Mitch Moreland Improving, Steve Pearce Cleared
5 years agoBoston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (quadriceps) is improving and doing treadmill work after landing back on the injured list on Saturday. First baseman Steve Pearce (back) has been cleared to begin baseball activities on Monday. Moreland has been the much more fantasy relevant first baseman than Pearce in 2019, hitting .225 but with 13 home runs, 25 runs and 34 RBI in 151 at-bats as the team's primary first baseman against right-handed pitchers. Pearce is hitting under the Mendoza Line after winning the World Series MVP last fall. He's strictly a DFS option when he's healthy and facing the right lefty.
