Mitch Moreland

Mitch Moreland absent from Boston's Tuesday lineup

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

What It Means:

Moreland is taking a seat on the bench with the Blue Jays starting lefty J.A. Happ. Hanley Ramirez will start at first base and hit third for the Sox.

Our models project Moreland to produce a .235 batting average with 12 home runs, 35 RBI, and 34 runs scored over 294 plate appearances remaining this season.
