MATT MOORE NEWS

Claimed by Miami Miami claimed Moore off waivers from the Guardians on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Moore will not be eligible for the playoffs given where this move falls on the baseball calendar, but he can give the Marlins' bullpen a boost over what remains of the regular season as they try to nail down a National League Wild Card spot. The veteran left-hander has registered a strong 2.77 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 57:14 K:BB in 48.2 innings of relief this year between Anaheim and Cleveland.

The Angels are placing six players on waivers, including four they acquired at the trade deadline, in hopes of clearing salary.

AUGUST 29, 2023

Placed on waivers The Angels placed Moore on waivers Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, Hunter Renfroe and Randal Grichuk have also been made available to other teams as the Angels throw in the towel on the 2023 season and look to gain some salary relief. Moore, 34, carries a 2.30 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 47:12 K:BB through 43 innings this year and should be of interest as a bullpen addition for just about any contending club.

Grabs 20th hold Moore earned a hold against the Mets on Friday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.

Impact Moore had a rare blow-up his previous time on the mound, giving up three runs in one inning against Cincinnati. He was back in form Friday, escaping with a scoreless frame despite seeing the first two batters he faced reach base via a double and an error. Since July 21, Moore had held the opponent scoreless in 13 of 14 appearances, notching eight holds while posting a 1.93 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB over 14 innings during that span. The southpaw leads the Angels with 20 holds on the campaign.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Continues impressive campaign Moore earned a hold against the Giants on Wednesday, issuing one walk and striking out one batter in a hitless and scoreless inning.

Impact Moore worked as the eighth-inning bridge to closer Carlos Estevez, and he navigated around a one-out walk to keep San Francisco off the scoreboard. The lefty reliever missed nearly eight weeks of action between mid-May and mid-July due to an oblique injury, but, remarkably, he still leads the Angels -- and is tied for ninth in the AL -- with 17 holds. Moore's outstanding stat line includes a 1.70 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB over 37 innings.

AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reinstated Friday Moore (oblique) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Impact As expected, Moore will resume his reliever role for the outset of the second half after missing seven weeks with an oblique injury. He has a 1.44 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 21 strikeouts in 25 innings.

Should be ready to go after break Moore (oblique) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is expected to be ready to return to the Angels following the All-Star break, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Moore was temporarily shut down from throwing after experiencing some soreness following a simulated game June 24. However, the southpaw was able to get back on the mound Tuesday and is slated to throw another bullpen this weekend. If he does so without any setbacks, Moore appears in line to be activated for the Angels' first game back from the All-Star break July 14.

JULY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Managing some soreness Moore (oblique) is dealing with some soreness after he threw a simulated game Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Manager Phil Nevin indicated the soreness isn't believed to be a setback, though it's certainly not an encouraging sign with the lefty closing in on his return from the injured list. Moore isn't throwing Sunday and will be re-evaluated Monday before the next steps in his rehab are determined.

JUNE 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't be activated Monday Moore (oblique) told reporters Saturday that he won't be activated off the injured list Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Moore threw a bullpen before Saturday's game against the Rockies, and he told reporters it went "ok" but not well enough to come off the 15-day IL come Monday. The left-hander said he needs at least one more session, and when that will come will be determined by how he feels Sunday. Once active, Moore should be a high-leverage option for the Angels' bullpen again.

JUNE 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Chance to return early next week Moore (oblique) will throw a bullpen tomorrow before a simulated game over the weekend, and he could return to the major-league roster early next week, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com

Impact Moore has been on the shelf since the end of May with a Grade 2 oblique strain. It appears the southpaw has a chance to return to the Los Angeles relief staff without a rehab stint, but that likely will be determined by how the simulated action over the weekend goes. One way or another, Moore should be pitching in the late innings for the Angels by the end of June.

JUNE 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws bullpen Sunday Moore (oblique) threw a bullpen session Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Manager Phil Nevin said Sunday that Moore's bullpen went better than expected, and the southpaw is scheduled for another bullpen Tuesday or Wednesday. If he feels good again following his mid-week throwing session, it wouldn't be surprising to see him embark on a rehab assignment soon.

JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Increasing throwing distance Moore (oblique) said he played catch from 60 feet Sunday, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Moore is gradually increasing his throwing distance off flat ground while he's in the early stages of a throwing program following a roughly two-week shutdown due to a right oblique strain. The veteran southpaw will need to advance to throwing off a mound and then facing hitters in live batting practice before the Angels map out a rehab assignment for him.

JUNE 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays catch on field Moore was able to play catch on the field prior to Saturday's game against Seattle, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Moore was cleared to resume a throwing program Friday, and the left-hander's first step is being able to participate in a game of catch. The left-hander is recovering from a Grade 2 oblique strain, and the hope is that he'll be able to return to the Angels' bullpen by the end of June.
