Scott Moore returned to action on Tuesday September 11.

Scott Moore left Wednesday's game with a left groin strain. It's likely more than a day-to-day injury. Moore picked up a single in his two at-bats against Kevin Correia before exiting.

Scott Moore singled and belted a solo homer in Monday's loss to the Brewers. Moore has gotten plenty of playing time for the going-nowhere Astros and has managed to hit five homers over 25 games. He should be the regular third baseman with Chris Johnson no longer around and deserves attention in NL-only leagues.

Scott Moore singled and drove in both Astros runs with sac flies in Monday's win over the Padres. Both sac flies scored Jose Altuve. Moore has hit .267 with three homers in 12 games for the Astros, but the 15/1 K/BB ratio in 45 at-bats isn't pretty. The Astros will eventually give Brett Wallace a crack at the first base job, pushing Moore into a bench role.

The Astros will platoon Scott Moore and Matt Downs at first base following the departure of Carlos Lee. Both players aren't regulars at the position, but it should serve as an upgrade offensively, while allowing Chris Johnson to move to third base. Downs will be in the lineup against left-handed pitching, as he was Friday against Madison Bumgarner.

Scott Moore homered for the second consecutive game, leading the Astros to a 6-3 victory over the Brewers on Saturday. He finished the day 1-for-4 with the solo blast off Livan Hernandez in the third inning. Moore has provided a nice jolt to the Astros offense, hitting .323 with three homers and four RBI in his first 31 at-bats. He's seized the open at-bats after Carlos Lee's departure, and should continue to play everyday as long as he keeps hitting.
