Reds' Sam Moll: Shut down for season
Moll (shoulder impingement) is being shut down for the season, MLB.com reports.
The Reds want Moll to focus on offseason treatments. The left-hander had been dealing with a shoulder injury since mid-June, but it worsened Sept. 6 while he was warming up in the bullpen. Moll ends the year with a 3.35 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 38 strikeouts and 14 walks over 37.2 innings.

Reds' Sam Moll: Sidelined by shoulder issue
The Reds placed Moll on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left shoulder impingement.
The left-hander presumably suffered the injury during Saturday's appearance against the Mets, during which he surrendered three runs on a hit, a walk and a hit-by-pitch without recording an out. Moll will be eligible to return during the final week of the season, but he may have already thrown his final pitch of 2024.

Reds' Sam Moll: Loses spot in bullpen
The Reds optioned Moll to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Moll had made five scoreless appearances after coming off the injured list April 23, but he nonetheless now finds himself without a spot on the 26-man active roster. The Reds will make a corresponding move prior to Tuesday's game, with Frankie Montas (forearm) presumably on track to be activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start that day versus the Diamondbacks.

Reds' Sam Moll: Makes season debut
Moll allowed two hits and struck out two over a scoreless ninth inning in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Phillies.
Moll was activated off the injured list and made his season debut after dealing with a left shoulder impingement that delayed his offseason throwing program. Tuesday's blowout win gave manager David Bell a chance to introduce Moll in a low-leverage situation. The left-hander was brilliant for the Reds in 2023; Cincinnati acquired him from Oakland on Aug. 1, and he logged a 0.73 ERA over 25 appearances.

Reds' Sam Moll: Activated from injured list
The Reds activated Moll (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
Moll has been out all season with a left shoulder issue and had experienced a minor setback earlier this month, but he's been cleared to rejoin the Reds' bullpen after allowing six runs with a 6:2 K:BB over 7.1 rehab innings. The southpaw earned high-leverage work with the Reds last season, but he'll probably be eased into such situations initially this year.

Reds' Sam Moll: Set for spring debut
Moll (shoulder) will make his Cactus League debut Monday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Moll came into camp behind schedule after feeling some left shoulder soreness during his offseason throwing program. He's been cleared for game action, though, and the Reds believe he can ramp up in time for Opening Day. Assuming health, Moll should be one of the team's key left-handed relievers.

Reds' Sam Moll: Possibility for Opening Day
Moll (shoulder) has a chance to be ready in time for Opening Day, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Moll entered training camp behind schedule and hasn't yet pitched in a major-league spring training game, but he has been able to put in work and is ahead of teammate Alex Young (back). With Young set to begin the season on the injured list, the Reds have a greater need for Moll as a lefty specialist, which might lead to a few more opportunities to record holds early on.

Reds' Sam Moll: Earns win
Moll (2-3) allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over two scoreless innings to earn the win over Cleveland on Tuesday.
Moll and others in the bullpen combined for six scoreless innings, giving the offense a chance to overcome a disastrous outing from starter Hunter Greene. Moll has not allowed a run over his last 19 appearances (18 innings) and sports a shiny 0.76 ERA across 23.2 innings since being acquired by the Reds at the trade deadline.

Reds' Sam Moll: Traded to Cincy
The Athletics traded Moll to Cincinnati on Monday in exchange for Joe Boyle, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Moll has taken a notable step back this season from his 2022 campaign, putting up a 4.54 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 37.2 innings. Moll's high strikeout rate could buy him a few high-leverage appearances with Cincinnati, but the 31-year-old lefty will likely work primarily in low-to-mid-leverage situations.

Athletics' Sam Moll: Earns first career save
Moll allowed two hits and struck out two without walking a batter in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Yankees.
Moll wasn't exactly sharp, but he was able to navigate the traffic on the basepaths to earn his first career save. He's filled a high-leverage role at times this year with five holds through 34 appearances, but Trevor May has handled most of the Athletics' closing chances in June. Moll has a 3.99 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 35:15 K:BB over 29.1 innings, though the lack of leads to protect limits his appeal in most fantasy formats despite the strong strikeout numbers.

Athletics' Sam Moll: To serve as opener Friday
Moll will serve as the Athletics' opening pitcher Friday against the Brewers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Luis Medina had been the listed starter for Oakland, but he'll instead operate in bulk relief. Moll owns a 4.57 ERA through 21.2 innings this year, working exclusively out of the bullpen.

Athletics' Sam Moll: Takes third loss Monday
Moll (0-3) took the loss against the Pirates on Monday, allowing an earned run on two hits over one inning. He struck out one.
Entrusted with preserving a 4-4 tie upon entering in the eighth, Moll wasn't quite up to the task, ultimately allowing an Andrew McCutchen sacrifice fly that would prove to be the difference in the game. The left-hander saw a five-appearance scoreless streak snapped with Monday's stumble, and although he does boast a career-high 10.0 K/9 at the moment and has yet to allow a home run through 21.2 innings, he's also carrying a career-worst 5.4 BB/9.

Athletics' Sam Moll: Takes loss Sunday
Moll (0-2) took the loss in extra innings against the Mets on Sunday, allowing an unearned run in 1.1 innings while also recording a strikeout.
Moll was a prototypical tough-luck loser in the one-run defeat, especially considering his outing began with an inning-ending double play he induced from Eduardo Escobar with the bases loaded in the ninth to preserve a 3-3 tie. However, a Francisco Alvarez sacrifice fly that moved Escobar, the inning-opening runner, to third base in the 10th ended up costing Moll, as a Zach Jackson wild pitch eventually allowed the Mets' third baseman to cross the plate with what proved to be the winning run. The 31-year-old southpaw hasn't allowed an earned run in seven of his eight appearances, making him a trusted relief asset early.
