Moore (foot) will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Moore was removed from an exhibition game Wednesday due to a bruised foot, but after coming off the bench and playing three innings at first base Friday, his availability for the start of the season is no longer in question. The 33-year-old had been in camp as a non-roster invitee but secured his spot on the Opening Day roster after the Phillies signed him to a one-year contract Sunday.

Moore (foot) signed a major-league contract with the Phillies on Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moore triggered an opt-out clause in his minor-league deal with the Phillies on Thursday, which gave the club 48 hours to add him to their 40-man roster before he entered free agency. Now that the two sides have agreed to a major-league deal, Moore will remain in the organization and is expected to be part of Philadelphia's Opening Day bench. The 33-year-old utility man has posted a .566 OPS with six RBI, four runs scored and two steals through 38 plate appearances in spring training.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies will have 48 hours to add Moore to their 40-man roster or he'll become a free agent Saturday. Moore was removed from Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta with a bruised foot, but manager Rob Thomson downplayed the injury after the contest. The 33-year-old Moore has slashed .172/.265/.207 with one extra-base hit, four RBI, four runs scored, two stolen bases and a 3:8 BB:K across 34 plate appearances this spring. He's competing for a utility job.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Moore was lifted from Wednesday's Grapefruit League game versus Atlanta in the top of the fifth inning due to a bruised foot, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomson downplayed any concern about the injury, noting that Moore was removed from the game mostly as a precaution shortly after fouling a ball off his foot. The 33-year-old signed a minor-league deal with the Phillies over the winter and is in the mix for a utility spot on the Opening Day roster.

Moore signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Friday and was invited to spring training, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moore finished the 2025 campaign with just a .642 OPS across 243 plate appearances, though he went 7-for-27 (.259) with two homers, six RBI, six runs scored and two steals after signing with the Rangers for the final month of the regular season. He'll now attempt to win a spot on Philadelphia's Opening Day roster, and his extreme defensive versatility should help his chances.

Moore went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Moore is now 6-for-19 with two home runs and two steals over 12 games with the Rangers. He continues to occupy a part-time role as a utility player in a reserve role. For the season, he's logged 14 steals, 11 homers, 25 RBI, 34 runs scored and a .204/.266/.384 slash line across 100 games between Texas and Seattle.

Moore went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Moore didn't start Saturday, but he came in off the bench as a pinch hitter. His blast came in his second at-bat, as he took Osvaldo Bido deep in the ninth inning. Moore is an option to provide coverage all around an ailing infield -- the Rangers are missing Marcus Semien (foot), Corey Seager (appendectomy) and Jake Burger (wrist) among their usual starters. Moore will likely get most of his starts versus left-handed pitchers, but his defensive versatility will make him a frequent late-game replacement. Between Texas and Seattle, he has a .199/.267/.378 slash line with 10 homers, 22 RBI, 30 runs scored and 12 stolen bases over 217 plate appearances.

Moore started at first base and went 1-for-2 with an RBI in Friday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

The injury-riddled Rangers are getting by with unexpected names in the infield. Moore, whose contract was selected Friday, filled in for the injured Jake Burger (wrist). There are other opportunities for Moore with two middle-infield starters -- shortstop Corey Seager (appendectomy) and second baseman Marcus Semien (foot) -- currently on the shelf.

The Rangers selected Moore's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With Corey Seager (abdomen) expected to miss the vast majority, if not the remainder of the regular season, Moore will come up from the minors to round out the Rangers' infield depth. Josh Smith is expected to take over as Texas' primary shortstop going forward; however, Moore's ability to play virtually every position could allow him to play on a somewhat consistent basis.

The Rangers are expected to select Moore's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers are going to be without Corey Seager (appendectomy) for an extended period of time, so the team will turn to Moore to provide additional infield depth. Although he owns just a .622 OPS through 213 plate appearances from his time with the Mariners this year, Moore could be in line for regular playing time with the Rangers, and his extreme defensive versatility will only help his chances of sticking in the lineup.
