Braves non-tendered RHP Peter Moylan.
The decision was made late Monday night. Moylan underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right rotator cuff in early October and might not be ready by Opening Day. That could limit the Australian right-hander's suitors.

Peter Moylan is a non-tender candidate.
Moylan underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right rotator cuff in early October and is not likely to get back to 100 percent health by the start of the 2012 season. He threw only 8 1/3 total innings in 2011.

Peter Moylan will undergo arthroscopic surgery Monday to repair a torn right rotator cuff.
He's expected to need six months of recovery time, so Moyan is hoping to be ready at some point during spring training. "They've got to clean up the labrum and the cuff, and it should be about six months," Moylan said. "As soon as you hear shoulder, the first thing I thought was every other guy who's ever had to have a shoulder completely repaired has been out for 12 to 18 months. I was fearing the worst." The Braves are expected to non-tender Moylan this winter but could bring him back at a lesser salary than what he would earn through arbitration.

Peter Moylan will undergo surgery to repair a torn right rotator cuff.
Moylan reached the decision after getting a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews. It's a tough break for the 32-year-old right-hander, who was limited to just 13 appearances this season due to back surgery in May. The timeline for his return isn't yet clear.

Peter Moylan was diagnosed with a torn labrum and rotator cuff.
Awful news for Moylan, who just returned after missing four months following back surgery. He is scheduled to see Dr. James Andrews, but it's safe to say he won't be pitching for the Braves any time soon.

Peter Moylan (back) passed a big test in his recovery when he appeared in back-to-back games with Triple-A Gwinnett Tuesday and Wednesday.
He struck out the side Tuesday and also tossed a scoreless inning Wednesday. Moylan will pitch one more time for Gwinnett on Saturday before rejoining the Braves on Monday if he has no setbacks. He's been out since May after undergoing back surgery.
