Description: Athletics first baseman Brandon Moss clubbed two home runs and had three RBI Wednesday against New York. | Insight: Moss has four home runs and seven RBI over his last eight games (four starts), but he's batting just .145 (12-for-83) with 32 K over his last 32 games (21 starts). | | |
| 6/6/2013 5:45:00 PM |
Description: Athletics first baseman Brandon Moss is not in the starting lineup Thursday against the White Sox. | Insight: Moss has homered in two of the last three games, but he's hitting .132 (10-for-76) with zero multi-hit efforts over his last 27 games (20 starts). Moss is hitting .186 against lefties this season, so he'll take a seat with Jose Quintana on the mound. | | |
| 6/5/2013 10:47:00 AM |
Description: Athletics first baseman Brandon Moss is just 1-for-9 with four strikeouts against Milwaukee starter Yovani Gallardo. | Insight: Moss was a fantasy factor in April (.295, 4 HR, 19 RBI), but since then he's struggled batting .148 with four homers and nine RBI in 31 games. We expect Nate Freiman to get the start on Wednesday afternoon. | | |

Description: Athletics first baseman Brandon Moss is expected to be activated from the paternity leave list on Thursday, according to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle. | Insight: Moss left the team Tuesday for the birth of his child. He has two omers and 13 RBIs in 46 at-bats this year, but his .283 average will be unsustainable with his 26.9 percent strikeout rate. | | |

Description: Nobody has been able to stop Brandon Moss lately. The A's first baseman left the yard for the second night in a row Wednesday in Anaheim, finishing the night with three hits and five RBI. | Insight: Moss is 8-for-11 at the plate over his last three games with two homers and 10 RBI. The 29-year-old blasted a career-high 21 HR a season ago and he should have a chance to eclipse that total in 2013. | | |

Description: Oakland first baseman Brandon Moss left Thursday's game early after his wife went into labor. | Insight: If Moss has to miss any time, it will likely just be for one game. He is 1-for-11 in his first four games this season. | | |
| 4/3/2013 7:08:00 PM |
Description: Oakland first baseman Brandon Moss will take a seat Wednesday versus the Mariners. | Insight: He's gotten off to a tough start, going hitless in his first seven at bats. His backup Nate Freiman doesn't have any major league experience so it's unlikely that Moss will be relegated to platoon status even if he struggles this year. | | |

Description: First baseman Brandon Moss propelled Oakland to victory Saturday by delivering a walk-off three-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning. | Insight: The clutch homer was part of a 3-for-5 day for Moss. As it stands now, Oakland leads the Angels by two and a half games for the final Wild Card spot. Assuming that the A's hold on, they'll likely face either the Yankees or the Orioles in a tiebreaker game to determine who will advance to the American League Divison Series. | | |

Description: Athletics outfielder/first baseman Brandon Moss hasn't stopped hitting home runs since he joined Oakland a month ago. In 24 games, Moss has 10 round-trippers. | Insight: Moss has three homers in his last four games after he went yard Wednesday against the Red Sox. He also had three hits to raise his average to .282. | | |

Description: Athletics outfielder/first baseman Brandon Moss went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a homer and three RBIs Thursday against Colorado. | Insight: Moss hit 15 homers in 51 games for Triple-A Sacramento before getting a callup last week, and he hasn't stopped since he joined Oakland. In his first eight games with the big league club, Moss has slugged five home runs, including four in the last three games at Colorado. Still, don't get too excited about Moss, as he had just 15 MLB homers in 249 games prior to this season. Plus, four of his big flies this year came at Coors Field. | | |

Description: The Pirates have designated Moss for assignment. | Insight: Moss looked likely to be the odd man out in the Pirates' outfield, and that appears to be the case. Given his lack of defensive ability, an American League team may be his most likely landing spot. (SportsBuff.com) | | |

Description: The Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports Moss is currently trailing John Raynor for the Pirates' final backup outfielder spot. | Insight: Moss is out of minor league options, and the Pirates apparently think he would not clear waivers. So he may still wind up in the big leagues. (SportsBuff.com) | | |
| 3/2/2010 11:54:00 PM |
Description: Moss homered in his two at-bats during Tuesday's exhibition game against Manatee. | Insight: Moss does not appear to be in the Pirates' plans for 2010, so he (and the team, quite possibly) is likely hoping for a trade before spring is over. (SportsBuff.com) | | |

Description: Moss went 1-for-3 with a home run, RBI, walk and a run scored against the Reds on Wednesday. | Insight: Moss is now batting .244 with seven homers and 31 RBI so far this season. (SportsBuff.com) | | |

Description: Moss's walk off homer was his third in the five games. | Insight: What has gotten into the Pirates? First, Garrett Jones goes crazy and now Moss is following suit. Wednesday's trades should open up more playing time for Moss. (SportsBuff.com) | | |
| Hot | 5/20/2009 9:53:00 AM |
Description: Moss continued his hot streak by going 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI. He has his average up to .261. | Insight: Moss has a seven-game hitting streak in which he has 14 hits, including five doubles. He only has one homer this year and doesn't play every game (he sits against lefties), but he is worth adding in NL-only leagues. (SportsBuff.com) | | |

Description: Moss jammed his thumb while sliding headfirst in a triple attempt on Sunday. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, x-rays and an MRI were performed but the team declined to reveal the results. | Insight: Moss should be ready for Opening Day because surgery will not be needed. He hit eight homers in 256 at bats last year and is slated to be the Pirates right fielder. He could be a consideration in NL-only leagues. (SportsBuff.com) | | |
| Steady | 1/17/2009 1:43:00 PM |
Description: Moss took batting practice for the first time since October knee surgery, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Moss expects to be ready for Opening Day. | Insight: Moss could start for the Pirates in left field. He has some power potential with six homers in 158 at bats with the Pirates. Moss came to the Pirates from Boston in the Jason Bay deal. (SportsBuff.com) | | |
