Moss is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Indians, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite reaching base twice in each of the first two games of the series, Moss will head to the bench for the series finale. Mike Moustakas will take over at DH, opening up a spot for Cheslor Cuthbert to start at the hot corner.

Moss is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Joel Goldberg of FOX Sports Kansas City reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will mark the fifth time in six games Moss has been relegated to the bench. Melky Cabrera will serve as DH, opening up a spot for Jorge Bonifacio to start in right field. Moss is batting just .206 on the season, so manager Ned Yost may be looking to deploy Bonifacio more often moving forward.

Moss is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With a left-hander (Derek Holland) on the hill for Chicago, Moss will be relegated to the bench for the fourth time in five games. Two of the other benchings came in St. Louis when the Royals weren't able to use a designated hitter, so Moss could still end up seeing most of the starts at DH when the Royals face right-handed pitching.

Moss is not in the lineup Friday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Moss will stay on the bench for the fourth straight game as Mike Moustakas takes a day off from the field while sliding into the DH spot during the series opener. The team is coming off a two-game set in St. Louis, so Moss only saw action as a pinch hitter in both contests, but figures to earn a majority of the at-bats in the designated hitting position moving forward.

Moss is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With no DH spot available in the Cardinals' National League park, Moss will retreat to the bench for a third straight contest. The 33-year-old is slashing just .208/.287/.428 in 80 games this season, and with the recent addition of Melky Cabrera, he could start to lose playing time to Jorge Bonifacio if he doesn't turn things around.

Moss is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out Tuesday's contest, Moss will be relegated to the bench again Wednesday, this time as a result of no DH spot being available in the National League park. The recent addition of Melky Cabrera has made the most negative effect on Jorge Bonifacio's playing time thus far, but Moss could end up being the victim if he fails to get going at the plate in his subsequent starts. Since his two-homer outburst Aug. 3, Moss has recorded two hits in his last 11 at-bats.

Moss is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Despite clubbing a homer against his former team in Monday's loss, Moss will head to the bench for a breather. Mike Moustakas will take over at DH, opening up a spot for recently reinstated Cheslor Cuthbert to start at third base.

Moss went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's loss to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Moss has shown some pop this season with 15 bombs and a .221 ISO, but his .209/.288/.430 slash line highlights his feast-or-famine results at the dish. His consistent at-bats and power are valuable in cavernous settings, but Moss' game-to-game inconsistency significantly limits his upside in most formats.

Moss is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Mariners, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moss will sit out with the Mariners bringing a left-hander (Marco Gonzales) to the hill for the front end of the twin bill, but he'll presumably rejoin the starting nine in the nightcap with right-hander Erasmo Ramirez starting that game for the M's. The recent addition of Melky Cabrera looks like it will have more of a negative impact on Jorge Bonifacio than Moss, who looks poised to occupy the larger side of a de facto platoon with Bonifacio at either designated hitter or a corner-outfield spot in most games.

Moss went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in Thursday's win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Moss' 14th blast was a two-run shot in the fifth inning to tie the game, and his 15th hammer in the eighth frame put the game away for good. Unfortunately, he only has 28 RBI to show for his power this season, partly due to Mike Moustakas (70 RBI) has been clearing the bags before Moss even steps to the plate. The good news is that the 33-year-old is hitting stride as fall approaches. Since the All-Star break, Moss has raised his batting average by 14 points (.196 to .210) while boosting his OPS by 61 points (.657 to .718).
