Moreland will sit against lefty Justus Sheffield and the Mariners on Saturday, Lauren Smith of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland started against a lefty (Yusei Kikuchi) on Friday, but now that Eric Hosmer is back from his fractured finger, he won't have to any more. Both he and Hosmer are lefties, though, so it's still possible he's the one to get the nod against a southpaw occasionally. Hosmer will start at first base in this one, with Tommy Pham serving as the designated hitter.

Moreland will be on the bench Monday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland sits with Clayton Kershaw lined up to start for the Dodgers. The first baseman hasn't done much in his first 11 games for his new team, hitting .167/.231/.306. Jake Cronenworth will slide over to first Monday, with Jorge Mateo entering the lineup at second.

Moreland went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland took Antonio Senzatela yard in the opening inning, his first in a Padres uniform. He's yet to hit his stride in San Diego in all aspects of his performance as he's collected just five hits -- two of which have gone for extra-bases -- in 27 at-bats. Overall, Moreland's numbers still look good as he is hitting .287/.380/.628 across 108 plate appearances.

Moreland is expected to start most games at first base while Eric Hosmer (finger) is on the injured list, Annie Heilbrunn of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Padres' acquisition of Moreland at the trade deadline takes on extra significance with Hosmer expected to miss most of the remainder of the regular season with a broken finger. It remains to be seen whether Moreland will now be in the lineup on a regular basis against left-handed starters; he has 78 total at-bats on the season against righties but only 13 against southpaws, against whom he has registered three hits and two RBI. Should the Padres elect to keep the veteran's platoon role intact, both Jake Cronenworth and Austin Nola could end up logging time at first base. Moreland started and went 2-for-5 with a double against Colorado on Tuesday, with all five at-bats coming against right-handers.

Moreland isn't in the lineup Monday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland has gone hitless in his last seven at-bats, and he'll retreat to the bench for the third time in the past four games. Jorge Ona will make his major-league debut as the designated hitter Monday.

Moreland isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland will sit for a second consecutive game after going 2-for-11 in his last three contests. Austin Nola will serve as the designated hitter with Luis Campusano starting behind the dish.

Moreland isn't in Friday's lineup against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland went 2-for-11 with a walk and one strikeout over the past three games and will get a day off Friday. Luis Campusano will start as the designated hitter.

The Red Sox traded Moreland to the Padres on Sunday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Boston received infielder Hudson Potts and outfielder Jeisson Rosario in exchange from San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

As a veteran on an expiring contract, Moreland was an expendable piece for an 11-22 Red Sox squad ahead of Monday's trade deadline. In San Diego, Moreland should fill the large side of a platoon at designated hitter while occasionally spelling Eric Hosmer at first base. Moreland has posted 1.177 OPS over 79 plate appearances this season, and he owns a career .257/.326/.471 slash line (108 wRC+) versus right-handed pitching.

Moreland went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-1 loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland has been a bright light in a dismal season for the Red Sox, who managed just three hits in the loss. The homer was Moreland's team-high eighth in just 20 games. Starting only against right-handers -- he has nine plate appearances against southpaws -- the lefty-hitting Moreland is enjoying his best season, slashing .350/.458/.817.

Moreland went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

The key plate appearance for the veteran slugger came in the sixth inning when he drew a leadoff walk to chase Jays starter Chase Anderson from the game, and the Red Sox then erupted for six runs against the Toronto bullpen. Moreland continues to thrive in a platoon role -- he's seen only nine PAs all year against southpaws -- and is now slashing a massive .357/.471/.804 through 19 games with seven homers and 20 RBI.
