    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, April 5, 2017 * The Boston Globe Red Sox’ Mitch Moreland now over the flu Peter Abraham Mitch Moreland was 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in his debut with the Red Sox on Monday. But the first baseman had a pretty good excuse. It was the first time in six days he faced live pitching, hardly an ideal way to prepare for the season and Pirates ace Gerrit Cole. Moreland played a spring training game March 27 in Sarasota, Fla., going 2 for 3 with two RBIs. A day later, he tested positive for the flu and was told to stay away from his teammates. “It was pretty bad,” Moreland said. “I’m a lot better now, but still feeling it a little.” When the team left Florida for Washington on March 29, Moreland stayed in Fort Myers then flew directly to Boston. It wasn’t until Sunday that he was cleared to play. The lefthanded-hitting Moreland batted fifth in the Opening Day lineup, high for a player who hit .233 with a .720 OPS for Texas last season. But manager John Farrell didn’t want to bunch together too many righthanded hitters. “Like his all-field approach. I think what he showed in spring training is a pretty clear understanding of how he was going to manage and handle his at-bats,” Farrell said. “Was willing to work a count; wasn’t overaggressive in certain situations.” With Moreland batting fifth, that dropped All-Star shortstop Xander Bogaerts to sixth. He was 2 for 4.
