Moylan

The 40-year-old spent nine of his 12 seasons with Atlanta while also enduring brief stints with the Dodgers and Royals. Though his big-league career is now over, Moylan plans to continue pitching in Italy and also hopes to represent his native Australia in the upcoming Olympics. The right-hander pitched to a 3.10 ERA across 418 2/3 major league innings. Each of his 499 appearances came in relief.

Moylan was sidelined by a right forearm strain in the second half of the 2018 season and turned 40 years old in December, but it’s possible he’ll be able to find a non-guaranteed minor league deal and MLB camp invite once the back end of the free agent relief market settles. The native of Addadale, Australia holds a 3.10 ERA in 418 2/3 career major league innings.

Moylan missed the final two months of the season with a forearm injury. He’ll turn 40 in a little over a month and it’s possible his career is over.

Moylan gave up six runs in his last two appearances, leaving him with a 9.53 ERA in 5 2/3 innings. Most discouraging was that right-handers hit .474 against him.

Moylan, who underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right rotator cuff in early October but recently ramped up his throwing to three sets of 25 throws from a distance of 90 feet. The side-arming reliever re-upped with the Braves last month on a minor league deal full of incentives and could be a factor in their pen if he shows he’s healthy.

Moylan was non-tendered by the Braves last month after throwing only 8 1/3 total major league innings during the 2011 season. He’s open to returning to Atlanta, but he might find better offers elsewhere. The 33-year-old right-hander has a 2.60 career ERA in 287 relief appearances.

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.

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.

The deal includes an invite to spring training. Moylan was non-tendered by the Braves last month after being limited to just 8 1/3 innings at the major-league level in 2011 and undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right rotator cuff in early October. According to David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the 33-year-old Aussie would make a $1 million prorated salary for time spent in the majors, plus additional incentives.

Moylan is currently working his way back from arthroscopic surgery on his right rotator cuff in October. The 33-year-old was non-tendered by the Braves in December, but signed a minor league deal with the club last month. We’ll know a lot more about his progress once he throws from a mound, but the hope is that he’ll be able to contribute out of the bullpen prior to the All-Star break.
