Mitch Moreland

Mitch Moreland is not in the Red Sox lineup Tuesday night

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland is out of the lineup on Tuesday.

What It Means:

With the Kansas City Royals starting southpaw Matt Strahm, the Red Sox have decided to bench the lefty-swinging Moreland in favor of Sam Travis on Tuesday.

Over 316 plate appearances the rest of the season, our models project Moreland for 11 home runs and 40 RBI with a .259 batting average.
