The Rays will evaluate the status of Matt Moore (elbow) further on Thursday to decide whether he'll require surgery to repair his torn ulnar collateral ligament. "It needs to be looked at a little bit more deeply because it's not a slam dunk surgery right now," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. Moore visited Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion and had an MRI taken of the elbow, the results of which will be taken into account when making a decision on Tommy John surgery. If needed, Moore would be sidelined until the middle of the 2015 season. A decision could come as soon as Thursday.
