Steven Moya recalled, collects two hits in season debut

Steven Moya was recalled from Triple-A and started in left field for the Tigers on Thursday. He went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and two strikeouts.
Fantasy Impact:
Moya was raking in Triple-A, and considering the Tigers' early-season struggles on offense he was added to provide a boost. His addition moved Justin Upton the CF, a position he hasn't manned for some time. It won't help the team defensively, but Moya showed that he can hold his own in the majors with the two hits in his debut. He could be worth monitoring, but his limited plate discipline could lead to extended struggles in the majors. It's also not clear what type of playing time he'll receive. This could largely depend on whether or not Upton can 'handle' CF, as the veteran slugger isn't going to be benched after signing his monster contract with the team this offseason.
