The Red Sox will once again go with an 11-man pitching staff for the American League Championship Series against the Astros, which begins tonight at Fenway Park (8:09 ET), and first baseman Mitch Moreland will be among its 25-man contingent.
Moreland has been day to day since suffering a right hamstring injury in Boston's AL Division Series win over the Yankees while rounding third base to score on an Ian Kinsler double in Game 2. The left-handed-hitting Moreland, who would be the conventional choice to start Games 1 and 2 against Astros righties Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole, was encouraged by his full workout on Friday.
