Mitch Moreland moving to Boston's bench Monday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland is not starting in Monday's series opener versus right-hander Frankie Montas and the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

Moreland is 0-for-14 over the last four games, though he's driven in a run and scored a pair of his own. Michael Chavis is covering first base Monday while Tzu-Wei Lin draws the start at second.

numberFire's models expect Moreland to record 9 home runs, 46 RBI, and 42 runs scored over the rest of the season.
