Moreland is in the lineup for Game 2 of the ALDS Friday against the Blue Jays, Rangers VP of Comm. John Blake reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland was held out of Thursday's lineup with the Rangers using a righty-heavy lineup against Blue Jays ace David Price, but he will replace Mike Napoli at first base for Friday's contest. With Adrian Beltre (back) not starting Friday, Prince Fielder will move up to the third spot in the order, and Moreland will hit cleanup for the Rangers.

Moreland went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer against the Astros on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Moreland managed just three hits in 16 at-bats during this four-game sweep against Houston, but all of them were for extra bases (a double, two homers) and he drove in six runs in that span. He's quietly delivered not only 21 homers in 116 games, but also the finest batting average of his career at .283 right now.

Moreland is currently playing through multiple minor injuries, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Evan Grant reports.
EDGE Analysis
He has a bad ankle and sore lower legs, which is why he has been confined to first base or DH lately. Still, with the Rangers trying to win the division, Moreland should be in the lineup most days down the stretch.

Moreland is out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels.

Moreland is in Friday's lineup, batting fifth against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers return to an American League park this weekend after spending the week at Petco Park, home of the Padres. As such, Prince Fielder will slide back into his usual role as the DH and Moreland will take back over at first base.

Moreland is out of the lineup on Monday, according to Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
EDGE Analysis
With the Rangers traveling to San Diego, to keep Prince Fielder's bat in the lineup, Moreland finds himself without a position. He should be the first pinch hitter off the bench but could struggle to see the field this whole series.

Moreland is out of the lineup Wednesday against Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
The Blue Jays will turn to lefty David Price on the mound, which means the Rangers will get Mike Napoli's bat into the lineup and give Moreland the day off. Moreland figures to be back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale as the Rangers will be facing a right-hander.
