Moore "felt really good" after throwing to hitters Sunday and was throwing around 89-92 MPH, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Moore's fastball velocity before he was injured was 91.2 MPH in two 2014 starts and 92.3 MPH in 27 2013 starts. 89-92 is about what to expect at this stage, but he could still add more as he moves further into his rehab. Moore also seemed to throw his full arsenal save the slider, according to Roger Mooney of The Tampa Tribune.

Moore will throw to hitters Sunday and is now targeting a mid-June return, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. The Rays have used eight different starters in 2015 despite not yet starting Moore or Alex Cobb, so Moore's return could bring back some serious stability for them. However, his control should be a concern during the first few weeks back, given he wasn't exactly the most walk-averse pitcher before the injury (career 4.3 BB/9).

Moore (elbow) was placed on the 60-day disabled list Friday, Steve Carney of 620 WDAE AM reports. Moore's placement on the disabled list comes as an ancillary move to add catcher Bobby Wilson to the 40-man roster. He's remains months away from a return from Tommy John surgery, but will need to be re-added to the roster upon his return.

Moore (elbow) will resume throwing bullpen sessions Friday, Steve Carney of WDAE 620 AM reports. The Rays had been resting Moore for the previous two weeks in an effort to aid his recovery from Tommy John surgery last April. Moore is slated to steadily increase the intensity of his throwing sessions over the next several weeks before receiving clearance to face hitters. The Rays appear to be earmarking his return to the rotation at some point in June.

Moore (elbow) will take a two-week break from throwing, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Moore is progressing well in his recovery from Tommy John Surgery, and the break is a scheduled part of his rehab. Assuming everything continues to move along as expected, Moore will eye a "Juneish" return.

Moore (elbow) threw from the pitching rubber Friday for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery last April, the Rays' official site reports. Previously, he had been limited to throwing from half-way up the mound. Friday's session included 15 pitches, and Moore reported that he felt good afterward. The expectation is that Moore will throw two bullpen sessions per week with the hope of adding volume to his workouts in the coming weeks. Moore didn't provide an updated timetable for his expected return, but previous estimates have suggested that he'll be back in the rotation in June.

Moore (elbow) threw off a mound Tuesday and was pleased with how it went, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Tuesday's mound session marked Moore's first since undergoing Tommy John surgery in April. It represents a big step forward in the lefty's recovery and it appears he's on track to return at some point in June, though the team figures to proceed with caution in the months ahead. Moore went 17-4 with a 3.29 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 8.6 K/9 as a 24-year-old in 2013.

Moore (elbow) is scheduled to begin throwing off a mound during the last week of January, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Moore's recovery from Tommy John surgery appears to be coming along smoothly, as the young southpaw has been throwing on flat ground for the past three months and is expected to be on a mound at some point in the last week of January. With this progress, Moore is confident that he will be back in the Rays' rotation in June.

Moore's (elbow) recovery from Tommy John surgery has him on schedule to return to the Rays' rotation in June, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. After just two starts, Moore's 2014 campaign came to an abrupt end in early April due to a torn UCL. However, the young lefty's recovery has gone well so far, as he has been on a throwing program since September and appears on track for an early-summer return to the Rays' rotation. The 25-year-old All-Star owns a 29-17 record with a solid 3.49 ERA and 8.8 K/9 over 61 career starts in the majors.

Moore (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Moore needed to be added to the 40-man roster Monday as the 60-day DL dissolves five days after the World Series ends. He participated in his first throwing session in early September since undergoing Tommy John surgery in April. His timetable is still unclear, but he should be able to pitch at some point next season. The Rays will need to make two moves to clear spots on the 40-man for Moore and Jerry Sands, who was also removed from the 60-day DL.
