MITCH MORELAND #18 - DESIGNATED HITTER - OAKLAND ATHLETICS
Not in Friday's lineup Moreland isn't starting Friday against the Angels.
Out again in NL park Moreland is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Impact Moreland will be squeezed out of the lineup for a second straight day with no designated hitter available in San Diego. Since southpaw Blake Snell is starting for the Padres, there's a good chance the lefty-hitting Moreland would have sat if the game was played in Oakland, too.

Sitting in NL park Moreland is out of the lineup Tuesday at San Diego, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Moreland was not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Mariners, and he's on the bench again Tuesday since the A's are without the designated hitter in an NL park. It's only a two-game series in San Diego, so the veteran slugger should be back in the lineup for the four-game set against the Angels, which begins Thursday.

Lands on injured list Moreland was placed on the injured list Sunday for unspecified reasons.
Impact Manager Bob Melvin said Saturday that Moreland wouldn't play Sunday due to a "non-baseball issue," and the slugger has now landed on the shelf. The team didn't specify what IL the 35-year-old was placed on, so there's a chance he's on the COVID IL. If that's the case, Moreland could be activated as soon as he's cleared to rejoin the team. Stephen Piscotty (wrist) was activated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.
