Mitch Moreland

Mitch Moreland moving to Athletics' bench Tuesday afternoon

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Mitch Moreland is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against left-hander Jose Suarez and the Los Angeles Angels.

What It Means:

Moreland appears to be getting a routine day off against a lefty. He has gone 3-for-12 with a homer and a pair of doubles since being activated from the injured list at the end of last week. Jed Lowrie will bat cleanup as the Athletics' DH on Tuesday while Jacob Wilson makes a start on second base and bats ninth.

numberFire’s models project Lowrie for 10.3 FanDuel points and he has a $3,300 salary on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have an implied total of 4.7 runs.
