Adam

Moore

Moore will be assigned to Triple-A Omaha. The backstop has a career .199/.239/.312 line over 104 career MLB games, and was hitting .255 with a .712 OPS over 106 at-bats with Triple-A Nashville.

Moore has seen action at the major league level in nine of the last 10 seasons, but he has a weak .199/.239/.312 career batting line to show for it. The 34-year-old will serve as organizational depth at catcher for Texas.

Moore was outrighted to Triple-A Durham, but instead of remaining with the team, he’ll elect free agency. With a career .550 OPS over 109 MLB games, he’l be organizational fodder for someone in 2019.

Moore suffered a broken bone last week in the back of his right hand and is expected to miss at least 10 more days of action. The 27-year-old is likely to make his regular season debut at the Triple-A level.

Moore is expected to need the next 4-6 weeks to recover. He will likely head to Triple-A Tacoma once he’s back to full health.

Moore suffered a broken bone in the back of his right hand earlier this month. The 27-year-old backstop is already catching bullpen sessions and should resume hitting and throwing sometime next week.

Moore suffered a broken bone in the back of his right hand in early-March, but he hasn’t had any issues so far. He’s expected to catch on Thursday and serve as the designated hitter on Friday. The M’s already have Miguel Olivo, John Jaso and Jesus Montero as options behind the plate at the major league level, so he figures to stay at Triple-A for a while.

Moore suffered a broken bone in the back of his right hand in early-March, but he’s 4-for-15 (.267) with a homer over his first five games with the Rainiers. It’s ultimately not a surprising move with Miguel Olivo, John Jaso and Jesus Montero expected to split time behind the plate at the big league level.

MLB.com’s Greg Johns cautions that Moore “might be overly optimistic with his estimate of a 2-4 week absence.” He still seems likely to miss most, if not all, of the rest of spring training. If not on the DL, Moore could begin the year in the minors unless the Mariners decide to carry three catchers.

Moore suffered the injury when a ball in the dirt hit his throwing hand during Tuesday’s Cactus League game. It’s more rotten luck for the 27-year-old backstop, who missed almost all of the 2011 season after undergoing surgery last April to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. We should have further information on his status after he visits a hand specialist Thursday.
