Moore cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old was designated for assignment Tuesday but didn't garner interest on the waiver wire, so he'll remain in the organization. Moore missed the start of the season with a knee injury and has given up two runs over two-thirds of an inning in two appearances at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Moore was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
He's losing his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Michael Tonkin, who was claimed off waivers. Moore missed the first couple weeks of this season with a knee injury and since returning has allowed two runs with a 1:6 K:BB over two-thirds of an inning. The 25-year-old has missed a ton of bats in the minors in the past, so even with his current struggles he could receive interest via trade or waivers.

The Yankees reinstated Moore (knee) from the 15-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
EDGE Analysis
Moore was unable to pitch during spring training as a result of right knee bursitis, and he has been on the injured list since Opening Day. Now fully recovered, Moore will serve as organizational depth in Triple-A, where he turned in a 1.38 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 13 innings last season as part of the Phillies' farm system.

The Yankees placed Moore on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right knee bursitis.
EDGE Analysis

The Yankees claimed Moore off waivers from the Phillies on Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore struggled in his brief time with the Phillies and has always had poor control, but he also boasts a 33 percent strikeout rate during his time in the minors. The 25-year-old is likely headed to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start 2024.

The Phillies designated Moore for assignment Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Moore will lose his spot on Philadelphia's 40-man roster as a result of Spencer Turnbull officially signing with the club Wednesday. Moore appeared in three games for the Phillies last season, surrendering seven earned runs in 3.1 innings while striking out two batters and walking five. He found consistent success in the minor leagues, however, making it possible another team gives him a look off the waiver wire.
