The Reds and Moll avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $875,000 contract, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll have a chance to earn an additional $150,000 in incentives. Moll split his time between the Reds and Triple-A Louisville in 2025, posting a 6.38 ERA and 22:10 K:BB over 18.1 frames with the big club. The lefty reliever does not have minor-league options remaining, so he would have to pass through waivers in order to be sent down.

The Reds optioned Moll to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Reds have a bullpen game Tuesday against the Blue Jays and needed a reliever who can provide more length than Moll, who has covered just 18.1 frames in his 23 appearances this season. Reiver Sanmartin is taking Moll's spot on the roster.

The Reds recalled Moll from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Moll has made just three appearances in the majors this season, getting dinged for four runs over two innings. He was unscored upon in his last four outings with Louisville and will give manager Terry Francona a left-handed bullpen option.

The Reds reinstated Moll (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Moll's 30-day rehab window coming to a close, the Reds were content with the members of their nine-man bullpen and opted to keep the lefty at Triple-A rather than opening a spot for him on the 26-man active roster. Moll should still rank near the top of the list for a call-up if the Reds require another relief arm at any point. The southpaw had posted a 6.52 ERA and 1.97 WHIP over 9.2 innings during his rehab assignment with Louisville, but he delivered scoreless appearances in four of his last five outings.

Moll (shoulder) has allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out nine over seven innings across seven appearances while on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville.
EDGE Analysis
Moll was added to the 15-day injured list in mid-April with a left shoulder impingement and has been eligible for activation since April 26. Relievers usually don't require this many rehab innings before being activated, and after beginning his stint with Louisville on April 22, the Reds are getting close to using the maximum 30 days allowed.

Moll (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moll has been shelved since mid-April with a left shoulder impingement but has been cleared to test things out in a game setting. He is eligible for activation Saturday, and, given that his absence has been relatively brief, he should have a good shot to return at that time.

The Reds placed Moll on the 15-day injured list Monday with a left shoulder impingement.
EDGE Analysis
Moll hadn't pitched in a week and his velocity was down in his last appearance, so it seems this is something he's been dealing with for a little while. It's not yet clear how much time he might miss.

Moll (shoulder) agreed to a one-year, $1.001 million contract with the Reds on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander landed on the injured list late last season due to a shoulder impingement but should be ready for the start of spring training. Moll made 48 appearances for the Reds last year and had a 3.35 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 38:14 K:BB over 37.2 innings.

Moll (shoulder impingement) is being shut down for the season, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Reds want Moll to focus on offseason treatments. The left-hander had been dealing with a shoulder injury since mid-June, but it worsened Sept. 6 while he was warming up in the bullpen. Moll ends the year with a 3.35 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 38 strikeouts and 14 walks over 37.2 innings.

The Reds placed Moll on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left shoulder impingement.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander presumably suffered the injury during Saturday's appearance against the Mets, during which he surrendered three runs on a hit, a walk and a hit-by-pitch without recording an out. Moll will be eligible to return during the final week of the season, but he may have already thrown his final pitch of 2024.
