Moore may have his next start skipped in order to work on his pitches, Andrew Baggarly of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore is currently penciled in as the starter for Sunday's game against the Nationals, though manager Bruce Bochy is mulling over the idea of skipping his start in order to give the veteran lefty some time to work on his throwing mechanics. The 28-year-old currently owns a 5.88 ERA and has given up nine earned runs over his past two starts, so he could benefit from that added time off.

Moore (3-12) allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out seven batters through six innings during Monday's loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Moore allowed at least four runs in each of his previous five outings and now sports a 5.88 ERA 1.59 WHIP and 7.8 K/9 for the campaign. He's not even performing well at AT&T Park anymore with 31 runs allowed through 37.2 innings over his past seven home starts. At this stage of the game, Moore is probably best viewed as a low-end option best left to deep fantasy settings. He projects to face the Nationals at Washington in his next start.

Moore (3-11) surrendered four runs over five innings in Wednesday's loss to the A's. He struck out four while giving up six hits and three walks.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran lefty has had a brutal season with few redeeming qualities, and it hasn't been getting better. He's allowed a homer in five consecutive starts, including Ryon Healy's two-run blast in this one, and his ERA and WHIP are up to 5.80 and 1.60, respectively. The occasional solid outing he churns out simply doesn't make up for the 28-year-old's struggles in the vast majority of his starts, and with a matchup with the Cubs up next, those rostering him don't have much to look forward to.

Moore (3-10) went 6.1 innings against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and four walks, striking out six and receiving a no-decision.
EDGE Analysis
The southpaw fared much better than his last outing against the Dodgers, in which he surrendered nine earned runs over 3.1 innings in a blowout loss, but suffered a let-down when his bullpen couldn't get him out of the seventh inning. Other than a Corey Seager home run in the first inning, Moore held the Dodger bats in check for most of the night, but walked Enrique Hernandez and allowed a double to Joc Pederson before exiting in the seventh. George Kontos promptly allowed both runners to score, hurting the overall starter's line. Although Moore has shown far more consistency over his last three starts, it's still tough to trust the 28-year-old in fantasy formats considering his 5.74 ERA and 4.66 FIP, though his 7.60 K/9 could inspire some hope.

Moore (3-10) allowed four runs on seven hits while striking out seven across six innings, but received no decision Saturday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Moore did quite well the first time through the lineup before getting pasted for four runs in the fourth inning, but the offense gave him enough support to keep him from losing his 11th game of the campaign. Even though he's thrown in a few decent starts on occasion, his 5.82 ERA is a fair reflection of the pitcher he's been all season, which is an extremely shaky fantasy option. He'll make his next start Friday against the Dodgers.

Moore (3-10) allowed four runs (two earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out five over seven innings during Monday's loss to the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Moore pitched fairly well Monday but received no favors from his defense who committed two errors behind him and ended up sticking the 28-year-old with his 10th loss of the season. Despite his respectable performance, Moore remains a pitcher that simply cannot be relied upon in any fantasy format this season. He'll carry a 5.81 ERA into his upcoming scheduled start Saturday against the Padres.

Moore (3-9) served up five runs on 12 hits and struck out just one over 3.2 innings in a loss Friday to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Although Moore did give up a home run to Giancarlo Stanton, he was mostly singled to death, as only two of the 12 hits he allowed went for extra bases. He threw 51 strikes out of 70 pitches, but Moore was catching too much of the fat part of the plate and paid for it. His ERA is up to 6.04 and his time in the rotation may be getting short as Johnny Cueto and Madison Bumgarner are both nearing their returns to San Francisco's pitching staff.

Moore (3-8) allowed one run on four hits and six walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings, but didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Moore was fortunate to hold the Bucs to just a single run in a game in which he allowed 10 runners to reach base, and since the offense only provided him with one run of support, he missed out on a chance to pick up his fourth win. Although this was his second quality start over his last three outings, his 5.78 ERA makes him a risky fantasy option. He'll make his next start Friday against the Marlins.

Moore gave up five earned runs on seven hits in 4.1 innings to the Mets on Sunday. He walked three and struck out five while taking the loss 8-2.
EDGE Analysis
This was the second time in his last three starts that Moore has been bounced before the fifth inning, which was largely thanks to Rene Rivera's pair of homers. The 28-year-old now owns a 3-8 record with an awful 6.04 ERA on the year, and he'll look to bounce back Saturday on the road in Pittsburgh.

Moore (3-7) gave up three runs on seven hits over seven innings in Tuesday's win over Atlanta. He struck out six and walked one.
EDGE Analysis
Not generally known for his control, Moore was on point in this one, throwing 71 of his 102 pitches for strikes. It was a much-needed improvement after the lefty got rocked for 16 earned runs in 13 innings over his prior three outings, but Moore still has ugly season numbers with a 5.82 ERA and 1.58 WHIP, and it doesn't look like he's going to start rattling off gems anytime soon. He'll draw the Mets at home on Sunday.
