Moreland is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies due to soreness in his left big toe, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Apparently Moreland's mobility was restricted and he woke up with some soreness after getting hit by a pitch in Tuesday's game. It doesn't appear to be anything more than a day-to-day situation at this point, though his status will be updated as more information is available. Hanley Ramirez is starting in his place for Wednesday's contest.

Moreland is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though manager John Farrell previously indicated that Moreland would be in the lineup at first base for the Red Sox's two games in Philadelphia, the bench boss decided to reverse course and prioritize offense over defense by starting Hanley Ramirez at the position. Moreland could still pick up an at-bat or two during the contest as a pinch-hitter or late-inning defensive replacement for Ramirez.

Moreland went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, his ninth blast of the year, in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
He's working on an eight-game hitting streak, during which Moreland is slashing .406/.500/.750 with three homers, eight RBI and eight runs. With Hanley Ramirez still stuck at DH due to his balky shoulder, Moreland should remains a fixture in the Boston lineup at first base for the foreseeable future,

Moreland went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 5-3 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
It's his second homer in his last three games and eighth of the year, as Moreland continues to supply the Red Sox with a steady stick against right-handed pitching. The 31-year-old's numbers aren't necessarily all that impressive compared to some of the offensive explosions happening in 2017, but Moreland's .858 OPS would be a career high if he can keep it up.

Moreland is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees, Scott Lauber of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager John Farrell will rest multiple regulars with lefty CC Sabathia on the hill for the opposition, as Moreland will be joined on the bench by Andrew Benintendi and Pablo Sandoval. Moreland has struggled against left-handed pitching throughout his career, but has shown slight improvement this season, posting a .417 on-base percentage over a limited sample.

Moreland is not in the lineup Thursday against the Orioles, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland will head to the bench as the Orioles send southpaw Wade Miley to the mound for Thursday's series opener. Sam Travis will draw the start at first base in his stead, a trend that is expected to continue when the Red Sox face left-handed pitchers.

Moreland is out of the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox, Scott Lauber of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the left-handed Jose Quintana taking the mound for the White Sox, Boston will send Moreland to the bench and start Sam Travis at first base. Although Moreland is hitting .271/.369/.453 this season, he'll likely continue sharing time with Travis when the Red Sox face a southpaw.

EDGE Analysis
With southpaw Martin Perez taking the mound for Texas, Moreland will head to the bench for a night off. Sam Travis will make his major-league debut to replace him at first base.

Moreland went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 12-3 romp over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland's fifth home run of the season was also his third in as many games. His season slash line of .250/.352/.454 and five home runs and 21 RBI in 176 plate appearances doesn't move the needle all that much for fantasy owners, but his 16 doubles stand out. With everyday bats and run-producing opportunities aplenty for him in Boston's lineup, Moreland should retain deep mixed league value throughout the year.

Moreland is out of the lineup Saturday against the A's, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland has blasted home runs in two consecutive games, but gets the day off after starting the previous eight contests. Josh Rutledge will fill the void at first base and bat seventh in the order.
