Mitch Moreland: (Ankle) To Miss Rest Of Season

Moreland has told the team he will have ankle reconstruction surgery and likely miss the rest of the season, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Jeff Wilson reports.

Analysis:

The particulars have not been finalized, but it seems like Moreland's 2014 campaign is over, and owners in single-season leagues can part ways with the Rangers' first baseman. He was supposed to receive a third opinion Tuesday, and that likely confirmed the worst for Moreland, leading to his decision to undergo season-ending surgery. With Prince Fielder also out for the season, Brad Snyder and Donnie Murphy are the primary first base options at the big league level.
