Mitch Moreland

Mitch Moreland on the bench Saturday for Boston

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland is out of the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

What It Means:

Moreland went 1-for-4 with a walk last night, but he'll head back to the bench on Saturday afternoon. Hanley Ramirez will hold down first base as Jackie Bradley Jr. ends up entering in his place in center.

Hitting .321 with 6 homers, Moreland is projected for 18 more dingers and a .258 average the rest of the way this season.
