jordan Montgomery slated to start for New York.

Moreland is not in the lineup Tuesday against lefty David Peterson and the Mets, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland has now been on the bench against all three southpaws the Red Sox have faced this season. As with the first two games, Michael Chavis will get the nod at first base.
