Moylan has decided to retire, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 40-year-old will call it quits after his 2018 season was cut short due to a forearm injury. Moylan spent parts of 12 seasons in the majors, compiling a career 3.97 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 418.2 innings of relief with the Braves, Dodgers and Royals.

Moylan (forearm) suffered a setback and was shifted to the 60-day disabled list.

EDGE Analysis

Moylan re-aggravated his right forearm strain during a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday and will likely be sidelined for the rest of the 2018 season. The Braves announced that he was returned from the minor leagues and then moved off the 40-man roster, which will allow for another member of the Braves' organization to earn a call-up once rosters expand this weekend. Technically, Moylan will be eligible to return from the DL in late September, but that would come as a huge surprise considering it's been over a month since he initially sustained the injury and he had yet to return.

Moylan (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Moylan is expected to require multiple appearances at the Triple-A level after landing on the DL in late July due to a right forearm strain. On the year, he's logged a 4.45 ERA and 1.76 WHIP across 28.1 innings of relief.

Moylan (forearm) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Saturday, David O'Brien of The Athletic Atlanta reports.

EDGE Analysis

If all goes well during Saturday's session against live hitters, Moylan could be cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett sometime next week. The veteran right-hander has been on the shelf all month with a forearm strain, but he could be back in the big-league in September if all goes well in his rehab.

Moylan was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right forearm strain Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The move is retroactive to July 29, so Moylan could be eligible to return Aug. 8, but this is the second forearm strain the veteran has suffered this season, which makes that seem less likely. Forearm strains sometimes foreshadow a more serious diagnosis, which would not be a good sign at all for the 39-year-old at this stage in his career. Kolby Allard was promoted from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

Moylan (forearm) was reinstated from the disabled list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 39-year-old struggled to a 4.85 ERA in 26 innings prior to suffering a forearm strain in early July. His walk rate spiked to 14.1 percent, leading to a high 1.85 WHIP. Arodys Vizcaino (shoulder) hit the disabled list in a corresponding move.

Moylan was put on the 10-day DL with a right forearm strain Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Moylan will be eligible to return from the shelf July 13, but it's unclear how much time he'll miss after appearing to suffer this injury during Sunday's contest. Across 36 appearances this year, he's posted a 4.85 ERA and 1.85 WHIP.

Moylan walked two of three batters he faced in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Nationals before being pulled with two outs in the top of the sixth inning.

EDGE Analysis

After starter Mike Foltynewicz allowed a one-out double, Moylan got the call from the bullpen and retired only one hitter while proceeding to load the bases with the two free passes. Fortunately for Foltynewicz and Moylan, Sam Freeman was able to strike out Ryan Zimmerman with the bases loaded to end the Washington threat and spare both pitchers damage to their ERAs. All four of Moylan's appearances this season have spanned less than an inning, so it's likely that manger Brian Snitker will continue to pick his spots carefully with the 39-year-old right-hander, who has held same-handed hitters to a .207/.272/.300 line for his career.

Moylan signed a one-year, $575,000 contract with the Braves on Monday,

EDGE Analysis

Moylan and the Braves and been in discussions on a contract the last several days, but the terms of the deal weren't known until the 39-year-old completed a three-hour physical Monday. The Aussie sidearmer returns to the organization he started his career with on a major-league contract that escalates to $1.25 million if he's included on the Braves' Opening Day roster. After sitting out 2014 campaign following his second Tommy John surgery, Moylan has enjoyed a nice late-career surge, accruing a 3.00 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 96 holds over the past three seasons, the last two of which came with the Royals. Look for him to settle into a situational setup role for the Braves if he makes it out of the spring healthy.

Moylan and the Braves came to terms on a contract Monday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moylan will take a physical later Monday before it's revealed whether he received a minor- or major-league contract, but either way, the 39-year-old, who had two previous stints with Atlanta from 2006 to 2012 and in 2015, should have a great shot at claiming an Opening Day roster spot in light of his success in Kansas City in 2017. The Aussie made 79 appearances out of the Royals bullpen last season, registering a 3.49 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 59.1 innings. He was especially effective against right-handed batters, holding them to a .161/.244/.236 line.
