Moreland homered, a solo shot, in a 2-for-3 game in Monday's loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland has sat out five of the past 10 games and was in a 10-for-45 funk dating back to June 17 before Monday's breakout performance,. His last multi-hit game game on June 16 and his last home run came on June 13, so he badly needed a night like this. Part of his time on the bench can be blamed on the Rangers playing in a National League stadium out of the break, but he is hitting a brutal .217/.254/.383 against left-handed pitching and will likely ride the pine against them as often as is feasible the rest of the way.

Moreland is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers don't have the DH spot available while playing in a National League park, so manager Jeff Banister will keep Prince Fielder in his lineup over Moreland. It's the second time in three games that Moreland has sat out.

Moreland is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs, according to Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland's absence from the lineup should not come as much of a surprise, as he started just one of the Rangers' previous eight games. However, the Rangers' lineup -- albeit one that does not include a DH -- confirms that he will continue to play a role off the bench as the second half begins.

Moreland (calf) is back in the lineup Saturday against the Twins, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland served as a pinch hitter in Friday's win over Minnesota, but he sat out each of the three games prior while battling a nagging calf issue. Having moved past the injury, he'll return to the lineup, batting eighth and manning first base.

Moreland (calf) is not in the starting lineup for the Rangers on Friday, Rangers Executive VP of Communications John Blake reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jurickson Profar will get the nod at first base and Prince Fielder will serve as the designated hitter for the Rangers as they face right-hander Kyle Gibson and the Twins on Friday. Moreland has not started since July 2 and there is no definite timetable for his return.

Moreland (calf) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland was scratched from Sunday's contest with tightness in his right calf and has been out of the lineup the past five games now due to the injury. Jurickson Profar will get his fifth straight start at first base Thursday in his absence.

Moreland (calf) is out of the lineup Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This is the fourth game Moreland has missed due to calf tightness, meaning the injury may be more serious than it seemed when he first missed time on Sunday. Jurickson Profar will start at first base Wednesday, as he has in the other games Moreland has missed.

Moreland (calf) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Although Moreland has already missed a pair of games due to calf tightness, Tuesday's absence from the lineup could be matchup-oriented given that the Rangers are stacking right-handed bats against southpaw David Price. Regardless, Moreland won't return to the lineup until Wednesday at the earliest when Texas faces Steven Wright. Jurickson Profar will start at first base in place of Moreland on Tuesday.

Moreland (calf) remains out of the lineup Monday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Initially scheduled to start Sunday against the Twins, Moreland ended up being a late scratch after developing tightness in his right calf, and it looks like that injury will cost him a second straight game. With the left-handed David Price on the mound for the Red Sox on Tuesday, it wouldn't be a surprise if Moreland missed another day as well, making him a less-than-ideal lineup option for fantasy owners this week. In his stead, Jurickson Profar will pick up a start at first base.

Moreland was scratched from Sunday's lineup with tightness in his right calf, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers made the announcement just minutes before the start of the game, leaving Moreland's DFS owners with few alternatives. He'll be replaced at first base by Jurickson Profar, who will also occupy the eighth spot in the order that would have gone to Moreland.
