Grabs hit in return Moore (undisclosed) went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 1-0 extra-inning loss to the Orioles.
Impact The reason for Moore's absence Friday was not revealed, but he was back in action and played the full game at shortstop Saturday. The utility man is hitting .368 (.7-for-19) over 21 plate appearances in August, which has helped him earn semi-steady playing time. Overall, Moore has a .231/.315/.569 slash line with five home runs, two stolen bases, 12 RBI and 10 runs scored through 73 plate appearances this season.
AUGUST 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Back in lineup Moore (undisclosed) will bat seventh and play shortstop Saturday against the Orioles.
Impact Moore was scratched from Friday's lineup with an undisclosed issue, but whatever was ailing him was evidently minor. He could be in line for a run of starts at shortstop after J.P. Crawford landed on the injured list with a concussion Friday, though Jose Caballero will also be in the mix.
AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Scratched from lineup Moore was a late scratch from the Mariners' lineup Friday against the Orioles, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
Impact No reason was given, but Moore is presumably dealing with some sort of injury. Jose Caballero has entered the lineup at shortstop and will bat eighth.

Productive out of bottom of order Moore went 1-for-2 with an RBI triple, a walk and a run in a win over the Padres on Tuesday.
Impact Moore came through with yet another of his trademark extra-base hits, lacing a three-bagger in the sixth that plated Tom Murphy with a key insurance run for the Mariners. The veteran utility man's bat is starting to show some signs of life after a dismal delayed start to the season, as he's 5-for-10 with two doubles, Tuesday's triple, a home run, two RBI and three runs over his last four games, a surge that's pushed his average (currently .217) over the Mendoza Line for the first time in 2023.
AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Goes yard in win Moore went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Friday's 9-7 win over the Angels.
Impact Moore snapped an 0-for-7 skid with his second-inning blast. The utility man got the start in left field -- he's played there and at second base primarily there, though he's far from an everyday player. Moore sees a bit more than a short-side platoon role, challenging Josh Rojas and Jose Caballero at the keystone and Cade Marlowe in left. Moore is slashing .185/.279/.519 with five homers, 10 RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases through 61 plate appearances this year.
AUGUST 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Back in action Wednesday Moore (wrist) is back in the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox.
Impact Moore will start at second base and bat ninth versus the Red Sox and right-hander Kutter Crawford after missing a handful of games because of a wrist injury. The 31-year-old is coming off an encouraging month of July in which he slashed .280/.357/.720 across 28 plate appearances.
AUGUST 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Battling wrist issue Moore was unavailable off the bench Saturday against the Diamondbacks due to wrist injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Moore apparently tweaked his wrist on a diving play during Friday's victory, leaving him unavailable for Saturday's contest. The 31-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Sunday's series finale in Arizona.

Dylan Moore hits a pair of home runs as Mariners outlast Twins 8-7
Dylan Moore hit a pair of home runs and the Seattle Mariners survived a Minnesota Twins’ rally for an 8-7 win and a series victoryJULY 26, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Homers twice, drives in four Moore went 3-for-4 with two homers and four RBI in Wednesday's 8-7 victory over Minnesota.
Impact Moore extended Seattle's lead to 2-0 with a solo home run off Joe Ryan in the second inning before launching a three-run shot 429 feet off Jordan Balazovic in the fifth. The 30-year-old Moore now has four home runs on the season, three of which have come in his last four games -- he's gone 6-for-11 (.546) in that span. The utilityman could see a larger role with the Mariners if J.P. Crawford (knee) is forced to miss additional time. Moore's now slashing .186/.286/.512 with nine RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases through 49 plate appearances after missing the first two months of the season with an oblique injury.

Launches second homer Moore went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in a win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.
Impact The struggling utility man drew a start in left field and made good use of it, maintaining his curious streak of only compiling extra-base hits thus far this season. Moore's four hits in his first 40 plate appearances consist of a pair of two-baggers and homers apiece, but he's still carrying just a .111 average and .533 OPS over that span. A massive 45.0 percent strikeout rate and atypically low .125 BABIP are primary culprits in his struggles thus far, but Moore may be in store for some more consistent opportunities to get into a rhythm at the plate with Jarred Kelenic (foot) and AJ Pollock (hamstring) both sidelined.
JULY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Knocks in two Friday Moore went 1-for-3 with a two-run double and a walk in a loss to the Tigers on Friday.
Impact Moore laced a ball off the wall in center in the fifth inning to plate Eugenio Suarez and Tom Murphy with the Mariners' first two runs of the second half. The two-bagger was a badly needed taste of offensive success for Moore, who entered the game with a 1-for-27 tally over the first 15 games he'd appeared in this season. The veteran utility asset is seeing very infrequent playing time despite his versatility, although perhaps his success Friday will help him begin carving out more consistent opportunities.
JULY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Steals base as pinch runner Moore entered Sunday's loss to the Orioles as a pinch runner in the ninth inning and recorded a stolen base.
Impact Moore was swapped in for Ty France after the latter's two-out, ninth-inning single, and he worked himself into scoring position with his first steal of the season before finishing the game on second due to Teoscar Hernandez's strikeout. Moore has appeared in eight games overall (three starts) since making his delayed season debut and struggled mightily early, with a solo home run on Wednesday against the Yankees his only hit thus far across 18 plate appearances.
JUNE 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Swats first homer Moore homered in his lone plate appearance in a loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.
Impact Kolten Wong got the start at second base, but Moore pinch hit for him in the eighth inning and smacked a solo shot to left field. It was Moore's first hit of the season following an 0-for-13 start since coming off the injured list June 6. He has the ability to play all over the field but has gotten into just three contests over the past nine days.

Active in season debut Moore, just activated from a season-long stay on the injured list Tuesday, entered Wednesday's loss to the Padres as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and drew two walk...
Impact Moore swapped in for Eugenio Suarez at third base and subsequently came around to score Seattle's first run in the eighth, albeit after the Mariners were already down 10-0. The versatile utility asset should see fairly regular playing time moving forward considering his ability to fill in at every position except catcher.
JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Returns from injured list The Mariners reinstated Moore (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Impact Moore was placed on the injured list with a left oblique strain before the start of the season and is now ready to make his season debut. The 30-year-old utility man began his second attempt at a rehab assignment May 18 and slashed .212/.366/.242 over 41 plate appearances. He's unlikely to lock down a permanent starting role, but his defensive versatility should allow him to find a spot in the lineup somewhat often. Sam Haggerty was sent down to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Impact Moore has now played all nine frames in three straight rehab games, seemingly inching him ever closer to activation. The valued utility option may still get a handful more minor-league games to get his timing at the plate down, however, as he missed the entirety of the Cactus League schedule with his oblique injury.
MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Singes, steals at Tacoma Moore (oblique) went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Triple-A Tacoma's win over Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Impact Moore was making his Rainiers debut after moving up his rehab assignment from High-A Everett. The versatile 30-year-old started at second base and played eight innings before subbing out, and the fact he had the green light on the basepaths was certainly an encouraging sign with respect to his health. Moore may only need a handful more games down on the farm before he's deemed ready for activation.

Closing in on return Moore (oblique) could be activated from the injured list during Seattle's current 10-game homestand, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact The Mariners play 10 straight days from Monday through next Wednesday, and Moore could rejoin the big club before the end of that stretch. He played three of the last four days with Seattle's High-A affiliate and went 2-for-8 with an RBI and a pair of walks.
MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sees additional action Saturday Moore (oblique) started at shortstop and played seven innings in High-A Everett's loss to Spokane on Saturday, going 1-for-3 with a walk.
Impact Moore logged five innings Thursday in the resumption of his rehab assignment, and after an off day Friday during which he apparently didn't experience any residual effects, he was able to up his amount of time in the field. Moore may be moving his rehab assignment to a higher affiliate before too long if he continues free of setbacks.
MAY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Reaches safely in rehab resumption Moore (oblique) started at shortstop and played five innings in High-A Everett's loss to Spokane on Thursday, going 0-for-2 with a walk.
Impact Moore will be working up toward playing a full game on defense in coming days, but Thursday served as a good foundation for the resumption of his rehab assignment. The valued utility asset appears likely to make his regular-season debut at the big-league level at some point toward the beginning of June if all continues without setbacks during his time in the minors.
