Moore (oblique) told reporters Saturday that he won't be activated off the injured list Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moore threw a bullpen before Saturday's game against the Rockies, and he told reporters it went "ok" but not well enough to come off the 15-day IL come Monday. The left-hander said he needs at least one more session, and when that will come will be determined by how he feels Sunday. Once active, Moore should be a high-leverage option for the Angels' bullpen again.

Moore (oblique) will throw a bullpen Wednesday before a simulated game over the weekend, and he could return to the major-league roster early next week, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com

EDGE Analysis

Moore has been on the shelf since the end of May with a Grade 2 oblique strain. It appears the southpaw has a chance to return to the Los Angeles relief staff without a rehab stint, but that likely will be determined by how the simulated action over the weekend goes. One way or another, Moore should be pitching in the late innings for the Angels by the end of June.

Moore (oblique) threw a bullpen session Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Phil Nevin said Sunday that Moore's bullpen went better than expected, and the southpaw is scheduled for another bullpen Tuesday or Wednesday. If he feels good again following his mid-week throwing session, it wouldn't be surprising to see him embark on a rehab assignment soon.

Moore (oblique) said he played catch from 60 feet Sunday, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moore is gradually increasing his throwing distance off flat ground while he's in the early stages of a throwing program following a roughly two-week shutdown due to a right oblique strain. The veteran southpaw will need to advance to throwing off a mound and then facing hitters in live batting practice before the Angels map out a rehab assignment for him.

Moore (oblique) was able to play catch on the field prior to Saturday's game against Seattle, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moore was cleared to resume a throwing program Friday, and the left-hander's first step is being able to participate in a game of catch. The left-hander is recovering from a Grade 2 oblique strain, and the hope is that he'll be able to return to the Angels' bullpen by the end of June.

Moore (oblique) has been cleared to begin a throwing program in the coming days, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Moore underwent an MRI in late May and was diagnosed with a Grade 2 oblique strain. While his ability to resume throwing soon is clearly a positive development, the lefty reliever will likely need to build up on flat ground before returning to a mound. Moore was thriving prior to the injury, posting a 1.44 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB over 25 innings. He leads the team with 12 holds.

The Angels placed Moore on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right oblique strain.

EDGE Analysis

Moore suffered the injury while throwing prior to Friday's 6-2 win over the Marlins. According to Sam Blum of The Athletic, Angels manager Phil Nevin said Moore is dealing with a Grade 2 strain and is without a timeline for a return, though the expectation is that the southpaw will miss more than the minimum 15 days. The Angels called up right-hander Ben Joyce from Double-A Rocket City on Sunday to take Moore's spot in the bullpen.

Angels manager Phil Nevin said after Saturday's 8-5 loss to Miami in 10 innings that Moore is set to be placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to an oblique strain, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Nevin, Moore suffered the injury in question while throwing on the field prior to Friday's 6-2 win. After an MRI on Saturday confirmed that he had suffered a strain, Moore will now be shelved for at least the next two and a half weeks, though the Angels haven't offered up a precise timeline for his return. The Angels will promote top relief prospect Ben Joyce from Double-A Rocket City to take Moore's spot in the bullpen.

Moore (3-1) earned the win over the Guardians on Friday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out one batter over two innings.

EDGE Analysis

By most standards, this was actually Moore's worst outing of the campaign, as it was the first time in 17 trips to the mound that he has allowed multiple hits and just the third time he's allowed an earned run. However, a ninth-inning Angels comeback put the left-hander in line for his third victory of the campaign. Moore has been excellent out of the bullpen in his first season with the Angels, notching a team-high eight holds while registering a 1.35 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB over 20 innings.

Moore agreed to terms on a one-year, $7.55 million contract with the Angels on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moore had been one of the best remaining available free agents after posting a 1.95 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 83:38 K:BB over 74 innings for the Rangers last season. He also collected five saves and should be in the late-inning mix for the Angels in 2023, particularly since he was effective against hitters from both sides of the plate, holding righties to a .537 OPS and lefties to a .634 OPS.
