EDGE Analysis

Moreland isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old will sit for the second time in the opening series with southpaw Wade LeBlanc taking the mound for Baltimore. Moreland went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday and should return to the starting nine Monday against Mets righty Michael Wacha.

Moreland is out of the lineup for Friday's season opener against the Orioles, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger will be serving as Boston's primary first baseman this season, but he's not starting Opening Day with southpaw Tommy Milone pitching for Baltimore. Moreland should be in the lineup Saturday against right-hander Alex Cobb.

Moreland posted an image of his new batting cage at home on Instagram.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland, like all baseball players, is doing what he needs to do to stay in shape while MLB is delayed until a future date. The 34-year-old Moreland is expected to serve as the left-handed component in a platoon at first base with Michael Chavis. In a part-time role last season due to injury, Moreland swatted 19 home runs, 17 doubles and knocked in 58 while posting a career-high .835 OPS runs over 91 games.

Moreland (hamstring) will play first base Tuesday against the Cardinals, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland has been dealing with a tight hamstring since the start of the month, though it wasn't considered too serious and he was able to serve as the designated hitter twice over the weekend. Back in the field more than two weeks before the start of the regular season, he should be good to go for Opening Day.

Moreland (knee) will primarily be used at first base when the Red Sox face right-handed starters, Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland, who started a second straight game Sunday as Boston's designated hitter, will reprise the role he held last season when 82 percent of his 335 plate appearances came against righties. When a lefty is scheduled, Michael Chavis will slide over from second base while Jose Peraza slots in at second. The knee injury may be behind him, but until he starts in the field, Moreland is considered day-to-day.

Moreland (hamstring) is batting fifth as the designated hitter in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland returned to the lineup as the DH for Saturday's contest and will do so again Sunday after going 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored. The 34-year-old picked up the hamstring injury last weekend, but it shouldn't impact his availability for Opening Day as he's set to begin the season at first base for the Red Sox.

Moreland (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter in Saturday's split-squad game against the Blue Jays, according to Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland is still not ready to occupy a defensive position, but he will see at-bats Saturday for the first time since March 1. As long as he avoids any setbacks, he should be back at first base soon and be at 100 percent before Opening Day.

Moreland (hamstring) will be the designated hitter Saturday against the Blue Jays, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland left Sunday's game against the Braves with hamstring tightness, though the Red Sox called his removal precautionary. He should still have plenty of time to get ready by Opening Day, barring setbacks.

Moreland's (hamstring) exit from Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Braves was out of an abundance of caution, and the injury doesn't appear to be serious, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland appeared to suffer the injury while playing first base during the first inning of Sunday's contest, but his exit was mainly a measure to prevent a more serious issue. While the 34-year-old isn't in the lineup against the Tigers on Monday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to the starting lineup in the near future, barring any setbacks.
