Moreland went 0-for-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland returned to the lineup after a lengthy stay on the injured list. He had played just one game since May 25 due to a quad injury. The left-handed hitting Moreland should serve as the starter at first base against right-handers with Michael Chavis or Sam Travis slotting in against lefties.

Moreland (quadriceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and will bat seventh and play first base against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Back and quadriceps issues have held Moreland to just one game since May 25. He went 0-for-13 in four rehab games but was nevertheless deemed ready to go. He should play first base against most righties going forward.
