MITCH MORELAND NEWS

Homers again Moreland went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Moreland, who starts against right-handers only, bashed his fourth home run in a mere 24 at-bats. That's a pace greater than any of the league's home run leaders. Boston manager Ron Roenicke has not wavered in his deployment of the left-handed hitting first baseman, so fantasy owners will need to remain vigilant for opportunities when the Red Sox face right-handers.

Sitting vs. left-hander Moreland is not starting Wednesday against the Rays, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Smacks third homer Moreland went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Rays.

Impact Moreland was pinch-hit for in the sixth inning when southpaw Aaron Loup took the mound. However, he made the most of the opportunity he received, taking Charlie Morton deep for his third home run of the season in the second frame. Half of Moreland's hits this season half left the yard, and he's slugging .762 through 21 plate appearances.

Out against lefty Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Benintendi is one of three lefty-hitting lineup regulars that will take a seat in the series finale with southpaw James Paxton on the bump for New York. First baseman Mitch Moreland and outfielder Alex Verdugo will join Benintendi on the bench. Benintendi has just two hits -- a single and a double -- in 34 at-bats this season.

Resting against lefty Moreland is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Southpaw James Paxton is on the mound for the Yankees in the series finale, so the lefty-hitting Moreland will give way to platoon partner Michael Chavis at first base. Moreland has gotten off to a nice start to the abbreviated 60-game season, going 5-for-18 with two home runs, a double and five RBI.

Remains out against lefty Moreland (leg) is not in the lineup Friday against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Moreland was unavailable Thursday due to leg soreness, though he may have been on the bench regardless Friday with left-hander Jordan Montgomery pitching for New York. Michael Chavis receives another start at first base for the Red Sox.

JULY 31, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with leg soreness Moreland wasn't available off the bench in Thursday's win over the Mets due to leg soreness according to manageer Ron Roenicke, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact After the victory Roenicke said that the first baseman was not available because "his legs are just barking." The quote from the Boston skipper doesn't give much insight into whether or not Moreland will be available to play in Friday's series opener against the Yankees. Even if the 34-year old is ready to go Friday, he will likely not be among the Red Sox starting nine with southpaw Jordan Montgomery slated to start for New York.

Sitting vs. southpaw Moreland is not starting Thursday against the Mets, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact As per usual, Moreland will retreat to the bench with a southpaw in Steven Matz starting for the Mets. Michael Chavis is starting at first base in place of Moreland in this one.

Conforto, Alonso, Smith homer for Mets to beat Red Sox 7-4

Michael Conforto, Pete Alonso and Dominic Smith all homered, Michael Wacha pitched well over five innings and the New York Mets beat the Boston Red Sox 7-4

JULY 28, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Drives in two versus Mets Moreland went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Mets.

Impact Moreland got the Red Sox on the board with a fourth-inning homer against Mets starter Michael Wacha. The first baseman then drove in Rafael Devers with an eighth-inning single. Moreland has two homers and three RBI in two games so far, playing strictly against right-handed pitchers.

Allows one run in win Wacha (1-0) allowed one run on five hits and a walk while striking out four in five innings in a win over the Red Sox on Monday.

Impact The lone blemish on Wacha's line came on a fourth-inning Mitch Moreland homer. Wacha is looking to bounce back from a poor 2019, when he went 6-7 with a 4.76 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and a career-worst 26 homers allowed in 29 appearances (24 starts). The 29-year-old right-hander is expected to make his next start Saturday in Atlanta.

Impact The veteran right-hander cruised through five frames with a three-hit shutout, but he was pulled at 78 pitches with one out during the sixth inning after surrendering a solo homer to Mitch Moreland. It's his first victory since 2018 after making just three starts last season before going down with an injury. Cobb will look to secure his second victory of the young season Friday against the Rays.
