Moreland (elbow) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Mariners, MLB.com's TR Sullivan reports.

Analysis:

Moreland is set to miss his third straight game due to an elbow issue. The first baseman remains optimistic he can avoid surgery to remove a loose body in his elbow, but he'll need to get back in the lineup soon if he plans on avoiding the disabled list. Adam Rosales will play first base Sunday, with Prince Fielder serving as the DH.
