Moll was designated for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lou Trivino was added to the 40-man roster in a corresponding move. Moll appeared in 11 games (6.2 innings) for the big club last season, and was a liability on the mound. In that time he allowed eight runs on 13 hits and three walks.

Moll gave up an earned run on three hits over 1.1 innings in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers. He also recorded a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old southpaw's rough introduction to the big leagues continues, as he's now given up at least one earned run in four of the last five appearances. Moll does have three holds to his credit, but he also sports an unsightly 10.50 ERA and 2.33 WHIP across the six innings encompassing his 10 appearances.

Moll notched the last out of the eighth inning in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Just recalled from Triple-A Nashville earlier in the day, the 25-year-old southpaw's major-league debut lasted a grand total of two pitches. Moll enjoyed an impressive six-appearances stint with the Sounds before his promotion and is likely to see only sporadic work with the big-league club.

Moll was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A waiver acquisition from Colorado in mid-August, Moll turned in six scoreless appearances with Nashville after posting a 4.18 ERA and 1.56 WHIP with the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate to begin the year. He will get his first big-league opportunity, but Moll is unlikely to pitch meaningful innings.

The A's acquired Moll from the Rockies in exchange for a player to be named later or cash and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Colorado effectively cut ties with its 2013 third-round pick last week, designating Moll for assignment, but the A's deemed Moll worthy of a 40-man spot. The lefty has struggled in the PCL this year, but he figures to get his first major-league opportunity in September as the A's evaluate for 2018.

Moll was designated for assignment by the Rockies on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Moll was added to the 40-man roster to provide a left-handed organizational depth for the bullpen, but hasn't impressed with Triple-A Albuquerque this season, posting a 4.18 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP over 44 relief appearances. The 25-year-old will likely stay in within the organization, unless another team decides to take a flyer.

Moll was reassigned to minor league camp Monday, Nick Groke of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old saw some success this spring, fanning five batters in just three innings pitched, but there simply is no room in the Rockies bullpen at the moment. However, Moll did produce some strong minor league numbers before struggling at Triple-A last season, so he could find his way back to Denver if he can turn things around back at Albuquerque.

Moll was added to Colorado's 40-man roster Friday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander's stats from 2016 don't really jump off the page, but his mid- to upper-90s fastball paired with his slider have created some intrigue over the past few years. Given that Jake McGee and Chris Rusin are the only lefties in the Rockies bullpen following Boone Logan's departure, Moll's solid mix of pitches could help him land a spot in the big league bullpen at some point this season.
