Moreland went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Boston's 7-3 victory over Oakland on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland kept his recent hot streak rolling with his sixth inning grand slam off Emilio Pagan ultimately serving as the difference in the Red Sox victory. He's now slashing .333/.400/.615 over 39 at-bats and while he might find himself as part of a platoon with Hanley Ramirez healthy, he's been providing great fantasy value of late in the at-bats he is getting.

Moreland went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in a blowout win Wednesday over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland is on an absolute roll, with three-hit games in each of his past two starts and a brilliant .500/.577/.818 line in his past seven games. As long as Moreland keeps hitting like this, expect the Red Sox to find a way to get his bat in the lineup, at least against right-handed pitching.

Moreland went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored Sunday as the Red Sox defeated the Orioles 3-1.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland was out of the lineup Saturday, but continued his solid display of hitting during Sunday's winning effort. He's now collected at least one hit in each of his last five games, scoring three runs in that time. However, now that Hanley Ramirez has returned to full health after briefly battling a wrist injury, Moreland may not see at-bats on such a regular basis.

Moreland will play first base and bat third against Baltimore on Friday, The Boston Globe's Pete Abraham reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Hanley Ramirez sidelined with a wrist injury he suffered during Thursday's game, Moreland will get another start at first while slotting into a prime spot in Boston's explosive lineup. Moreland has been finding his groove lately, going 4-for-10 with a pair of doubles and two RBI in his last three appearances.

Moreland went 2-for-3 with an RBI Thursday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland entered the game in the first inning after Hanley Ramirez had to exit the contest after being hit on the wrist by a pitch. He has gotten only sporadic playing time and performed inconsistently in his 19 at-bats this season. However, he should see regular at-bats while Ramirez remains out, though it remains unclear just how long that will be.

Moreland went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

After being used as a late-inning defensive replacement in the first two games, Moreland started both weekend games at first base and went a combined 0-for-7 with a walk. With Hanley Ramirez healthy -- for now -- he's able to play the field, which will limit Moreland's plate appearances.

Moreland, who was on the bench for Boston's first two games, is expected to play in both games this weekend, Jason Mastrodnato of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Alex Cora had Moreland enter the first two games as a late-inning defensive replacement for Hanley Ramirez, but wants to give him starts Saturday and Sunday. In order to get Moreland in the lineup, Cora will manage a rotation at first base and designated hitter that includes Ramirez and J.D. Martinez.

Moreland went 0-for-3 in Friday's game against the Marlins and has just two hits over 14 spring at-bats.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland hasn't gotten on the field much during the early phase of spring training as the Red Sox look to get Hanley Ramirez comfortable at first base. He and Ramirez are expected to platoon there after Boston signed J.D. Martinez to be its primary designated hitter. Moreland had a career-high 508 at-bats in 2017, when Ramirez's shoulder prevented him from playing the field for much of the season. The shoulder is not an issue at this point, so Moreland should see a reduced number of plate appearances unless Ramirez gets hurt or proves to be inadequate defensively.

Moreland, who signed a two-year, $13 million contract with the Red Sox on Monday, said he is good to go after undergoing a procedure to repair a small meniscus tear earlier in the offseason, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland played through a broken toe that he suffered in June which eventually led to the knee issue, but he's expected to be fully healed in time to resume his normal offseason workout schedule. He figures to reprise his role as the team's starting first baseman after turning in a respectable .246/.326/.443 line with 34 doubles and 22 homers in his first year with Boston (149 games), though he could be relegated to a platoon with Hanley Ramirez (shoulder) if the Red Sox bring in another impact bat.

Moreland (knee) signed a two-year, $13 million contract with the Red Sox on Monday, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland will return to Boston after turning in a serviceable .246/.326/.443 line with 34 doubles and 22 homers across 149 games last season. The 32-year-old is one of just two American League first basemen to knock 20 doubles and 20 homers in each of the past three seasons, with Jose Abreu being the other. He struggled to hit for power against same-handed pitching (.684 OPS), so it's possible he finds himself on the stronger side of a platoon next season. Either way, he should be in line for another similar year of production, assuming the knee troubles he experienced at the end of last season are behind him.
