Moreland is not in the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

As per usual, Moreland will head to the bench with the opposition sending out a left-handed starter (Jordan Montgomery). Hanley Ramirez will man first base in his stead, clearing room for Chris Young to serve as the designated hitter.

Moreland is not in the starting lineup for Friday night's game against the Yankees, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

With lefty pitcher Jordan Montgomery taking the mound for the Yankees, it seems like a good night to give Moreland's left-handed bat a night off. Hanley Ramirez will take his place at first base and bat cleanup.

Moreland homered in his only plate appearance Friday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland was called upon to pinch hit in the 11th inning, and he crushed his 14th bomb of the year to provide the walk-off win for the Red Sox. After not leaving the yard since June 26, he's now homered in two of his last three games to get his August off to a great start. Although his .244 average and .429 slugging percentage aren't providing much help to fantasy owners, if he's embarking on a hot streak, he'll certainly be worth placing in fantasy lineups.

EDGE Analysis

Southpaw Carlos Rodon draws the start for the White Sox, so the 31-year-old heads to the bench in favor of Hanley Ramirez. Moreland has gotten hot of late, hitting .300 over the last seven days, and will likely be back in the starting nine Saturday.

Moreland takes a seat on the bench for Friday's contest with the Royals, Evan Drellich of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland will ride the pine with left-hander Jason Vargas toeing the rubber for the series opener. Hanley Ramirez draws the start at first while batting fourth.

Moreland is not in the lineup Monday against the Mariners, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

As is frequently the case when southpaws take the hill for the opposition, Moreland will cede Monday's start with lefty James Paxton toeing the rubber for Seattle. Hanley Ramirez will move over to man first base while Chris Young takes a turn as the designated hitter.

Moreland batted seventh in order Saturday for the first time this season. He went 1-for-3 with a walk and strikeout in a 7-3 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland has been a rock for the Red Sox this season, but has slumped since breaking his toe June 13 when he was hit by a pitch. Playing through the injury, Moreland is hitting just .163 with a .492 OPS since. Manager John Farrell told Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald that Moreland has been working with hitting coach Chili Davis and wanted to give him a different look by sliding him down the order.

Moreland is out of the lineup Thursday against Toronto, Evan Drellich of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland will once again take a seat in favor of Hanley Ramirez at first base. With southpaw Francisco Liriano on the mound for the Blue Jays, this move was to be expected, especially with Moreland's continual struggles at the plate. During the second half of the season, he is batting just 2-for-21 with nine strikeouts in seven games of action.

Moreland is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Blue Jays, Tim Britton of The Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's not necessarily surprising that he's sitting against lefty J.A. Happ, it's worth noting that Hanley Ramirez is starting at first base for just the third time this season -- a trend that could continue. While Moreland will still likely get some starts against righties, this would allow Boston to aggressively pursue any hitter at the trade deadline, as DH at-bats will be available. Moreland is hitting .165/.247/.282 with three home runs over his last 85 at-bats.

Moreland is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Yankees, Chad Jennings of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees are bringing left-hander CC Sabathia to the hill in Game 1, so as was the case Friday when another southpaw in Jordan Montgomery started for the opposition, Moreland will find himself on the bench. Sam Travis picks up his second start in three games at first base and will bat fifth.
