Moreland was pulled from Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Braves with right hamstring tightness, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old received the start at first base and played the field during the top of the first inning; that's apparently when he sustained the injury since he was replaced by a pinch hitter in the bottom of the frame. Moreland's exit may be precautionary, but he's likely to take at least a few days off and should have his status updated sometime this week.

Moreland signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the Red Sox on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland will remain in Boston where he finished his third season with the club hitting .252/.328/.507 with 19 home runs and 58 RBI in 335 plate appearances throughout 2019. The left-handed hitting first baseman only started eight contests against southpaws, compared to 68 against righties. Michael Chavis will likely continue to accompany Moreland in a platoon role to begin the season. The deal includes a salary of $2.5 million in 2020 with a $3 million club option or a $500,000 buyout for 2021. Denyi Reyes was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Moreland went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer in Friday's win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland had half of his teams six hits and drove in half of his team's six runs. It was a big day at the plate for the slugger, who hadn't recorded a hit since Aug. 28, in part due to a run of off days against southpaws. The veteran now has 15 homers in 268 plate appearances, matching his total in 459 plate appearances from last season.
