Moss is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports. Moss had a solid game Saturday as he went 2-for-4 and drove in a run. He'll get the day off while Mike Moustakas moves to designated hitter Sunday.

Moss is out of the lineup against the Blue Jays on Thursday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports. Moss retreats to the bench for the second day in a row with left-hander J.A. Happ taking the mound for Toronto. In his place, Jorge Bonifacio will draw another start at the DH spot.

Moss is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports. This comes as no surprise given that a lefty (Brett Anderson) is toeing the rubber for the opposition. Moss has logged just 62 at-bats against lefties this season. Jorge Bonifacio will serve as the designated hitter in Moss's absence.
-
Moss went 2-for-2 with a grand slam and walked once in Tuesday's victory over the White Sox. The slugger's first-inning pop with the bases juiced proved to be the winning hit in the Royals' 4-3 victory. Moss has now homered in three straight games, going 6-for-9 and racking up nine RBI during that stretch.
-
Moss went 2-for-4 with a double, a three-run home run and four RBI during Sunday's win over Minnesota. This was Moss's first multi-hit game since Aug. 24, and he posted an ugly .107/.167/.214 slash line during that 10-game stretch. The veteran has provided owners with 19 homers, but his 40 RBI, 36 runs and .201 average aren't moving the fantasy needle in many settings.
