MATT MOORE NEWS

Placed on injured list Moore was placed on the 10-day injured list with a low back strain Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 20.

Impact Moore tweaked his back during batting practice Wednesday, and the issue will force him to spent time on the injured list. He'll be eligible to return prior to the end of the regular season since the move was backdated to Monday, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be healthy enough in time. Left-hander Cristopher Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take his place in the bullpen.

Moving to bullpen Moore will be available out of the bullpen Saturday, with the Phillies expected to go with bullpen days in what had been his spot in the rotation, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia...

Impact Moore has been ineffective for most of the season, struggling to a 6.49 ERA and 1.63 WHIP across 13 starts and eight relief appearances. The expanded September rosters mean the Phillies won't need to use him to eat innings, though he could still be used in a multi-inning relief role during those bullpen games.

Struggles again Moore surrendered five runs on six hits and five walks while striking out two over 3.1 innings during Tuesday's win over the Nationals. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact A lack of control plagued Moore once again. The southpaw threw only 38 of his 82 pitches for strikes, registering a strike rate of 46.3 percent. Moore's start is the first by a Phillies pitcher with five-plus walks and two or fewer strikeouts since Henderson Alvarez in 2017. The 32-year-old has eclipsed five innings in a start just once across his last seven outings. Moore could potentially see another turn in the rotation if Zach Eflin (knee) remains on the shelf. If so, he lines up for a road start Monday at Milwaukee.

Pulled after four innings Moore (2-4) picked up the loss Thursday pitching four innings while allowing four runs on seven hits with two walks and two strikeouts in a loss to Arizona.

Impact Moore ran into trouble early Thursday allowing four consecutive singles in the second inning to plate two runs, while also later surrendering a two-run home run to Nick Ahmed. The southpaw only threw 70 pitches total in the contest, and has surpassed five innings in a start once across his last six outings. Moore will likely take the mound next week in Washington.

Starting Thursday's game Moore will start Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 32-year-old will step in to start on short notice after right-hander Zach Eflin was scratched due to a knee issue. Moore made his last start Friday, so he'll be pitching on normal rest in Thursday's series opener against Arizona.

Lasts 4.1 innings Friday Moore didn't factor into the decision Friday against San Diego after allowing two runs on three hits and four walks while fanning four across 4.1 innings.

Impact Moore has managed to bounce back from his Aug. 10 outing against the Dodgers, in which he gave up three runs and recorded just one out, and he's now allowed just two runs across 10.1 innings (two starts) since rejoining the rotation. He's started in 11 of his 19 appearances, though his recent performances have not been very good. He has given up at least two earned runs in all but one of his last nine outings, posting a 6.03 ERA across 37.1 innings in that span.

Stays in rotation Moore is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Padres in San Diego.

Impact Moore joined the rotation last week as a replacement for Chase Anderson, who had been moved to the injured list with a triceps issue. Though the veteran southpaw had maintained a 7.67 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in his previous seven outings with the Phillies before his Aug. 14 start against the Reds, he surprised by striking out eight over six no-hit innings. Moore's body of work this season would suggest his most recent start is a massive outlier, but he'll at least get the chance to make one more turn through the rotation while a now-healthy Anderson works out of the bullpen.

No-hits Reds through six Moore (2-3) picked up the win Saturday, tossing six no-hit, scoreless innings while walking two and striking out eight in a 6-1 win over the Reds.

Impact The veteran southpaw got the hook after 76 pitches (48 strikes) and handed things over to the Phillies' bullpen hoping for a combined no-hitter or at least a shutout, and predictably it couldn't get the job done as Archie Bradley served up a leadoff homer to Tyler Stephenson in the eighth inning. Both of Moore's wins on the season have come in August, as he got the victory Aug. 4 against the Nats after working four innings of long relief, but despite Saturday's outstanding effort, his 6.07 ERA on the season will likely bump him back to the bullpen once one of the Phillies' other rotation options gets healthy.

On track to join rotation Phillies manager Joe Girardi said Moore will likely start Saturday's game against the Reds, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Unless he's needed in relief during the Phillies' next three games, Moore will step back into the rotation as a replacement for Chase Anderson (triceps), who was placed on the injured list last weekend. Whether working as a starter or long reliever this season, Moore has been hit hard (2.1 HR/9, 1.63 WHIP) and has exhibited poor control (9.4 percent walk rate). Even in NL-only formats, Moore may do more harm than good for fantasy managers.
