Moreland is not in the starting lineup for Game 5 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Sunday, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

As usual, Moreland will sit out to avoid a lefty-on-lefty matchup with Los Angeles starter Clayton Kershaw. He'll likely see a pinch-hit appearance at some point, however, especially after hitting a three-run, pinch-hit home run in Game 4. Steve Pearce will draw the start at first base in his stead.

Moreland is not in the lineup for Game 4 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Saturday, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland is out of the lineup for Game 2 of the World Series against Los Angeles on Wednesday, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland will remain on the pine for a second straight contest with southpaw Hyun-Jin Ryu on the bump for the Dodgers. Steve Pearce will draw another start in his place at first base. Look for Moreland to rejoin the starting lineup in Game 3 on Friday with right-hander Walker Buehler lined up to pitch.

Moreland is not in the lineup for Game 1 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Tuesday, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland will hit the bench for Game 1 with a lefty in Clayton Kershaw toeing the rubber for the opposition. With a southpaw (Hyun-Jin Ryu) also starting for the Dodgers on Wednesday, Moreland may have to wait until Game 3 to enter the starting nine. Steve Pearce gets the start at first base in this one, hitting third.

Moreland is starting at first base and hitting fifth in Game 5 of the ALCS against the Astros on Thursday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will mark Moreland's first start since suffering a hamstring injuring during Game 2 of the ALDS against the Yankees earlier in the month. The first baseman has appeared as a pinch hitter in each of the first four games of the series, going 1-for-2 with a walk and two RBI. He'll face Justin Verlander in his return to the starting nine.

Moreland is not in Wednesday's lineup for Game 4 of the ALCS against Houston, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland has yet to start a game this series, though he's been utilized as a pinch hitter during each of the three previous contests. During Tuesday's victory, Moreland got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to help continue the Red Sox's rally in the eighth inning. Steve Pearce will start at first base for Wednesday's affair.

Moreland is not in the lineup for Game 3 of the ALCS against the Astros on Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Moreland will hit the bench with lefty Dallas Keuchel toeing the rubber for Houston. The first baseman has made pinch-hit appearances during each of the first two games -- going 1-for-1 with a walk and an RBI -- and should be available off the bench once again in Game 3.

Moreland is not in the lineup for Game 2 of the ALCS against the Astros on Sunday, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland made a pinch-hit appearance in Saturday's series opener, but he'll be held out of the starting lineup once again despite righty Gerrit Cole taking the hill for Houston. It's unclear whether or not this is being caused by his nagging hamstring, but either way, Steve Pearce will pick up another start at first place in his stead.

Moreland is not starting the first game of the ALCS against Houston on Saturday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland was considered questionable to make the ALCS roster after suffering a hamstring injury in Game 2 of the ALDS. He was able to make the squad, but the fact that he's sitting for Game 1 despite the Astros starting a righty (Justin Verlander) indicates that the injury may still be bothering him.

Moreland (hamstring) remained on the Red Sox's active 25-man roster for the ALCS against Houston, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Alex Cora didn't make any changes from the club's ALDS roster last round, which is notable for Moreland since the first baseman had been dealing with a hamstring injury. Moreland was able to go through various drills Thursday afternoon, and should be ready to go for Friday's series opener. With right-hander Justin Verlander on the hill for Game 1, look for Moreland to draw the start at first base.
