Moore will continue to pitch in the rotation for now, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
There were some rumblings that Moore could be replaced in the rotation, however manager Kevin Cash squashed those rumors, suggesting the 26-year-old will make a least one more turn in the rotation. Originally scheduled to face the Red Sox on Friday, Chris Harper will jump ahead of him in the rotation, pushing Moore's next start to Saturday.

Moore lasted just 4.2 innings Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three in a no-decision.
EDGE Analysis
He cruised through four shutout innings, but after coughing up two runs in the fifth Moore received a quick hook after 79 pitches. The left-hander should remain in the rotation for the remainder of the season, but given his inefficiency and the Rays' tendency to go to their bullpen early, there are probably better plays if you're looking for wins. Moore's next start is set for Friday, at home against the Red Sox.

Moore will start Saturday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore, who was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, will replace Nate Karns in the Rays' rotation. He will start for the big league club for the first time since Aug. 1, and for just the seventh time all year. He has struggled in the majors this, but he did pitch well over his final five minor league starts, posting a 3.30 ERA and striking out 43 batters over 30 innings.

Moore, who was recalled by the Rays on Tuesday, could step into Nate Karns' rotation spot Friday against the Yankees, the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin reports.
EDGE Analysis
A lot of this is speculation, but Chris Archer, Jake Odorizzi and Drew Smyly are all presumed safe, and with Erasmo Ramirez making his scheduled start Tuesday, it appears that Karns may be the odd man out, as the Rays have said they won't be going to a six-man rotation. Either way, Moore figures to be a high-upside option in most formats down the stretch.

Moore will be called up when rosters expand Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty has excelled with Triple-A Durham, and it seems like he'll get another chance to rejoin the Rays' rotation in September. After all, the team's still got him under contract for next year.

Moore is poised to rejoin the rotation after his likely call-up during the September roster expansion, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore has been excellent since landing at Triple-A Durham, striking out 43 in just 30 innings. If the Rays want to give him another shot at the rotation now that he seems to have his strikeout stuff back, there's a strong chance he will improve from his 8.78 ERA stint earlier in the year.

The Tampa Bay Rays announced after Saturday's 11-7 loss to the Boston Red Sox that pitcher Matt Moore would be demoted to Triple-A Durham, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Moore allowed six runs on nine hits in just three innings Saturday, and he has struggled considerably since returning from Tommy John surgery.

Moore earned his first win on the year, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three in five innings of work during a 4-3 victory over the Astros on Sunday. The left-hander struggled at times on the mound, giving up a run in the first inning and a homer to Jose Altuve in the fourth before being pulled after five innings and 88 pitches. It was the first time Moore made it through five since returning from Tommy John surgery. In just 14 innings, the 26-year-old has posted a 7.07 ERA and a 1.93 WHIP.

Moore gave up four runs on nine hits over 4.1 innings in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals. He was unable to get ahead of hitters on a regular basis Tuesday, throwing 12 first-pitch strikes to the 24 batters he faced. While Moore threw 50 of his 85 pitches for strikes, he generated just six swinging strikes in the outing. The Rays have Moore on track to start Sunday at home against Houston in the team's final game prior to the All-Star break.

Moore struggled in his season debut Thursday against Cleveland, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks in just 4.2 innings. He struck out four in the no-decision. On a day when his interstate rival Jose Fernandez came back from Tommy John looking dominant, Moore's return from the same surgery didn't look nearly as good. However, the 26-year-old lefty has great stuff and shouldn't be dismissed in fantas circles. Moore pitched well on his rehab assignment and should settle in as the year goes on; owners may have to cut him some slack in the early going, though, considering that he was able to make just two starts last season. He'll draw the Royals next week.
