Jun 1 2025Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the third straight game, Moore is on the bench against a right-handed pitcher, a sign that he's lost hold of his spot in the Mariners' everyday lineup. Cole Young will pick up his second consecutive start at the keystone following his call-up from Triple-A Tacoma and looks as though he'll be prioritized ahead of Moore, who could end up filling the short side of a platoon at second base with the rookie.
May 31 2025Moore is not in Seattle's starting lineup against Minnesota on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will be out of the Mariners' lineup for the third time in four games, and the veteran infielder could be losing his grasp on the starting spot at the keystone after Cole Young was promoted from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday. Moore is slashing .264/.322/.481 with eight steals, eight home runs an 16 RBI across 143 plate appearances this season.
May 30 2025Moore is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Twins on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will begin the Mariners' weekend series in the dugout while Miles Mastrobuoni starts at second base and bats eighth. Moore has slashed .241/.297/.397 with three steals, two home runs and seven RBI over 64 plate appearances since returning from the 10-day injured list in early May.
May 28 2025Moore isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will get a day to rest after going 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored during Tuesday's contest. His absence will allow Miles Mastrobuoni to start at second base and at eighth.
May 27 2025Moore went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Monday's 9-1 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore went 0-for-10 over his previous three games before breaking the short slump in a big way Tuesday. The utility player has posted three multi-hit efforts over 18 games in May. For the season, he's hitting .272 with an .827 OPS, eight home runs, eight stolen bases, 16 RBI, 21 runs scored and four doubles over 41 contests. He is seeing a majority of his playing time at second base but can fill in all around the diamond.
May 22 2025Moore went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-2 loss to the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was Moore's first multi-hit effort since May 7, his second game back from a mild hip injury. Over the previous 11 contests, he went just 6-for-29 (.207) with a home run, four RBI and a 4:15 BB:K. The utility player still gets in the lineup a majority of the time, but his recent struggles at the plate could see his role reduced slightly until he turns things around. Moore has a .279/.339/.514 slash line with eight homers, 16 RBI, 20 runs scored, eight stolen bases and two doubles across 124 plate appearances. While the hitting has been decent overall, he's had some struggles defensively -- his five errors this season already match his totals from each of the previous two years.
May 18 2025Moore is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will sit for the third time in Seattle's past four games despite having a .778 OPS in nine contests since coming off the injured list May 6. Leo Rivas will cover the keystone and bat ninth in the series finale in San Diego.
May 16 2025Moore is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Padres on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will be out Seattle's lineup for a second straight game while Miles Mastrobuoni starts at third base and bats eighth. Moore is slashing .286/.343/.538 with seven steals, seven home runs and 13 RBI across 102 plate appearances this season.
May 14 2025Moore is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will get a breather for the day game after he had started in each of Seattle's last three contests while going 3-for-8 with a home run, a walk and two RBI. Miles Mastrobuoni will spell Moore at second base.
May 11 2025Moore went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-1 loss to the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore is 4-for-15 with a homer, two stolen bases and three RBI over four games since he returned from a hip strain. The utility player has been one of the Mariners' strongest hitters so far this season, racking up seven homers, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored, seven steals and a .282/.330/.553 slash line through 27 contests. He's already over halfway to matching his career high in homers, which was in 2021 when he slugged 12 long balls in 126 games.
May 10 2025Moore is not in Seattle's starting lineup against Toronto on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has started in the Mariners' last three games since returning from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. He'll begin Saturday's contest in the dugout while Miles Mastrobuoni starts at third base and bats eighth.
May 6 2025Moore went 1-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore missed the minimum 10 days on the injured list due to a mild hip strain. The utility player played the full game in right field, though it's expected he'll move around the lineup going forward. Second base and right field are his best bets for playing time to help cover the absences of Ryan Bliss (biceps) and Luke Raley (oblique). Moore is batting .284 with an .878 OPS, six home runs, 10 RBI, 16 runs scored and six steals over 24 contests this season. That kind of production, as well as multi-position eligibility, makes him a useful player to roster in all fantasy formats.
Apr 30 2025Moore (hip) said Tuesday that he expects to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible May 7, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He first tweaked his hip/adductor last week and was given an MRI over the weekend, which showed that the injury is "not even a Grade 1 strain," per Moore. However, the Mariners decided to exercise caution and put the super-utility player on the IL. It's unclear whether Moore will need a rehab assignment.
Apr 20 2025Moore went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-3 victory of the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Seattle utility man drew the start at shortstop and occupied the leadoff spot. Moore popped a 364-foot solo shot off Easton Lucas on the third pitch of the game to give the Mariners the lead. Moore is enjoying a scorching start this season, slashing .316/.371/.596 with five homers, 12 runs scored and seven RBI while going 5-for-9 on steal attempts.
Apr 18 2025Moore is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore is coming off a monster series against the Reds, having gone 7-for-12 with two home runs and two stolen bases. Despite that, he will begin the series opener versus the Blue Jays on the bench. Miles Mastrobuoni will start at second base and hit seventh for the Mariners.
Apr 15 2025Moore went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's loss to Cincinnati. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore popped a leadoff homer before adding an RBI single in the second inning. He capped off his day with a two-run shot in the fifth, but unfortunately for Seattle, his four-RBI day was the only offense in the 8-4 loss. Moore's big night boosted his slash line to .306/.375/.639 with four home runs and six RBI through 40 plate appearances.
Apr 12 2025Moore isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will step out of the lineup for a second consecutive game after going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts across his last two games. His absence will allow Leo Rivas to start at the keystone and bat eighth.
Apr 5 2025Moore went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Giants on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore provided the only run for Seattle on his 411-foot solo shot to center field in the fifth inning. The long ball continued a hot start to the season for the utility man, as he is slashing .400/.500/.800 with two homers, two RBI, three runs and a stolen base through 18 plate appearances. Moore doesn't have a set position or an everyday starting role, but the Mariners have been finding ways to get him into contests consistently. In addition to entering three games as a pinch hitter, Moore has already logged time at first base, second base, third base and DH this season.
Apr 2 2025Moore went 1-for-1 with two walks and a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Detroit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore smacked an 87 mph slider off Tarik Skubal deep to right field in what was ultimately the game-winning home run. Two of Moore's three starts have come at second base, and his versatility to serve in the infield and outfield should allow him to see regular playing time in 2025.
Mar 28 2025Moore (illness) is starting at second base and batting eighth in Friday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore fell ill towards the tail end of spring training, but he has recovered enough to be ready for Opening Day. Moore finished the 2024 regular season with a .201/.320/.367 slash line with 32 stolen bases, 10 home runs and 42 RBI across 441 plate appearances.
Mar 23 2025Moore was scratched from Sunday's spring lineup due to an illness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore was originally slated to start at third base Sunday, but Miles Mastrobuoni has been moved there in his place. Moore will look to recover in time for Opening Day and is expected to serve in a utility role this season.
Mar 18 2025Moore could end up serving mostly as a utility player this season as opposed to being an everyday starter, Tim Booth of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mariners have holes to fill in the infield following the offseason departures of Josh Rojas and Justin Turner from Seattle. Jorge Polanco is penciled in as the club's primary third baseman, and a strong spring training by Ryan Bliss has put him in contention to start at second base to open the season. Moore is just 3-for-34 this spring and could be on the outside looking in when it comes to an everyday role, but he should see plenty of action while bouncing all around the diamond in 2025. "I think as a utility player, when there is a spot open or there is availability for a spot, somebody goes down, that is also your job," Moore said. "So if there is a spot open, I always think that I am the guy to go fill that need for however long."
Mar 3 2025Moore went 0-for-3 in Monday's Cactus League game against Cleveland and is now 0-for-14 during spring training. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's been a sluggish start to the spring for Moore, who is auditioning for the gig as Seattle's primary second baseman in 2025. Jorge Polanco is set to move to third base following the departure of Josh Rojas this past offseason, clearing up plenty of reps at the keystone. Moore has position eligibility in fantasy leagues essentially across the entire diamond and is capable of stealing bases in bunches when given consistent at-bats, so he remains a late-round flier in drafts this spring.
Sep 22 2024Moore went 0-for-3 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and two runs in a win over the Rangers on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore managed to still make an impact during a hitless effort, ringing up his 31st steal of the campaign and scoring on both occasions during which he reached safely. The 32-year-old has hit just .214 over 35 plate appearances in September, but he boasts a .343 on-base percentage in that same span thanks largely to a 14.3 percent walk rate.
Sep 20 2024Moore went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in a win over the Yankees on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore had his most active game offensively since Sept. 4 by getting on the basepaths three times, and he commemorated the occasion with his 30th steal of the campaign. Despite Thursday's busy night, Moore has had a serviceable but relatively unremarkable month thus far, hitting .250 with two extra-base hits, four RBI, four walks, two stolen bases and two runs across 29 plate appearances over 13 games.
Sep 7 2024Moore went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a win over the Cardinals on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore slugged a two-run shot in the sixth inning to extend the Mariners' lead to 3-0, giving him his second straight two-RBI effort. The round tripper also snapped a 31-game homerless drought for Moore, who'd last left the yard July 26. The veteran sports a .701 OPS for the season despite the drag of a .205 average, as he's knocked 36 of his 69 hits for extra bases and sports an 11.0 percent walk rate.
Sep 5 2024Moore went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's win over Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore drove home Luis Urias with a two-out RBI single in the fourth before going on to swipe his 29th bag of the campaign and his sixth over his last 10 games (though he only started in eight of those contests). The utility man would later add a double and a sacrifice fly during a seven-run seventh inning for Seattle, marking his second-straight start in which he logged multiple hits. Moore has also hit safely in four of his last six starts, batting .352 (6-for-17) over those games with three doubles, two RBI and five runs scored.
Sep 1 2024Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore had started each of the last four games while going 3-for-11 with two doubles and a stolen base, but he'll retreat to the bench while the Angels send right-hander Caden Dana to the hill. The utility man should continue to pick up regular starts against left-handed pitching, but his playing time versus righties may be more sporadic in September.
Aug 26 2024Moore is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he initially picked up most of the starts at shortstop after J.P. Crawford (finger) landed on the injured list July 23, Moore has since shifted into more of a utility role. He made both of his last two starts against left-handed pitching while seeing time in left field and at third base, and Moore has been held out of the lineup entirely in four consecutive matchups with right-handed pitchers. The Mariners seem content to roll with Leo Rivas their primary option at shortstop until Crawford is ready to return from the IL.
Aug 24 2024Moore entered Friday's extra-inning victory over the Giants as a pinch runner in the bottom of the 10th inning, recording a stolen base and the game-winning run. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore opened the 10th as the phantom runner and swiped third base, putting him in prime position to subsequently score the game-winning run on Leo Rivas' single. Moore has been mostly quiet at the plate of late -- he came into Friday mired in a 2-for-20 skid over his previous nine games -- but he's now up to a career-high 24 stolen bases on the season and has belted over half of his 62 hits for extra bases.
Aug 18 2024Moore is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore struck out in all four at-bats in Saturday's 7-2 loss to Pittsburgh. Leo Rivas will start at shortstop and bat ninth against Pirates right-hander Jake Woodford.
Aug 16 2024Moore went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in a loss to the Tigers on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore took advantage of his lone time on the basepaths to record his 22nd steal of the campaign, a new career high. The versatile veteran finished July on a six-game hitting streak, but his bat has gone cold in August to the tune of a .118/.268/.147 slash line and 34.1 percent strikeout rate across 41 plate appearances (11 games).
Aug 10 2024Moore went 2-for-4 with a run in a win over the Mets on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore generated the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Mariners, accomplishing the feat for the first time since July 30. The veteran's bat had been very quiet since then, with Moore posting an anemic .091 average (2-for-22) with no extra-base hits, one RBI and a 33.3 percent strikeout rate in the seven games prior to Friday.
Jul 31 2024Moore went 2-for-3 with a three-run double, another two-bagger, a stolen base and a walk in a win over the Red Sox on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The hot-hitting Moore delivered a clutch double in the fifth inning with the Mariners having just forged a one-run lead, driving home Jorge Polanco, Victor Robles (hip) and Randy Arozarena. The double pushed Moore's RBI total to seven over his last five games, while also extending his hitting streak to five games. The 31-year-old has started putting good wood on the ball again following a quiet stretch earlier in July, as he's laced four doubles in the last three contests alone.
Jul 29 2024Moore went 1-for-4 with a ground-rule double, two stolen bases and two runs in a win over the White Sox on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore made good use of his opportunities Sunday, stealing third after his second-inning ground-rule double and recording another pilfer after his fielder's choice groundout in the following frame. Moore has now hit safely in three straight, and Sunday marked his third multi-steal tally of the campaign and first since May 24. The versatile veteran is now just one stolen base away from reaching the 20-mark in that category for the third time in the last four seasons.
Jul 27 2024Moore went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a win over the White Sox on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore uncorked the second of three straight first-inning home runs for the Mariners, slugging a 392-foot shot to left center for his ninth long ball of the season. The big hit snapped a rare 22-game homerless drought for Moore, while also serving as a temporary reprieve from the 1-for-13 skid that had encompassed his previous five games.
Jul 24 2024Moore will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will make a fifth consecutive start and his second straight at shortstop, which will likely be his primary home for the foreseeable future while J.P. Crawford is on the shelf with a fractured hand. Though his 28.7 percent strikeout rate has played a major part in suppressing his batting average (.206), Moore brings an intriguing blend of pop and speed to the table. Despite not being a full-time player throughout the season, Moore has already tallied eight home runs and 17 stolen bases over his 286 plate appearances.
Jul 22 2024Moore went 1-for-2 with a two-run triple and a walk in a win over the Astros on Sunday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The slugging veteran came into the day with just a single extra-base hit -- another three-bagger -- in his previous 16 games, but he snapped that rare drought with a second-inning laser that plated Josh Rojas and Luke Raley to give the Mariners an early 2-0 lead. The two RBI were also Moore's first since June 22, and despite Sunday's success, he's still carrying a .212 batting average that has plenty of room for improvement.
Jul 15 2024Moore went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Angels on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore reached safely for the fourth time in his last five starts and recorded his fourth steal over the last eight games in the process. The veteran heads into the All-Star break with a serviceable .714 OPS, but the extra-base hits that have played a large role in that figure and become his calling card have surprisingly dried up of late. Moore has just one hit greater than a single in his last 15 games, and he heads into the pause in play with a 17-game home-run drought.
Jul 11 2024Moore went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a win over the Padres on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore delivered one of the Mariners' four singles on the night and also continued inching closer to surpassing the career-high 21 steals he recorded in both 2021 and 2022 by swiping his 16th bag of the campaign. Moore has also hit safely in four consecutive starts, but his .213 average still leaves plenty to be desired.
Jul 8 2024Moore entered Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays as a pinch runner in the eighth inning and remained in the game in left field, going 1-for-1 with a single and a stolen base. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore was able to leg out an infield single in the 10th inning and then was part of a double steal with Ryan Bliss, but the pair was ultimately stranded by a J.P. Crawford popup and Cal Raleigh flyout that ended the game. Moore had started the first two games of the series and three of the last four games overall, and Sunday marked his third straight game with a single. However, Moore hasn't been making as much impactful contact as usual lately, as he has just one extra-base hit (a triple), in his last 10 games.
Jul 5 2024Moore went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has gone just 2-for-14 with two walks over his last seven games. The versatile 31-year-old continues to offer speed when in the lineup for the Mariners -- he's 14-for-16 on stolen base attempts this season, including a perfect 6-for-6 since the start of June. Getting on base is another story, as he's hitting just .207 with a .315 on-base percentage, eight home runs, 26 RBI, 31 runs scored, 14 doubles and three triples across 72 contests.
Jun 24 2024Moore is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The versatile Moore should retain a regular spot in the Seattle lineup against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities to play against righties should take a sizable hit with Jorge Polanco (hamstring) making his return from the injured list Monday. Moore had already seen his streak of nine consecutive starts come to an end in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins, when manager Scott Servais opted to move him to the bench against Miami right-hander Kyle Tyler.
Jun 23 2024Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will get a rest Sunday after going 2-for-5 with two doubles, one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-0 win over Miami. Ryan Bliss will start at second base and bat ninth against Marlins right-hander Kyle Tyler.
Jun 21 2024Moore went 1-for-3 with with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Guardians on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore got the Mariners' night started on the right foot with his first-inning 429-foot shot to left field. The round tripper was Moore's second in the last three games, following a 21-game homer drought. Moore has been particularly active on the basepaths of late, recording four steals in his last five contests to push his season total to 13.
Jun 19 2024Moore went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, two additional runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore extended Seattle's lead to 7-1 with a 402-foot blast off Cade Smith in the sixth inning, his seventh long ball of the year and first since May 21. The 31-year-old Moore had been slumping coming into Tuesday's contest, going 5-for-51 in his previous 16 games. Overall, he's slashing .210/.323/.409 with 23 RBI, 27 runs scored and 12 stolen bases across 60 games in a utility role this season.
Jun 16 2024Moore will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will pick up his fourth consecutive start in the infield since making his return from the paternity list Thursday. He'll likely serve as the Mariners' primary option at the keystone before moving into a utility role once Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is ready to come off the 10-day injured list.
Jun 15 2024Moore went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Rangers on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: One night after striking out four times in his return from paternity leave, Moore made contact in all four plate appearances and followed his one hit with his 10th steal of the season. The veteran's swipe locked in his fifth double-digit tally in that category across six big-league seasons, but the knock was only his fifth across 38 plate appearances in June.
Jun 14 2024Moore went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in his return from paternity leave during an extra-inning loss against the White Sox on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore had sat out the previous two games while on leave, and he went down on strikes three times against masterful White Sox starter Garrett Crochet before also logging one final punchout when facing reliever Michael Kopech. Since hitting safely in back-to-back games May 25-26, Moore has been mired in a nightmarish slump, going 4-for-42 with a single extra-base hit (a double) and a 38.8 percent strikeout across his last 13 contests.
Jun 13 2024The Mariners reinstated Moore (personal) from the paternity list Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has been away from the team since Monday to spend time with his family, and he will now return to the Mariners ahead of Thursday's series finale against the White Sox. The 31-year-old has slashed .160/.233/.200 with two RBI and five runs scored since the beginning of June.
Jun 10 2024Moore was placed on the paternity list ahead of Monday's matchup with the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore was originally set to start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's series opener with the White Sox, but he will now be away from the team for up to three games. In his absence, Ryan Bliss could see some extra work at second base while Leonardo Rivas was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma to replace Moore on the major-league roster.
Jun 5 2024Moore went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Athletics on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore didn't log one of his trademark extra-base hits, but he still found a way to make an impact by working himself into scoring position after his fourth-inning single with the help of his ninth steal. The 31-year-old remains in a multi-game funk, however, as he's just 3-for-25 over the last seven contests, a span during which he's reached via a trio of singles, one walk and three hit-by-pitches.
Jun 2 2024Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will take a seat in the series finale after he went 1-for-14 with eight strikeouts while starting each of the past four games at either second base or third base. While he remains in the mix for steady playing at the keystone with Jorge Polanco (hamstring) on the injured list, Moore looks to be slowing down at the plate after a hot run over the first three weeks of May. Dating back to May 23, Moore is slashing .103/.297/.138 over a stretch of nine games. If Moore's struggles continue, Ryan Bliss could end up unseating him as the preferred option at second base.
May 28 2024Moore isn't in the Mariners' lineup Tuesday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has been extremely hot at the plate lately, slashing an incredible .324/.489/.735 with three homers and seven RBI across his last 11 games. He'll get a breather against Hunter Brown and the Astros while Luke Raley, Julio Rodriguez and Dominic Canzone start across the outfield with Mitch Haniger in as the DH.
May 25 2024Moore went 0-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in a loss to the Nationals on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's been quite the productive week for Moore, who also homered twice Tuesday against the Yankees during what was a second consecutive multi-hit effort. The 31-year-old has now reached safely in nine consecutive games, a stretch during which he's accumulated seven extra-base hits (four doubles, three home runs), eight walks and six runs on his way to a .346 average and 1.360 OPS (35 plate appearances). The combination of his defensive versatility, pop and plate discipline has earned Moore an everyday role while logging time across the infield and left field.
May 21 2024Moore went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a solo home run and an RBI single during Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore clubbed his fifth and sixth long balls of the campaign, tagging Clarke Schmidt for a two-run shot in the third and Nick Burdi for a solo shot in the ninth. All but one of Moore's homers have come in May, a month where he's batting .293 with 12 extra-base hits, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored.
May 17 2024Moore went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run in a loss to the Orioles on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore's penchant for hard contact was on display again Friday, with his double and homer pushing his extra-base hit rate to a stellar 52.2 percent (12 XBH out of 23 total hits) across 117 plate appearances. The veteran utility man has reached safely in five of his last seven contests, and he's now generated a trio of multi-hit efforts in the last nine games overall.
May 13 2024Moore went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a steal in Sunday's win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore led things off with a base hit and stole second before eventually coming around to score on a Mitch Garver single to give the Mariners a quick lead. He later drove in a run on a sacrifice fly. It was just his third stolen base since April 24, though he's on pace for double-digit steals again after only managing seven in 67 games last season. Moore continues to see regular at-bats with J.P. Crawford (oblique) still working his way back and even works out of the leadoff spot against lefties like he did Sunday. For the year, the 31-year-old is slashing .222/.321/.411 with three homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs and an 11:28 BB:K in 106 plate appearances.
May 10 2024Moore went 3-for-4 with a home run and five RBI in Friday's 8-1 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning, then added a two-run single in the fifth and an RBI single in the seventh. He had recorded just one multi-hit effort and a total of four RBI over his previous 12 contests. The 31-year-old lifted his slash line to .226/.333/.429 with three homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and five stolen bases through 99 plate appearances. Moore continues to operate as the Mariners' top shortstop while J.P. Crawford (oblique) is on the mend.
May 9 2024Moore is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has taken over as the Mariners' primary option at shortstop since J.P. Crawford (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list April 25, but he'll cede his spot in the field to Leonardo Rivas in the series finale in Minnesota. During Crawford's absence, Moore has batted just .184, though five of his seven hits over his last 13 games have gone for extra bases.
May 8 2024Moore went 2-for-3 with an RBI double, a triple, a walk and two runs in a win over the Twins on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore's propensity for hard contact was on full display again Tuesday, with the veteran utility man belting his seventh and eighth extra-base hits of the season. Moore has already tied a career high with his pair of three-baggers, and with four doubles, he's just under halfway to his 2023 total of nine in that department. The 31-year-old came into Tuesday with a .143 average and 32.3 percent strikeout rate over the prior 10 games, making his first multi-hit effort since April 24 a particularly welcome sight.
May 4 2024Moore went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Astros on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The fifth-inning blast with Luke Raley aboard extended Moore's hitting streak to three games while also serving as Moore's first homer since Opening Day. The utility man also coaxed his average back over the Mendoza Line for the first time since April 25, but his .682 OPS still has plenty of room for improvement.
Apr 28 2024Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After starting each of the past four games at shortstop while producing three hits and adding two stolen bases and one run over 12 at-bats, Moore will give way to Leonardo Rivas in the series finale. Moore should still see the bulk of the starts at shortstop for the duration of J.P. Crawford's (oblique) stay on the injured list.
Apr 25 2024Moore will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll man shortstop for the second game in a row and is expected to serve as the main option at the position after J.P. Crawford (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, according to Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM. Moore has a pair of 20-steal seasons on his resume and already has five stolen bases in just 53 plate appearances so far in 2024, so his speed could make him an appealing short-term option in deeper mixed leagues now that he's on track to get consistent playing time.
Apr 24 2024Moore went 2-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Wednesday's loss to the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Seattle managed only one run in the contest, but that wasn't due to a lack of production on Moore's part. The utility man collected two of the team's eight hits and put himself in scoring position twice with a pair of steals. Moore is up to five thefts on the campaign, but he's still slashing a meager .214/.358/.357.
Apr 15 2024Moore went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore replaced Dominic Canzone in the second inning after the latter suffered an apparent shoulder injury that forced him out of the game. Moore led off with a base hit in the fifth and took second base for his third steal of the year but would be stranded there. There was a brief possibility that a path to additional playing time could open up for Moore with the injury to Canzone, but the Mariners are expected to promote outfielder Jonatan Clase from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday who will likely slide into that starting outfield role while Canzone is sidelined.
Apr 11 2024Moore went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run in an extra-inning win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The versatile Moore opened the game in left field before shifting to third base after Dominic Canzone pinch hit for Luis Urias. Moore's slow start at the plate persisted, but he played an integral role in the Mariners' first run of the game during the third inning by drawing a walk, stealing second and eventually racing home on J.P. Crawford's single. Moore did have a three-game hitting streak coming into Wednesday and has a .375 on-base percentage thanks in large part to a 16.7 percent walk rate, but he's sitting on a .211 average through 24 plate appearances.
Mar 29 2024Moore went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in a 6-4 loss to Boston on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore began the game on the bench but entered as a pinch hitter for Dominic Canzone in the seventh inning. The move paid off for Seattle, as Moore slammed a 409-foot, two-run shot to center to bring the Mariners to within a run. Moore slashed .378/.511/.595 with two long balls this spring, but he's had contact issues throughout his big-league career and isn't slated for an everyday role this year, so his fantasy outlook is limited.
Mar 20 2024Moore went 3-for-3 with an RBI single, a three-run home run, a stolen base and an additional run in a Cactus League win over the Rockies on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore operated out of the leadoff spot while starting at shortstop, and his dominant showing at the plate pushed his Cactus League batting average to .393 across 28 at-bats. Moore has compiled a double, Tuesday's homer, seven RBI, eight walks, three stolen bases and seven runs this spring, a particularly welcome sign after he slashed .199/.311/.370 over the last three seasons. However, he also produced a 30.4 percent strikeout rate over that span, and his 13 strikeouts this spring is a warning sign those issues aren't behind him.
Mar 7 2024Moore went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 8-7 over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has been looking sharp thus far in the spring Wednesday excluded, hitting .364 with an .864 OPS over 11 at-bats. The 31-year-old has been in the lead-off spot several times while also playing three different infield positions. This versatility, paired with his time playing in the corner outfield last season, is an indicator of his utility value for manager Scott Servais, which should help Moore retain a roster spot despite hitting just .207 last season over 145 at-bats.
Sep 8 2023Moore went 1-for-2 with one double, one RBI and one steal in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has been losing his grip on playing time since Josh Rojas arrived at the trade deadline, garnering just 16 starts since Aug. 1. The 31-year-old made the most of his first start since Sept. 2 by swiping his seventh bag. After attempting just four steals on the season before Aug. 28, this was his fifth attempted steal (fourth success) since that date.
Sep 3 2023Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore had picked up starts in the corner outfield in four of the past five games, going 1-for-10 with a pair of stolen bases and an RBI over that stretch. Cade Marlowe will get the starting nod in left field Sunday, but both he and Moore could be in store for fewer opportunities in the outfield in the near future with Jarred Kelenic (foot) closing in on a return from the 10-day injured list.
Aug 28 2023Moore went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 7-0 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore is hitting .300 (15-for-50) with three home runs and two steals over 20 games in August while occupying a part-time role. The utilityman is up to four thefts in five attempts this year. He's batting .240 with an .862 OPS, seven homers, 17 RBI, 14 runs scored, five doubles and a triple over 109 plate appearances while providing cover all around the field.
Aug 21 2023Moore went 4-for-5 with an RBI single in a win over the Astros on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: One day after belting a pair of homers, Moore struck with a small-ball-themed multi-hit effort that pushed his average up another 33 points. The month of August has been transformative for Moore's previously abysmal campaign, as he's now boasting a .378 average and 1.222 OPS across the 43 plate appearances covering his last 14 games.
Aug 19 2023Moore went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a solo home run in Saturday's 10-3 victory over the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore launched his sixth and seventh long balls of 2023 Saturday, marking his first career multi-homer game. However, he struck out in his other two at-bats, increasing his strikeout rate to 37 percent on the year. Overall, the outing broke Moore out of a cold snap, as he entered the game 2-for-17 (.117) across his last six appearances.
Aug 18 2023Moore is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Jose Caballero will start at shortstop and Josh Rojas will cover second base as the Mariners take on the Astros and right-hander J.P. France. Moore has played well when healthy this season, but he generally fares better versus lefties than righties.
Aug 12 2023Moore (undisclosed) went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 1-0 extra-inning loss to the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 11 2023Moore was a late scratch from the Mariners' lineup Friday against the Orioles, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 9 2023Moore went 1-for-2 with an RBI triple, a walk and a run in a win over the Padres on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 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.
Aug 4 2023Moore went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Friday's 9-7 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 2 2023Moore (wrist) is back in the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 29 2023Moore was unavailable off the bench Saturday against the Diamondbacks due to wrist injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 26 2023Moore went 3-for-4 with two homers and four RBI in Wednesday's 8-7 victory over Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 23 2023Moore 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 15 2023Moore went 1-for-3 with a two-run double and a walk in a loss to the Tigers on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 much-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.
Jun 26 2023Moore entered Sunday's loss to the Orioles as a pinch runner in the ninth inning and recorded a stolen base. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 21 2023Moore homered in his lone plate appearance in a loss to the Yankees on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 8 2023Moore, 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 walks while also scoring a run in his two plate appearances. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 6 2023The Mariners reinstated Moore (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 29 2023Moore (oblique) played a full nine innings at shortstop and third base for Triple-A Tacoma on Friday and Sunday, respectively, going 3-for-9 with a double, three RBI, two walks and two runs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 22 2023Moore (oblique) could be activated from the injured list during Seattle's current 10-game homestand, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 21 2023Moore (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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 raise his amount of time on the field. Moore may be moving his rehab assignment to a higher affiliate before long if he continues to be free of setbacks.
May 20 2023Moore (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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will be working 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.
May 19 2023Moore (oblique) has been assigned to High-A Everett to begin a rehab assignment. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment a month ago because of scar tissue that had built up following his core muscle surgery. He's ready to go again now, though, but figures to need a good number of rehab games before returning given how long he's been sidelined
May 9 2023Moore (oblique) is getting closer to returning to baseball activity and he could go out on a rehab assignment in 8-to-10 days, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore was taken off his rehab assignment late in April because of issues stemming from his surgically repaired core muscle and scar tissue that had built up from his offseason surgery. Moore will likely need a lengthy rehab assignment once he's able to proceed, but he could see significant playing time for Seattle near the end of May if he doesn't suffer another setback.
Apr 4 2023Moore (oblique) will begin playing in extended spring games next week, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After straining his left oblique during spring training, a plan is now in place for Moore to begin his rehab assignment. He will begin in Arizona before joining one of the Mariners' minor-league affiliates. Assuming all goes well, he projects to return to the Mariners during their next homestand later this month.
Mar 31 2023Moore was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to March 27, by the Mariners on Thursday with a left oblique strain. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has been going through workouts and is expected to be ready to rejoin the Mariners when first eligible. The utility player is also coming back from offseason core muscle surgery.
Mar 17 2023Moore was diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain and won't be ready for Opening Day, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore was set to make his Cactus League debut Thursday after recovering from offseason core-muscle surgery, but he was scratched from Seattle's lineup and the imaging revealed the strain. The versatile infielder/outfielder will begin 2023 on the injured list, and he likely won't be able to make his season debut until the middle of April. The injury could open up more playing time for Sam Haggerty, and Mason McCoy could very well be the backup middle-infielder while Ford is out.
Mar 16 2023Moore "felt something in his side" while swinging in the batting cages Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore was slated to make his Cactus League debut Thursday after recovering from offseason core-muscle surgery, but was scratched from the Mariners' lineup before the game. He will undergo MRI testing which will provide a better idea of his status for Opening Day.
Mar 14 2023Moore (abdomen) will make his Cactus League debut for the Mariners on Thursday versus the Giants, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has been brought along slowly this spring following offseason core-muscle surgery, but he's almost ready to test things out in game action. The Mariners believe he'll have enough time to knock the rust off before Opening Day.
Mar 13 2023Mariners manager Scott Servais said Monday that Moore (core) should return to the Cactus League lineup by the middle of the week, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has yet to play this spring while he's been ramping up gradually from offseason core-muscle surgery, but he's taking part in full baseball activities and appears to have reached the final phase of his recovery process. He'll likely meet with team doctors after his workout Monday, and if all goes well, Moore could be cleared to play as soon as Tuesday versus the Royals.
Mar 9 2023Moore (core) was recently cleared to start running drills, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has been brought along slowly this spring following offseason core muscle surgery. The next step after running drills will be live batting practice sessions and then some B games. If that goes well, he'll be cleared for Cactus League action, hopefully as soon as early next week. Moore still has time to get ready for Opening Day if he can avoid setbacks.
Feb 20 2023Moore (core) is expected to see most of his action at second base and shortstop in 2023 after making 36 of his starts in the outfield last season, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mariners intend to bring Moore along slowly this spring while he recovers from offseason core-muscle surgery, but the team brass still expects the 30-year-old to be ready to go for Opening Day. Assuming Moore experiences no setbacks in his recovery over the next month and is cleared for the start of the season, he'll step back into his familiar utility role, though the offseason additions of two right-handed-hitting outfielders in AJ Pollock and Teoscar Hernandez will make playing time in left, right or center more difficult to come by. The righty-hitting Moore should still have a path to playing regularly against left-handed pitching as a replacement in the middle infield for either Kolten Wong or J.P. Crawford, both of whom bat from the left side of the dish.
Feb 1 2023Moore (abdomen) signed a three-year, $8.875 million extension with the Mariners on Wednesday to avoid arbitration, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will now earn nearly $3 million per season through 2025 -- up from $1.35 million last year. Currently recovering from offseason surgery, the 30-year-old utility man should be ready to go by Opening Day and figures to get plenty of plate appearances against lefties next season.
Oct 13 2022Moore (undisclosed) is in the lineup for Game 2 of Seattle's ALDS matchup with Houston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has not started a game since the postseason began, but he will take the spot of Jarred Kelenic with the Mariners facing left-hander Framber Valdez on Thursday. Moore will man left field and hit sixth in Seattle's batting order.
Oct 5 2022Mariners manager Scott Servais said Moore is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers while he's still feeling sore after being hit by two pitches in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Servais indicated that Moore should be fine for the weekend, when the Mariners will travel to Toronto for their wild-card series with the Blue Jays. Moore started in both ends of Tuesday's twin bill, going 1-for-1 with a walk, three RBI and a run.
Sep 30 2022Moore went 1-for-4 with a stolen base, a run scored and three strikeouts in Friday's 2-1 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has found extra success at the plate lately, going 9-for-31 (.290) with six walks in his last 11 games. That's allowed him to be more productive on the basepaths with six steals in that span. He's matched his career high in pilfers with 21 this year while maintaining a .219/.361/.383 slash line through 100 contests.
Sep 29 2022Moore went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore hit a leadoff single in the 11th inning, then later stole third and scored the winning run on a J.P. Crawford single. In 10 games since he returned from an oblique injury, Moore has racked up five steals to get to 20 for the year. He's one away from his career high set in 2021, though it's taken him just 99 contests this year compared to 126 last season. The utility man has added a .219/.363/.385 slash line, six home runs, 21 RBI and 37 runs scored through 238 plate appearances.
Sep 28 2022Moore went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in the loss to the Rangers on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore pushed closer to his career high of 21 steals with his third theft in the last four games. The 30-year-old has reached safely in four straight games, and his current .364 on-base percentage is a career-high figure.
Sep 22 2022Moore went 1-for-3 with two runs scored, two stolen bases and a walk in a 9-5 win Thursday in Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After grounding out in his first two at-bats, Moore walked, stole a base and scored in the sixth and singled, swiped second and scored in the eighth. He is now 18-for-24 in stolen base attempts on the season and has nabbed three bags since returning from an oblique injury Sept. 18. Since the All-Star break, he has a .295/.426/.477 line in 54 plate appearances.
Sep 18 2022Moore went 2-for-2 with a pair of doubles, two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore made his first start since returning from an oblique injury -- he was activated from the injured list ahead of Saturday's contest but didn't play. He got aboard in each plate appearance, but only an Adam Frazier RBI single in the third inning cashed him in. Moore missed about three weeks with the oblique issue, but he could be an option to play regularly going forward after Eugenio Suarez (finger) hit the injured list Saturday. Moore will need to improve on his .216/.365/.407 slash line down the stretch to push for more playing time, though he's added 16 steals, six home runs, 19 RBI, 32 runs scored and 10 doubles through 209 plate appearances.
Sep 17 2022Moore (oblique) was activated off the injured list Saturday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore had been out since late August with a right oblique strain, but he's good to go after just a single rehab game. He isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels but could be called on frequently in the near future, as Eugenio Suarez (finger) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.
Sep 15 2022Moore (oblique) reported feeling good Wednesday after taking batting practice Tuesday, and manager Scott Servais remains optimistic he'll be activated at some point during the team's upcoming road trip, the Associated Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore's recovery from an oblique strain appears to be gaining steam as it enters its third week. Assuming it remains on the same trajectory and he is indeed activated at some point during the Mariners' 10-game road trip, it appears Moore will have ample opportunity to get some at-bats in before the postseason.
Sep 14 2022Moore (oblique) will travel with the Mariners on their upcoming 10-game road trip and was able to take batting practice before Tuesday's game against the Padres, the Associated Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The encouraging news notwithstanding, manager Scott Servais added that Moore remains without a firm timetable for return. Having the valued utility asset healthy for a postseason run is likely the highest priority at the moment, but ideally, the Mariners would like to get Moore some at-bats before the regular season concludes.
Sep 10 2022Moore (oblique) is "feeling better" according to manager Scott Servais, but he remains limited in his rehabilitation activities, the Associated Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Servais added that Moore is still not doing much in the way of rotational work and has yet to resume swinging a bat. The versatile veteran has been on the injured list since Aug. 30, and despite the current lack of significant progress, he presumably still has a good chance of getting some regular-season at-bats in before the start of the postseason.
Sep 6 2022Moore (oblique) was expected to do some rotational exercises in a pool Monday as part of his rehab process, the Associated Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore likely remains at least a couple of weeks away from a return to action, but the planned increase in activity is a small step in the right direction. The 30-year-old's oblique strain was diagnosed as being of the low-to-moderate variety, so for the time being, the Mariners still expect him to be available before the end of the regular season.
Aug 30 2022Moore, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, said his right oblique injury is considered between a Grade 1 and Grade 2 strain, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A Grade 3 strain is the most severe and likely would have spelled an end to Moore's season, but the low-to-moderate-grade strain should give him a chance to return at some point in the second half of September. The Mariners likely won't be able to hone in on a target date for Moore's return from the IL until he's able to resume baseball activities. Abraham Toro was called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday in a corresponding move and will replace Moore as a depth infielder for Seattle.
Aug 28 2022Moore went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore broke open the scoring in the fifth inning with a shot down the line in left field. This was just Moore's second start in six games -- J.P. Crawford (pectoral) was not available to play. The homer was Moore's first since July 7, and his last RBI was one day after that. The utility man is slashing only .206/.353/.388 with six long balls, 19 RBI, 31 runs scored and 15 stolen bases through 205 plate appearances.
Aug 24 2022Moore went 0-for-2 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He got hit by a pitch in the third inning and promptly stole second base, but it was just one of the scoring chances squandered by a Seattle lineup that piled up 17 LOB in total on the afternoon. Moore has started only two of the last eight games, and while he is up to 15 steals on the season, the 30-year-old hasn't offered much production otherwise, batting .206 through 85 games with five homers, 16 RBI and 29 runs.
Aug 22 2022Moore went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Athletics on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore's multi-hit tally was his first since July 24, with a 10-day stint on the injured list due to a back issue part of the reason for that extended gap. The veteran utility man has now gotten his average back over the Mendoza Line to .210, the highest it's been since June 14, thanks to having hit safely in three straight games. Meanwhile, his 14 stolen bases are the second-highest total of his career, and he remains within striking distance of eclipsing the 21 he swiped in 2021.
Aug 11 2022Moore, activated from the injured list earlier in the day, went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in a win over the Yankees on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old got aboard via a fielder's choice in the seventh and then stole his 12th base of the season before Sam Haggerty stranded him at the keystone with an inning-ending flyout. Moore is in danger of finishing with an average below the Mendoza Line for the second consecutive season, but his .344 on-base percentage continues to afford him some fantasy value and is largely the result of his career-high 13.9 percent walk rate.
Aug 10 2022The Mariners reinstated Moore (back) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. He'll start at shortstop and bat seventh in the Mariners' series finale with the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore ended up spending the minimum amount of time on the shelf while he battled back spasms, but his absence was likely long enough to close the door on his brief run as an everyday player. Before landing on the IL on July 31, Moore had drawn starts in the outfield in six of the Mariners' last nine games, but the return of Mitch Haniger from the IL as well as the possible return of Julio Rodriguez (wrist) on Friday means that most of Moore's opportunities could come in the infield over the final two months. He'll get a turn at shortstop Wednesday while usual shortstop J.P. Crawford gets a rare maintenance day.
Aug 3 2022Moore feels the back spasms that prompted his placement on the injured list Sunday have subsided some, and he remains in Seattle recovering while the team is on its road trip, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore exited Saturday's game against the Astros with the spasms and hit the IL a day later. Given the nature of the injury, Moore could be on track to miss only the minimum amount of time required if his back continues to steadily improve over the next several days.
Jul 31 2022The Mariners placed Moore on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to back spasms, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore was one of three Mariners position players who was removed due to injury in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Astros, with Julio Rodriguez (wrist) and Sam Haggerty (forearm) also departing. Though Haggerty is considered day-to-day, Rodriguez and Moore were both forced to the injured list, thinning Seattle's depth in the outfield. Jarred Kelenic and Jack Larsen were called up from Triple-A Tacoma and Double-A Arkansas, respectively, in corresponding transactions.
Jul 30 2022Moore exited Saturday's game against the Astros with back spasms, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore earned a start for only the second time in Seattle's last five games Saturday, hitting sixth while playing left field. However, he was forced to leave in the third inning, with Jesse Winker taking over in his place. There should be further detail about the severity of Moore's injury in the coming days.
Jul 27 2022Moore is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore saw his streak of four consecutive starts in center field come to an end Tuesday, when Julio Rodriguez (wrist) was given the green light to play for the first time since the All-Star break. The star rookie homered in his return to the lineup and will be back in the starting nine again Wednesday, so Moore looks like he'll have to settle for a utility role moving forward.
Jul 25 2022Moore went 2-for-3 with a run in a loss to the Astros on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore's second two-hit effort in the last three games pulled his average back up over the Mendoza Line for the first time since June 18. Despite a difficult season at the plate overall, the veteran utility man has shown plenty of life over his last 14 games, producing a .316/.381/.526 slash line in that span even while also generating a massive 40.5 percent strikeout rate.
Jul 17 2022Moore is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale versus the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will remain on the bench for the second straight game Sunday. Sam Haggerty will replace him in right field and bat ninth in the final game before the All-Star break. The two players could end up working in a platoon in right field moving forward, with the switch-hitting Haggerty filling the strong side and the righty-hitting Moore occupying the smaller side.
Jul 16 2022Moore isn't starting Saturday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore started the last two games and went 0-for-6 with a walk and four strikeouts. Adam Frazier is shifting to right field while Abraham Toro starts at second base.
Jul 13 2022Moore is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore went 2-for-4 with a double while starting in center field for the early contest of the twin bill, but he'll be on the bench for the nightcap with All-Star Julio Rodriguez ready to reclaim his spot in the outfield after completing his one-game suspension. Though Rodriguez and Jesse Winker have now served their respective suspensions and will share the outfield together for the first time since July 3, Moore should hold the edge over Sam Haggerty and Justin Upton for the top job in right field, at least until Seattle gets one of Kyle Lewis (concussion) or Mitch Haniger (ankle) back from the injured list. Moore is hitting .307 with five extra-base hits and a stolen base through 10 games on the month.
Jul 10 2022Moore stole a base as a pinch runner in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore ran for Justin Upton in the seventh inning and stole second, though he was left on base. The steal was Moore's first since June 25, and his first attempt since he was caught stealing twice July 5. The utility man is 11-for-16 on the basepaths this year, and he's added a mediocre .187/.344/.374 slash line, five home runs, 16 RBI and 23 runs scored through 155 plate appearances.
Jul 8 2022Moore went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Blue Jays on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore made some noise out of the bottom of the order with a 350-foot shot to left in the second inning to extend the Mariners' lead to 3-1 at the time. The slugging utilityman has now laced 10 of his 22 hits on the season for extra bases, and he's shown plenty of life at the plate of late with a .316/.480/.737 slash line over his last seven games.
Jul 5 2022Moore went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and a run during Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Padres. He was also caught stealing twice. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was a tough day on the basepaths for Moore, but it was otherwise a productive day as he delivered his first multi-hit effort since June 5. The 29-year-old has started the past six games, and he's gone 5-for-16 with a home run, two doubles, five walks, four RBI and four runs during that stretch.
Jul 3 2022Moore went 1-for-2 with a run in a win over the Athletics on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The valued utility man drew another start at shortstop for the suspended J.P. Crawford and reached safely for the fourth time in as many games filling in for his teammate. Despite the modest run of productivity, Moore's slash line is still a lopsided .170/.341/.330, and he's projected to lose his temporary everyday status beginning with Crawford's return in a road matchup against the Padres.
Jul 1 2022Moore went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in an 8-6 victory against the Athletics on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore slugged a two-run shot in the fourth inning to give Seattle a temporary 4-1 lead. The utility man entered the contest in a slump, going 1-for-23 over his previous 10 contests. Moore has proven to be a good base stealer with 10 thefts in 13 tries on the campaign, giving him four straight seasons with double-digit steals, but his .168/.325/.337 slash line makes him a risky player to roster in fantasy.
Jun 25 2022Moore went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore scored after his sixth-inning single and stolen base, and he added a sacrifice fly in the seventh. Prior to Saturday, he was mired in an 0-for-13 slump across his last six games. The utility man is still hitting a meager .176/.339/.330 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 19 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 116 plate appearances. Moore is in line for more playing time at first base with Ty France (forearm) landing on the injured list Saturday, though the former is likely to still play all around the diamond without a guaranteed place in the lineup.
Jun 21 2022Moore is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Oakland, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore started the past three games but will head to the bench Tuesday while mired in a 1-for-16 slump. The 29-year-old should continue to see regular playing time in a utility role, but his .185/.340/.358 slash line doesn't provided much value for fantasy managers.
Jun 18 2022Moore went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a hit by pitch, a stolen base and two total runs scored in a 4-2 loss to the Angels in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore briefly got his season batting average to .200 with the productive afternoon game, but an 0-for-3 effort in the nightcap dropped him back down to .192 on the year. He's started to see more consistent playing time against right-handed pitchers, though the addition of outfielder Justin Upton could challenge Moore's role against lefties. Through 98 plate appearances overall, Moore has three home runs, nine stolen bases, nine RBI, 16 runs scored and a .722 OPS.
Jun 14 2022Moore went 1-for-2 with a pair of stolen bases, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore was a late addition to the lineup at shortstop when J.P. Crawford (undisclosed) was scratched. It worked out fine, as Moore was able to get aboard twice and put himself in scoring position each time with his sixth and seventh steals of the year. The versatile 29-year-old continues to be limited to a reserve role in 2022, and his .215/.378/.385 slash line doesn't suggest he's earned a lot more time despite an excellent 15.7 percent walk rate.
Jun 13 2022Moore entered Sunday's loss to the Red Sox as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning, drawing a walk and stealing a base. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Following a walk-off single Saturday, Moore was originally out of the lineup Sunday before hitting for Taylor Trammell and lighting a momentary spark for the moribund Mariners offense. Moore's free pass boosted his walk rate to an elite 14.3 percent, while his steal was his fifth of the season.
Jun 12 2022Moore entered Saturday's win over the Red Sox as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and remained in the game in right field, going 1-for-2 with a game-winning RBI single. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore's pinch-hit at-bat resulted in an inning-ending groundout, stranding Abraham Toro on second base. However, the utility man made up for it with his game-winning knock in the ninth, which plated Sam Haggerty to send the Mariners home with a wild victory. Moore has been showing some signs of life at the plate, going 5-for-10 over his last five games to boost his slash line up to .213/.360/.393.
Jun 5 2022Moore went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a walk in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was the second time in his last four games that Moore's gotten on base multiple times. It's otherwise been a difficult year for the utility man, who hasn't seen a clear path to steady playing time in 2022. He's posted a .200/.353/.400 slash line with two home runs, seven RBI, nine runs scored, four stolen bases, two triples and a double through 69 plate appearances.
Jun 1 2022Moore went 1-for-3 with a triple, two hit-by-pitches and three runs in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore was a thorn in the side of the Orioles out of the latter portion of the order throughout the night, and his three-bagger served as his first extra-base hit since May 19. The 29-year-old also crossed the plate on multiple occasions for only the second time all season, and despite a .160/.311/.360 slash line, he continues to display his career-long penchant for impactful hits -- four of his eight knocks on the season have gone for extra bases.
May 19 2022Moore went 1-for-2 with two walks and four RBI on Thursday against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore slugged a three-run home run in the second inning to account for the majority of his production. It was his first long ball since April 30, and he entered Thursday's game having collected just two hits across 20 at-bats since. Moore remains without an everyday role in the Seattle lineup, and he isn't making the case for more playing time with his recent performance.
May 14 2022Moore isn't starting Saturday against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although Jarred Kelenic was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, Moore will be out of the lineup once again while Steven Souza starts in right field. Moore has gone 2-for-16 with a run, an RBI, two stolen bases, two walks and five strikeouts over his last six games.
May 13 2022Moore isn't starting Friday against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old should see additional playing time in right field after Jarred Kelenic was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, but Moore will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Steven Souza will start in right field and bat eighth after his contract was selected Friday.
May 10 2022Moore, who went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in a loss to the Phillies on Monday, now sports a .192 average and .385 slugging percentage across his first 32 plate appearances. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As poor as those numbers are, they're actually superior to the respective .181 and .334 figures Moore generated over a much larger 377-plate-appearance sample in 2021. The versatile 29-year-old does have an acceptable 18.8 percent strikeout rate and has been partly victimized by a .211 BABIP, but a career-high 60.0 percent flyball rate seems to be hampering his overall production. One metric that offers some reason for optimism is Moore's .323 on-base percentage, which is largely the byproduct of his 12.5 percent walk rate.
Apr 13 2022Moore will start in left field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore received just one plate appearance over the Mariners' first five games, but he'll get the opportunity to pick up his first start Wednesday with Jesse Winker getting the night off. The Mariners are likely just holding the lefty-hitting Winker out of the lineup because southpaw Dallas Keuchel is on the bump for Chicago, so the righty-hitting Moore isn't expected to be in line for anything more than short-side platoon work while Seattle has all of its key regulars available.
Mar 28 2022Moore, who went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a Cactus League win over the Rangers on Monday, is now hitting .333 (5-for-15) with two home runs, three RBI, a walk, a stolen base and three runs over seven exhibitions. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore put together a forgettable .181/.276/.334 slash line across 126 games last season, but he's offered encouraging returns over a small sample this spring. Moore's ability to slot into any position except catcher and solid pop (67 career extra-base hits in 277 games) appear likely to garner him a roster spot for the fourth straight season.
Mar 22 2022Moore agreed to a one-year, $1.35 million contract with the Mariners on Tuesday to avoid arbitration, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore struggled with a .610 OPS in 126 games last season and will receive a modest bump in pay for his first year of arbitration eligibility. However, he did have 21 stolen bases and 12 homers in 377 plate appearances, though he may not see enough playing time in a utility role to warrant much fantasy consideration.
Sep 24 2021Moore is hitting .300 with a triple, three RBI, two walks, a stolen base and four runs across the 22 plate appearances he's logged over his last six games heading into Friday night's action. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The versatile Moore has endured a disappointing season at the plate encapsulated in an abysmal .182/.277/.340 slash line across 361 plate appearances, although he's continued a career-long trend of lacing an above-average number of his hits for extra bases (24 XBH out of 58 hits in 2021). A .230 BABIP has helped lead to Moore's undoing at the plate this season, but he's had some better fortune of late when putting the ball in play while also drawing starts in each of the contests constituting the aforementioned six-game sample.
Sep 20 2021Moore went 2-for-3 with a walk, a steal, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore notched his first multi-hit game since July 17 while also stealing his 21st base of the year. The 28-year-old has struggled to a .182/.278/.340 slash line with 12 homers, 41 RBI, 36 runs scored and 37:102 BB:K over 345 plate appearances. His versatility on defense will still allow him to see opportunities in the lineup but he really shouldn't be counted on much to produce at the plate.
Sep 12 2021Moore went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore went deep in the sixth inning off Tyler Gilbert to cut Seattle's deficit to two runs. It was just his second home run in 36 games since July 26. He is batting only .129 in that stretch. The 28-year-old is slashing just .176/.273/.338 with 12 home runs, 40 RBI and 35 runs scored in 337 plate appearances. On a positive note, he leads Seattle with 20 stolen bases on 24 attempts.
Aug 31 2021Moore went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Monday's 4-3 defeat by the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore pinch hit for Jose Marmolejos in the sixth and took Brooks Raley deep to left to give Seattle the lead momentarily. Moore was lifted for another pinch hitter in the eighth and has only received 40 at-bats in August, going 5-for-40 with Monday's long ball being the lone extra-base hit.
Aug 18 2021Moore remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: On the bench for the third time in four games, Moore looks like a part-time player for the Mariners at this stage of the season. Despite his role being somewhat volatile in 2021, Moore has produced fantasy-friendly counting stats (10 home runs and 18 steals in 301 plate appearances), but a .181 average and .276 on-base average have limited his appeal from a real-life standpoint.
Aug 2 2021Moore isn't starting Monday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore went 1-for-7 with two RBI, a run, a stolen base and three walks while starting in each of the last three games. Jake Fraley will take his place in left field and bat sixth.
Jul 28 2021Moore isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has gone 1-for-11 with a grand slam, a walk and five strikeouts across his last four appearances, and he'll retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Abraham Toro will start at second base while Shed Long enters the lineup in left field.
Jul 27 2021Moore went 1-for-2 with a grand slam in Monday's 11-8 win over the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he didn't start Monday, Moore was instrumental in leading the Mariners back from a 7-0 deficit. He entered the game in the bottom of the sixth and struck out as a pinch hitter, but he redeemed himself two innings later, when he took Brooks Raley deep with two outs and the bases juiced to complete the thrilling comeback. Even after providing the big hit Monday, Moore is still slashing a lowly .161/.224/.323 in July. He could be at risk of moving into more of a part-time role if the 55-46 Mariners acquire some hitting help ahead of Friday's trade deadline.
Jul 26 2021Moore is out of the lineup Monday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore is 1-for-12 over his past five games and will head to the bench Monday. Shed Long will cover the keystone in his place for Seattle.
Jul 24 2021Moore went 1-for-1 with a single, a steal and a run scored in Friday's 4-3 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore pinch hit for Jake Bauers in the seventh inning and reached with an infield base knock. He wound up stealing second before advancing to third and then scoring after a pair of wild pitches by Jake Diekman. The 28-year-old has seven hits over his last seven games but hasn't had much success at the plate overall, as he's slashing .190/.276/.363 with nine homers, 30 RBI, 28 runs scored, 15 steals and a 23:80 BB:K over 254 plate appearances.
Jul 23 2021Moore isn't starting Friday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will get a breather after he went 0-for-5 with a strikeout across the last two games. Ty France will shift to the keystone while Luis Torrens starts at first base.
Jul 20 2021Moore went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore took German Marquez yard in the sixth inning to give the Mariners a lead they wouldn't relinquish. It was his ninth long ball of the season and third in his last 15 starts. Even so, he's striking out at a 32.1 percent clip in that span, which has held his batting average to just .207. For the season, Moore has a .191/.275/.368 line with 30 RBI, 27 runs scored and 14 stolen bases across 247 plate appearances.
Jul 18 2021Moore, who went 2-for-4 with two runs in a loss to the Angels on Saturday, has opened the second half of the season with consecutive multi-hit efforts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The very brief but productive stretch may ultimately prove to just be an outlier, but for Moore's fantasy managers, it's a proverbial oasis in the desert. The 28-year-old utility man has provided 18 extra-base hits (10 doubles, eight home runs), but his .189/.276/.358 slash line underscores how success at the plate has largely eluded him.
Jul 17 2021Moore went 2-for-4 with a double in a win over the Angels on Friday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore made some noise out of the bottom third of the order, posting his first multi-hit effort since June 30. The utility asset has been in an extended funk for most of the season, however, and his July slash line still sits at .111/.179/.222 over 11 games even when factoring in Friday's production.
Jul 8 2021Moore went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base during Thursday's win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore ended a six-game hitless drought by taking Jordan Montgomery deep in the second inning. The 28-year-old now has eight long balls and 14 stolen bases this year while hitting just .180/.273/.361.
Jul 2 2021Moore is not starting Friday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He sits following an 0-for-5, three-strikeout performance Thursday. Shed Long gets the start at second base in the place of Moore, who's gone 6-for-25 in his last seven games.
Jul 1 2021Moore went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The steal was his 13th of the season while the homer was his seventh, and the long ball came in clutch fashion as he took Patrick Murphy deep in the top of the 10th inning. Moore has looked much better at the plate since returning from the IL in mid-June, slashing .264/.339/.453 over his last 15 games with two home runs, five stolen bases, seven RBI and eight runs.
Jun 26 2021Moore isn't starting Saturday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore stole two bases and scored two runs in Friday's win over the White Sox, and he'll get a breather Saturday. Shed Long will start at second base while Jake Bauers takes over in left field.
Jun 25 2021Moore went 2-for-4 with a hit by pitch, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Friday's 9-3 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has now racked up four steals in 11 games since he returned from the injured list. The speedy utility man is 12-for-14 in stolen base attempts this year. He's added a .189/.290/.371 slash line with six home runs, 22 RBI and 18 runs scored across 183 plate appearances.
Jun 16 2021Moore is not starting Wednesday against the Twins, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore started the past four games since being activated from the injured list over the weekend and will take a seat after going 4-for-17 with a homer, a triple, a double, three RBI and seven strikeouts. Shed Long will work at the keystone Wednesday.
Jun 15 2021Moore went 1-for-4 with a game-tying RBI triple in a win over the Twins on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The versatile utility asset struck out twice, but his one hit of the night made a significant impact. Moore knotted the game at 3-3 with his eighth-inning triple, which extended his modest hitting streak since returning from a stint on the injured list to three games. Moore is carrying an abysmal .182/.278/.394 slash line for the season, however, with a 31.8 percent strikeout rate and .228 BABIP the primary sources of his trouble.
Jun 12 2021Moore went 2-for-4 with a home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Saturday's loss to Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The second baseman returned from a stint on the injured list and went deep for the sixth time this season. Even though Moore has hit safely in five of his last seven contests, he continues to hit poorly and remains below the Mendoza line. This multi-hit performance only boosted to average to a meager .179 mark.
Jun 11 2021Moore (calf) is 4-for-8 with three doubles, a solo home run, a walk and three runs over his last two rehab games with Triple-A Tacoma. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore also laced a single and stole a base in his first game with the Rainiers on Monday, and despite the small sample, his overall body of work would seem to suggest he's ready for activation. However, the Mariners may opt to let the valued utility man get at least another game or two in against minor-league arms before freeing him from the injured list.
Jun 8 2021Moore (calf) went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Salt Lake on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore led off and played seven innings at second base in his first game action since May 18. The fact that the valued utility man both saw a substantial workload in the field and got the green light on the basepaths certainly seems encouraging with respect to the condition of his previously ailing calf. Moore is due for at least a handful more rehab games with the Rainiers before the Mariners consider activating him.
Jun 7 2021Moore (calf) began his rehab at Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has been on the injured list since May 19 due to a left calf strain, but he's since been cleared to embark on a rehab assignment. The second baseman is leading off for the Rainiers on Monday and will likely need at least a few games in the minors before being activated.
Jun 2 2021Moore (calf) is almost ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The versatile infielder has been sidelined with the left calf strain since May 19, but appears to be on the cusp of returning. Despite his poor offensive production before the injury, highlighted by a .168 average in 119 at-bats, Moore figures to get regular starts for the Mariners once healthy.
May 27 2021Moore (calf) is still a few days away from resuming baseball activities, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has been on the injured list since May 19 due to a left calf strain, and it appears as though he'll miss more than the minimum 10 days. A timetable for his return to game action isn't yet known, but a better idea of his status could come into focus once he resumes activities.
May 19 2021Moore was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left calf strain, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The versatile Moore had been hitting well of late, raising his average to a still-unimpressive .168. It's unclear whether Moore will miss longer than the minimum 10 days. Jack Mayfield has been called up to fill the open roster spot.
May 17 2021Moore is not in the lineup Monday against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has picked things up lately after a very slow start, hitting .290 with three homers and a pair of steals in his last nine games. He'll hit the bench Monday, with Donovan Walton taking over at second base.
May 16 2021Moore went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over the Indians on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore's 409-foot fourth-inning shot to center with Kyle Seager and Kyle Lewis aboard extended the Mariners' lead to 4-0 at the time and gave starter Justus Sheffield some key breathing room to work with in his final pair of frames. Moore now owns a four-game hitting streak -- one during which he's slugged two homers and compiled six RBI -- and he's raised his season average 48 points to .177 over the last eight games.
May 15 2021Moore went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Indians on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore's season slash still sits at an unsightly .174/.278/.349, but there are finally some signs of life from the valued utility asset. Factoring in Friday's production, Moore owns a .333 average and 1.093 OPS in the 26 plate appearances covering his last seven games, a stretch during which he's laced three doubles and two home runs while hitting safely in six of those contests.
May 13 2021Moore went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cleveland starter Zach Plesac took a no-hitter into the eighth before being tagged by Moore for a two-run shot that cut Seattle's deficit in half. Moore has struggled following a breakout 2020 but he's come around a bit in May raising his average from .132 to .162 and his positional versatility keeps him in the lineup most games.
May 11 2021Moore is 4-for-11 with a double, a home run, two RBI, two walks and three runs over his last three games. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The sample is small and Moore's season slash still sits at .156/.274/.302, but it's a much-needed sign of life from a player who came into 2021 with elevated expectations. Moore is still showing quite the knack for making solid contact -- eight of his 15 hits have gone for extra bases -- but a .207 BABIP coupled with a solid 21.7 percent line-drive rate implies he's been a bit unlucky, though his 31.9 percent strikeout rate is also a major culprit in his struggles thus far.
May 3 2021Moore went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore stepped up to bat in the fourth with men on first and second and singled home Kyle Seager to put the Mariners up 1-0. The 28-year-old was able to steal second before Dylan Bundy got out of the inning. He is now tied for third in baseball with six steals but is still hitting just .145/.267/.276. He does have four hits and five RBI over his last three games, however, so he's picked it up a bit as of late.
May 2 2021Moore went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in a loss to the Angels on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore is still slashing an abysmal .139/.267/.278 despite a productive first two games against the Angels during which he's gone 3-for-8 with four total RBI, a stolen base and two runs. Perhaps the success at the plate will serve as a launchpad for Moore, who's continued to see regular playing time through his season-long slump thanks to his considerable positional versatility.
May 1 2021Moore went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, a stolen base, two total runs and two total RBI in Friday's 7-4 victory versus the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore got the Mariners on the board with a 393-foot solo shot in the second inning and followed that up with a run-scoring single in the third. He also scored a run in the sixth frame after leading off the inning with a walk, advancing to second on a wild pitch, stealing third and coming home on a throwing error. The 28-year-old now has five steals on the campaign despite slashing a meager .132/.268/.279. His value as a theft artist would be even greater if he could find a way to get on base more often.
Apr 28 2021Moore is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He will sit for the third time in the last five games. Sam Haggerty will draw another start at the keystone, batting sixth.
Apr 27 2021Moore is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore is in the midst of a 3-for-44 skid over his last 16 games. He has a home run, two steals, an 11.8 percent walk rate and a 31.4 percent strikeout rate over that span. Ty France will start at second base and hit second.
Apr 24 2021Moore isn't starting Saturday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has been in a slump recently, as he's gone 0-for-17 with a run, six walks, eight strikeouts and two stolen bases in his last seven games. Ty France will start at second base Saturday, batting second.
Apr 15 2021Moore went 1-for-3 with a home run in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has been struggling badly this season, but this might be the game he needed to start recovering his confidence a bit. The 28-year-old infielder went deep for the first time in 2021, and while he's still hitting an anemic .154 with a .535 OPS, he might be on the rise now that he finally managed to go deep. For what is worth, Moore also ended a five-game hitless streak with his long ball.
Apr 14 2021Moore went 0-for-5 with one strikeout during Tuesday's doubleheader against the Orioles, lowering his season line to .121/.211/.212 over 38 plate appearances. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore's early struggles are particularly disappointing when considering he started the season with a chance to potentially take a long-term hold of the everyday job at the keystone with Shed Long still in the final stages of recovery from last year's shin injury. However, a combination of an elevated 34.2 percent strikeout rate and atypically low .190 BABIP have conspired to keep his numbers at their current levels, as has an anemic 19.0 percent hard-hit rate.
Apr 11 2021Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore will move to the bench after going 1-for-11 while starting each of the past three contests. Ty France will fill in at the keystone while Moore rests.
Apr 6 2021Moore is not in Tuesday's lineup against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He is hitting .154 with seven strikeouts through four games, but his two stolen bases over that stretch far outweigh the bad in rotisserie leagues. Ty France moves to the keystone while Jose Marmolejos starts at designated hitter.
Apr 2 2021Moore went 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly, a two-run double, a walk and a run in Thursday's season-opening win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore's two-bagger brought the Mariners within a run in a wild eighth inning and gave him Seattle's only multi-RBI effort of the night. The 28-year-old, who's shown a penchant for extra-base hits over the last two seasons, should have ample opportunity to further clamp down on the second base job early in the season while Shed Long continues his recovery from offseason shin surgery.
Mar 11 2021Moore is hitting .286 (4-for-14) with a double, a home run, two RBI, two walks, a stolen base and two runs across his first six Cactus League games. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore slugged the round tripper Tuesday against the Royals, extending his hitting streak to three games. The 28-year-old's solid early efforts may be an indication his offseason strength work is already paying off, and considering Moore has laced 42 (23 doubles, two triples, 17 home runs) of his 86 career hits for extra bases, the added bulk could take his 2021 numbers to career-best levels.
Feb 24 2021Moore showed up to the Mariners' first full-squad workout of spring training sporting noticeably more muscle than last season, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The versatile 28-year-old apparently came equipped for battle figuratively and literally, considering he's expected to be part of one of the more intense competitions of the spring. Manager Scott Servais commented earlier this winter that Moore would get a legitimate chance to win the top job at second base from Shed Long (shin), who took a step back last season while the former surged. Moore produced a .255/.358/.496 line with nine doubles, eight home runs and 17 RBI across 38 games, adding 12 stolen bases (17 attempts) for good measure. A whopping 42 of his 86 career hits over his first two seasons have gone for extra bases as well, giving his bat a level of pop that Long may have a hard time keeping up with, especially if the added offseason muscle makes Moore even more potent at the plate.
Dec 17 2020Mariners manager Scott Servais said Wednesday that Moore (concussion) and Shed Long (shin) will battle for the starting second base job during spring training, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Even if Long wins out as the team's primary option at the keystone, Moore should still have a path to a near-everyday role thanks to his ability to play all over the infield and outfield. Before a concussion sidelined him for the final week of the regular season, Moore was in the midst of a breakout campaign, slashing .255/.358/.496 with eight home runs and 12 stolen bases over 159 plate appearances.
Sep 22 2020Moore was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore was hit in the head by a pitch in the eighth inning Monday, and he'll head to the injured list as a result. He'll be sidelined for the remainder of the regular season. Ty France should see increased time at second base with Moore unavailable. Jake Fraley was recalled in a corresponding move.
Sep 20 2020Moore went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-4 extra-innings loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore's eighth-inning blast off Padres reliever Emilio Pagan forced extra innings. However, Moore also committed an error that allowed the Padres to score a third run in the 11th that proved too much to overcome. The 28-year-old has eight homers, 12 stolen bases, 17 RBI and 25 runs scored in 37 games this season.
Sep 19 2020Moore went 0-for-2 with a stolen base, a run scored and two walks in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore drew a walk and stolen second in the first inning before coming around to score on a Ty France single. The speedy Moore has struggled at the dish in his last seven games, going 3-for-21 (.143) in that span, but he's also drawn six walks and scored a pair of runs. The versatile defender has racked up 12 stolen bases in 36 games this year, surpassing his total of 11 steals in 113 contests in 2019. Moore has added seven homers, 24 runs scored and 15 RBI.
Sep 18 2020Moore (head) started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a walk in a loss to the Giants on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore and the Mariners got quite the scare Wednesday when the utility player was hit in the helmet by a 99 mph fastball, but his immediate return to the lineup Thursday confirms he avoided a concussion or other serious head injury. Moore has a pedestrian .239 average in 54 plate appearances across 13 September games, but he's now hit safely in six of his last eight contests, albeit with just two extra-base hits (one double, one home run) over that span.
Sep 17 2020Moore (head) is starting in left field and batting second Thursday against the Giants, Lauren Smith of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old was struck in the helmet by a 99-mph fastball Wednesday, but he appears to have avoided any sort of injury from the incident. Moore has a .238/.347/.452 slash line with two homers and five stolen bases through 12 games in September.
Sep 11 2020Moore went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base during Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore got the Mariners on the board by launching a solo home run against Caleb Smith in the third inning. The long ball was the seventh of the season for the 28-year-old, who is averaging .282/.362/.563 across 29 games.
Sep 7 2020Moore went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Monday's 8-4 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After socking his sixth homer of the year in the third inning, a solo shot off Kolby Allard, Moore smashed a bases-loaded double in the fourth to blow the game wide open. The 28-year-old hasn't missed a beat since returning from the IL, going 5-for-14 over his last four games with two doubles, a homer, two steals, four runs and four RBI.
Sep 4 2020Moore (wrist) was activated off the 10-day injured list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old was off to the start of a surprising breakout season before spraining his wrist in late August, hitting .282/.364/.538 through 88 plate appearances. That's of course a very small sample, though Statcast backs up those numbers, giving him a .298 xBA and a .552 xSLG. Tim Lopes was optioned in a corresponding move.
Sep 3 2020Moore (wrist) worked out with the Mariners on Thursday and could be activated as soon as Friday or Saturday according to manager Scott Servais, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore was placed on the injured list with a right wrist sprain Aug. 22, but it's looking like he will have a solid chance of returning at some point this weekend. He was playing well before suffering the injury, slashing .282/.364/.538, and figures to slot back into a regular role once he is activated.
Aug 31 2020Moore (wrist) could return during the Mariners' upcoming homestand, which runs from Tuesday through the following Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has already served the required 10 days on the injured list with a sprained right wrist, and it doesn't sound as though he's expected to miss too much more time. He's gotten off to a surprising start this season, hitting .282/.364/.538 through 88 plate appearances, and should reclaim a regular role in the lineup once healthy.
Aug 22 2020Moore was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist sprain, retroactive to Aug. 21. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore is off to a solid start in 2020 -- he has a .902 OPS with five home runs, 10 RBI and six stolen bases -- but his wrist injury is apparently more serious than anticipated. The team is hopeful, however, that he'll be able to return after the minimum 10 days are up. Outfielder Jake Fraley was recalled in a corresponding move, and Braden Bishop could see an increase in playing time while Moore is sidelined.
Aug 21 2020Moore was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers due to a sore wrist, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has gotten off to a surprisingly hot start, hitting .282/.364/.538 with five homers and six steals through his first 21 games. Austin Nola will move out from behind the plate to first base in his absence, with Joseph Odom entering the lineup as a catcher.
Aug 19 2020Moore went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a stolen base and another run scored during Wednesday's victory over the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore started things off hot with a single in the first inning. He quickly swiped second base, then scored on an RBI single from Austin Nola. Moore extended Seattle's lead in the sixth with a solo shot off Pedro Baez. It was his fifth homer and sixth stolen bag of the season.
Aug 17 2020Moore went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored in Monday's 11-9 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore was effective at keeping the line moving with his three singles Monday. He came around to score twice -- once on a Kyle Lewis homer in the third and again in the fourth on Kyle Seager's RBI single. The versatile Moore is slashing .292/.387/.554 with four homers, five stolen bases, nine RBI and 14 runs scored in 18 games. He typically bats second in the Mariners' order.
Aug 14 2020Moore went 0-for-3 with a run scored, a stolen base and a walk in Friday's 11-1 loss to the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore got aboard with a walk in the first inning, then advanced to second when Framber Valdez balked. Moore made it to third with his fifth stolen base of the year and eventually scored on a Kyle Seager sacrifice fly for the Mariners' only run in the game. The 28-year-old Moore is hitting .278/.371/.574 with the aforementioned five steals, four homers, nine RBI and 12 runs scored in 15 games.
Aug 10 2020Moore went 3-for-4 with a homer, three RBI, three runs scored and two walks in Monday's 10-2 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore got the Mariners on the board with an RBI single in the third inning. He added another in the sixth inning. Moore also scored on a three-run Kyle Lewis homer in the fifth and Kyle Seager's grand slam in the sixth before going yard himself with a solo shot in the seventh. The defensively versatile Moore is hitting .333/.388/.689 with four homers, nine RBI and 11 runs scored in 12 games this season. That hot bat will force manager Scott Servais to find ways to keep him in the lineup. Moore batted second and played right field in Monday's contest.
Aug 9 2020Moore went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and was hit by a pitch in Sunday's 5-3 win over Colorado. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore's third long ball of the season gave the Mariners a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning. The 28-year-old is sporting a .935 OPS with seven extra-base hits on the season.
Aug 8 2020Moore isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has gone 0-for-8 with seven strikeouts over the past two games, and he'll get a routine day off Saturday. Tim Lopes is starting in left field and batting seventh.
Aug 6 2020Moore went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore has now posted back-to-back multi-hit performances, and he has hit safely in six of his eight games this season. His playing time remains limited, but he might be in line for a bigger role moving forward if he continues to hit like he has done it in his first 30 plate appearances, where he has gone 11-for-30 (.367) with a 1.067 OPS.
Aug 5 2020Moore went 2-for-4 with a home run and a double in Tuesday's loss to the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore smacked just his second homer of the campaign, but he has been one of the most consistent hitters in the Mariners lineup. He has reached base in five of his seven games this season.
Aug 2 2020Moore went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore got aboard on a fielder's choice in the first inning, then promptly stole second and came around to score on a Daniel Vogelbach single. Moore later added a single in the sixth. His playing time has been limited so far, but the 28-year-old has a homer, three RBI and four runs scored in five games. He's versatile on defense, and the early results suggest he can improve on the .206/.302/.389 slash line he produced in 282 plate appearances in 2019.
Jul 30 2020Moore went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and was caught stealing on his only attempt in a win over the Angels on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: One night after logging his first game action of the season, Moore started in left field Wednesday and delivered a go-ahead, 394-foot three-run blast with Kyle Seager and Tim Lopes aboard in the sixth inning. If Moore can continue complementing his significant defensive versatility with a productive bat, he could certainly find his way to ample playing time in what is a transitional year for the rebuilding Mariners.
Jul 29 2020Moore went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Angels on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The versatile Moore saw time at third base after opening the game in left field in what was his first appearance of the season in any capacity. Moore offers manager Scott Servais considerable flexibility due to the sheer number of positions he's capable of playing, and despite his limited use up to this point, it's worth noting he offers some decent pop after lacing 25 of his 51 hits for extra bases during his 2019 rookie campaign.
Jul 20 2020Moore's delayed arrival at camp was in fact due to coronavirus, though never experienced symptoms, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore was one of several players across the league who had been absent for undisclosed reasons, though he supplied the expected explanation Monday. Being asymptomatic, he was able to work out as much one can in a hotel room, and he's been appearing in intrasquad games, though his roster spot as a utility man isn't all that safe. He hit just .206/.302/.389 in 282 plate appearances last year.
Jul 19 2020Moore, who arrived in summer camp Monday, started Saturday's intrasquad game, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The utility man's participation is another step in the right direction after the significant time he missed in the earlier portion of summer camp. Moore had enjoyed a productive Cactus League stint as well -- hitting .400 with a double, home run, three RBI, four walks and five steals -- which, when coupled with his considerable defensive versatility, would theoretically afford him solid job security, especially with rosters expanded over the first month of the campaign. However, it's worth noting manager Scott Servais introduced at least some doubt Saturday, with Drayer separately reporting the Seattle skipper mentioned "there are some tough decisions to be made here" in reference to the team's utility jobs.
Jul 13 2020Moore (not injury related) arrived at the Mariners' camp Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's unclear why Moore wasn't present for the beginning of camp, but he reported to camp and cleared intake testing as he was able to play catch on the field Monday. The 27-year-old is set to compete for a spot on the team's 30-man roster ahead of the regular season, but whether his absence will impact his availability remains to be seen. Moore made his major-league debut in 2019, hitting .206/.302/.389 with nine home runs and 28 RBI over 113 games.
Apr 17 2020Moore hit .400 (4-for-10) with a double, a home run, three RBI, four walks, five stolen bases and three runs across seven Cactus League contests before spring training was suspended. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The versatile 27-year-old entered spring poised for a battle for a utility role against the likes of Tim Lopes and Patrick Wisdom. Moore's spring numbers, albeit over a small sample, certainly speak highly of his chances, especially with the likelihood rosters are expanded to as much as 29 players to open the 2020 regular season. Moore generated an unsightly .206/.302/.389 line across his first 282 big-league plate appearances last season, but nearly half (25) of his 51 hits notably went for extra bases.
Mar 12 2020Moore (forearm) is listed as the Mariners' shortstop and No. 7 hitter for Thursday's Cactus League game against the Royals, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore sustained a bruise on his inner forearm Tuesday after being struck by a pitch, but he only needed one day off to overcome the injury. While his inclusion in the lineup implies Moore is healthy, whether he or the Mariners will actually end up playing is still undecided. According to Jeff Passan of ESPN.com, there are whispers among league executives that MLB will formally suspend spring training as soon as Thursday.
Mar 11 2020Moore only sustained a bruised inner forearm during Tuesday's spring game and could return as soon as Thursday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The initial diagnosis was that Moore had suffered a deep bone bruise to his right wrist Tuesday after being struck by a 93 mph fastball. A second evaluation provided the 27-year-old with the encouraging news that he could return as early as Thursday. Moore will try to avoid any additional injuries this spring, after enduring a concussion and sore calf earlier in camp.
Mar 10 2020Moore was diagnosed with a deep bone bruise to his right wrist Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old left Tuesday's game against the Angels in obvious pain after getting struck in the wrist by a pitch. It is encouraging that initial x-rays showed no fracture. Moore's nightmare spring continues after having missed time this camp twice already because of a concussion and a sore calf. The shortstop will be given a clearer timetable for his return in the coming days depending on his pain tolerance to throw and swing a bat.
Mar 6 2020Moore (concussion) went 1-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in a Cactus League loss to the Padres on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore took over for Shed Long as an in-game defensive replacement and continued the hot hitting that's been a hallmark of his spring thus far. The 27-year-old is battling for a utility spot on the Opening Day roster and has made a strong case in the first several games, going 3-for-6 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two stolen bases across five Cactus League contests.
Mar 5 2020Moore (concussion) will be available in a bench role for Thursday's Cactus League game against the Padres, Lauren Smith of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore only needed about a week to clear the concussion protocol after a head injury forced him out of a Feb. 27 game against the Reds. He'll likely come off the bench midway through Thursday's contest and pick up a couple of at-bats.
Mar 1 2020Moore (concussion) may be able to return to Cactus League action Wednesday versus the Angels, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore entered the concussion protocol after hitting his head during a stolen-base attempt last Wednesday, but he was able to return to running Saturday and should make his way into the lineup this week. The 27-year-old will resume competing for a utility role on the Opening Day roster upon his return.
Feb 29 2020Moore (concussion) is scheduled to do some running Saturday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore remains in the concussion protocol, but he'll be able to run Saturday as he works his way back to health. The 27-year-old sustained the injury in Wednesday's spring training game and will likely be held out until at least after Tuesday, when the Mariners have an off day.
Feb 27 2020Moore has entered the concussion protocol after banging his head on a stolen-base attempt in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Reds, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Moore relayed that he was feeling good when he reported to camp Thursday, but he said that he expects to miss at least a few days of game action while he waits to clear the protocol. The head injury shouldn't have a major impact on Moore's bid for a utility role on the Mariners' Opening Day roster.
Sep 13 2019Moore went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Reds on Thursday.
