EDGE Analysis

This explains why Moreland has been withheld from the starting lineup the past few days, as the slugger admitted that he wasn't even able to join Thursday's game as a pinch hitter due to soreness. He did state that he there's "a better chance" he will be available off the bench Friday, and that he anticipates a return to the lineup for the last two games of this series. That said, consider him day-to-day ahead of Saturday's affair.

EDGE Analysis

Though manager Alex Cora said Moreland would be back in the lineup for the rest of this series, the first baseman is once again absent from the starting nine for the third straight day. There's been some speculation that Moreland is dealing with lingering back pain that forced him to miss some time earlier this month, though he did pinch hit during Thursday's series opener and Cora has yet to definitively mention the problem. In his place, Steve Pearce will man first base.

Moreland, who was given a rest day Thursday, will start the final three games of the series against the Twins, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Alex Cora said the decision to sit Moreland on Thursday against a right-hander was due to some late-afternoon rain that fell in Boston prior to the game. "The conditions are not that great again so just stay away from (Moreland)," said Cora. "It's a four-game series so (Moreland) will play three out of four games." The decision to sit Moreland appears to be a nod to the back injury that flared up earlier this month. The Twins have right-handers scheduled Friday and Saturday, but Sunday is to be determined.
