Rays pitcher Matt Moore was able to throw 15 pitches off the mound Friday for the first time since last April, according to MLB.com.
Moore, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, threw two bullpen sessions last week from halfway up the mound.
"I think the biggest [positive] sign is that every day, we've been meeting our goals and still feeling strong at the end of the day," Moore said.
Moore, who went 17-4 in 2013 with a 3.29 ERA and 143 strikeouts, torn his UCL in his left arm in just his second start of 2014.
"I've had no frustration, no. Not with anything that has to do with going out here," Moore said, smiling. "I think the frustrating part was the initial getting on board with: 'This is what the next year is going to be like.'
"For the most part, I've tried to embrace the process to where it's not a frustrating thing. I understand this has to happen, and I understand I have a choice in what attitude I bring to the yard every day."
