Mitch Moreland

Mitch Moreland absent from Boston's Wednesday afternoon lineup

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles.

What It Means:

With Brock Holt moving over to first base and Eduardo Nunez returning to second, Moreland will get the afternoon off for the Sox.

Our models project Moreland for a .258 batting average with 15 home runs, 40 runs scored, and 45 RBI over 306 plate appearances remaining this season.
