Blue Jays' Andrew Moore: Links up with Jays on MiLB deal
Rotowire
Moore signed a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays on June 14.
Moore had been a free agent since Detroit released him last August from his minor-league deal with the organization, so he'll first report to the Blue Jays' spring training facility in Florida before likely making his 2022 debut in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 28-year-old right-hander previously made 10 starts in the big leagues with the Mariners between the 2017 and 2019 seasons, but he's tossed just 3.1 innings in total -- all in the minors -- in the two-plus years since.

Mariners' Andrew Moore: Loses 40-man spot
Rotowire
The Mariners outrighted Moore to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
Seattle elected to drop Moore from its 40-man roster after he served up a season-high 10 runs in just two innings during his most recent start with Tacoma on Thursday. Moore's path to rejoining the big club will now become more difficult now that he no longer occupies a 40-man spot. Between stops at two Double-A and two Triple-A teams this season, Moore owns a 9.25 ERA and 1.67 WHIP and has surrendered 18 home runs in 60.1 innings.

Mariners' Andrew Moore: Struggles in return to majors
Rotowire
Moore allowed four earned runs in 4.2 innings against Houston on Tuesday but did not factor into the decision. He gave up six hits and one walk while striking out two.
Recalled from Double-A Arkansas to fill in for Yusei Kikuchi (rest), Moore did little to fool Houston hitters, giving up a pair of solo home runs and inducing only four swinging strikes. It was the 25-year-old's first appearance in the majors since 2017. With Kikuchi set to miss only one start, Moore doesn't figure to be in line for another major-league opportunity in the near future.

Mariners' Andrew Moore: Candidate for spot start
Rotowire
Moore is a candidate to start Tuesday against the Astros in place of Yusei Kikuchi, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Moore last pitched for Double-A Arkansas on Thursday, so he would be on his usual amount of rest should he get the call. The 25-year-old last appeared in the majors in 2017, when he posted a 5.34 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB in 59 innings (nine starts, two relief appearances) with the Mariners. Kikuchi is expected to rejoin the rotation later in the week, so if Moore did get the call, it would likely be for just one start.

Rays' Andrew Moore: Returns from minor-league DL
Rotowire
Moore (forearm) allowed three unearned runs on three hits and one walk across five innings for Triple-A Durham on Saturday. He struck out two.
As expected, Moore wound up missing just one turn through the rotation with a forearm injury. The 24-year-old, who was acquired from the Mariners earlier in the year, owns a 4.19 ERA across 16 appearances (77.1 innings) with the Bulls this season. Moore should be in line for a September callup given he's already on the 40-man roster.
