Red Sox Put Mitch Moreland On Injured List
5 years agoThe Boston Red Sox placed first baseman Mitch Moreland (back) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a lower back strain. The move is retroactive to May 26. Moreland wasn't hitting for average (.228), but he was helping fantasy owners against right-handed pitching with 13 home runs, 25 runs and 34 RBI in his 149 at-bats. Steve Pearce will probably be the biggest beneficiary with Moreland sidelined, but Eduardo Nunez and maybe even Brock Holt might also factor in there. If you have other needs, don't feel compelled to hang onto Moreland in shallow mixed leagues.
