Mitch Moreland

Mitch Moreland heading back to Boston's bench on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays.

What It Means:

Moreland gave Hamley Ramirez the day off Sunday and he was solid with a double and a run scored. However, Ramirez is back at first base on Tuesday and hitting third against right-hander Jake Faria.

Our models project Moreland for a .259 batting average with 17 home runs, 46 runs scored, and 51 RBI over 354 plate appearances remaining this season.
