Moore (elbow) is likely to make at least two more starts after throwing a bullpen session Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. As the timeframe of Moore's return becomes more specific, the risk of a setback shrinks and he becomes more valuable as a mid-season addition (if possible). If he's still somehow a free agent in your league, he's probably worth a pickup given how high his ceiling could be.

Moore (elbow) will make his next rehab appearance Sunday, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Moore pitched on Tuesday after his previously scheduled appearance on Monday was rained out. Mooney also said that Moore will likely make another appearance before getting called back up to the Rays later this month.

Moore's (elbow) rehab start at High-A Charlotte has been pushed back to Tuesday. Monday's game has been rained out, so Moore will take the hill Tuesday as he nears the end of his rehab assignment. The southpaw is expected to throw around 75 pitches, and he continues to be on pace to return to the big league club by the end of the month.

Moore will make a rehab start Monday at High-A Charlotte, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Moore is expected to make one more rehab appearance beyond Monday's start, and that will likely come next weekend. Assuming he doesn't suffer a setback, Moore is on track to return to the Rays before the end of the month.

Moore (elbow) will make at least two more rehab starts before being activated from the disabled list, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Moore will make his next rehab start Monday with an extra day of rest, and then pitch again on normal rest five days later. Those would be Moore's third and fourth rehab starts, so if he can avoid any bumps in the road over the next couple weeks, he could return to the big club before June comes to a close.

Moore (elbow) tossed four shutout innings Tuesday for High-A Charlotte, giving up three hits and one walk while striking out four. He threw 64 pitches (41 strikes) in this rehab outing, which was in line with what was expected heading into the start. Moore should continue to climb the ladder, possibly going to Double-A or Triple-A next. Continue to monitor his pitch counts in these outings, as he will likely be activated when he gets to around the 90-pitch threshold.

Moore (elbow) will make another rehab start Tuesday for High-A Charlotte, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports. Expect Moore to increase his pitch count Tuesday after covering 2.1 innings in his first rehab start with Charlotte last week. Moore is eventually expected to move his rehab to Triple-A Durham, but likely not until he draws closer to the 90-pitch threshold.

Moore threw a bullpen session where "everything was good" according to manager Kevin Cash and could get an extra day of rest before his second rehab start, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. The extra day of rest shouldn't be too significant, as Moore is still easing his way back to the mound at a major league level. If he does get the rest, he'll be pitching Tuesday and should again be on a low pitch limit.

Moore (elbow) tossed 2.1 innings in a rehab start with High-A Charlotte on Wednesday. He threw 52 pitches and averaged 89-91 mph on his fastball during the outing, according to Josh Vitale of the Charlotte Sun. Moore accomplished what he wanted to in his first game action since undergoing Tommy John surgery, reaching the 50-pitch mark and avoiding any sort of setback. He will throw several more times in the minors before the Rays consider activating him, but with a rehab assignment underway, he is on pace to rejoin the big club later this month or early in July.

Moore (elbow) will begin his rehab assignment at High-A Charlotte on Wednesday, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports. After making it through a bullpen session without issue over the weekend, Moore will begin his rehab Wednesday with a limit of three innings or 50 pitches. The hope is that he'll be ready to rejoin the Tampa Bay rotation later this month.
