Seattle Mariners shortstop Dylan Moore is not in Friday's lineup for the Mariners' clash against the Toronto Blue Jays. This appears to be a platoon matchup decision as Luke Raley will be playing in right field alongside Randy Arozarena and Julio Rodriguez. Moore has fared far worse against righties this season (.604 OPS) compared to lefties (1.553 OPS) while Raley succeeds far more against righties. Fantasy managers shouldn't stress much about a platoon situation, though, as Moore still has been getting starts against right-handers intermittently. The 32-year-old may not be in the lineup tomorrow against Jose Berrios but he should certainly be in the lineup Sunday against southpaw Easton Lucas.
Dylan Moore Homers Twice, Drives In Four On Tuesday
Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore turned in a big game in an 8-4 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. Moore went 3-for-5 with two homers and four RBI in the loss to Cincinnati. The veteran infielder provided all the offense for the Mariners, leading off the game with a homer against Reds starter Nick Lodolo and then blasting a two-run shot off Lodolo in the fifth. Moore is off to a good start in 2025, hitting .306 with four homers, eight runs, six RBI, and two steals across 36 at-bats. He is worth starting in deeper fantasy leagues while he's swinging a hot bat.
Seattle Mariners infielder/outfielder Dylan Moore is starting at third base and is hitting leadoff on Tuesday against the division-rival Houston Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez at T-Mobile Park. It's notable with outfielder Victor Robles (shoulder) on the injured list with a serious shoulder injury that could keep him out for the majority of the season. The 32-year-old Moore will see a boost in fantasy value in deeper leagues if he gets a long look in the leadoff spot for Seattle moving forward, especially after his hot start to 2025. He's currently slashing .381/.480/.667 with a 1.147 OPS, two home runs, two RBI, two stolen bases and five runs scored in his first nine games played. Moore is especially useful in fantasy for his speed (career-high 32 swipes in 2023) and his multi-position eligibility. He's hit .192 in 26 career at-bats versus Valdez, but he does have one homer and three RBI.
Seattle Mariners third baseman Dylan Moore turned in a solid game in a 3-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. Moore went 1-for-1 with a homer, two runs, two walks, and a steal in the close win over Detroit. The veteran launched his first homer of the season off 2024 Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal in the fourth inning in what would be the Mariners' final run of the game. Moore is off to a fast start in 2025, picking up three hits and three walks across five contests for a .375 batting average. This was Moore's first steal of the season after he swiped 32 bags for the Mariners last year. He will look to stay hot going forward.
Seattle Mariners infielder Dylan Moore (illness) wasn't in the Opening Day lineup on Thursday due to an illness but will return on Friday to play second base and bat eighth against the division-rival Athletics and left-hander Jeffrey Springs at T-Mobile Park. Moore is a super-utility man for the Mariners who stole a career-high 32 bases in a career-high 135 games in 2024 in his sixth year with the team. However, he's barely hit above the Mendoza Line the last two seasons and is primarily attractive to Seattle because of his defensive versatility in both the infield and outfield. For fantasy managers in AL-only leagues, Moore is useful for his speed and the fact that he's eligible at shortstop, second base, third base and the outfield. He's a poor DFS play Friday evening and has one hit in just two career at-bats versus Springs.
Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore (illness) was scratched from the team's Sunday Cactus League outing against the Milwaukee Brewers with flu-like symptoms. Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reported the news. Per Divish, the cold/flu bug is still going around the clubhouse, with Moore the latest to be hit. The 32-year-old is batting a paltry .136 this spring (6-for-44) with one homer, two RBIs, and three steals. Moore notched a career-high 32 steals a season ago. Still, he doesn't project to be a strong source of average or power, as he's yet to eclipse a .224 batting average since 2022. Fantasy managers can safely avoid him in drafts despite his positional versatility.
Seattle Mariners utilityman Dylan Moore continued his solid month of May in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Yankees. Moore went 3-for-4 with a single, a solo home run, a two-run HR, and four RBI. Known mostly for his multi-position eligibility and speed, the 31-year-old has proven himself to be even more versatile in May, batting .293 with five HR and a stolen base. He bats in the bottom of the Mariners lineup but is rostered in just five percent of leagues and can slot into several positions, making him worth a look in deeper roto leagues for fantasy managers in search of a hot bat.
Seattle Mariners shortstop Dylan Moore went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and five RBI in Friday's 8-1 win over the Athletics. It was a bright spot in an otherwise rough season so far for Moore. Through Monday's game, the 31-year-old was hitting .192 with two home runs and six RBI, but over his last three games while filling in for the injured J.P. Crawford at shortstop, the right-handed hitter is 5-for-11 (.455) with one home run and six RBI. Hopefully he can keep it up over the next week or so until Crawford returns. Moore will get RHP Joey Estes (7.20 ERA, 1.40 WHIP in two career starts) and LHP Alex Wood (5.30 ERA, 1.74 WHIP) this weekend against the A's.
Seattle Mariners utilityman Dylan Moore pinch-hit and went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Thursday's loss versus the Boston Red Sox. Moore came on for Dominic Canzone in the bottom of the seventh inning to make the game within one run, but it would not be enough. Moore, 31, can play all over the field, but doesn't have an everyday role. 2023 was his first year in the big leagues that he didn't eclipse 10+ stolen bases and without those, his value is even more minimal. Despite the nice performance, he doesn't carry enough opportunity or offer enough outside of position versatility to be rostered in even the deepest of leagues.
Josh Rojas, Dylan Moore Expected To Platoon At Third Base
Seattle Mariners infielders Josh Rojas and Dylan Moore, who had been projected to split time at second base in 2024, will now likely shift their platoon to third base following a trade that sent Jorge Polanco to Seattle. More than two-thirds of Polanco's appearances last season came at second base, so he'll get first dibs on the keystone with the Mariners. That moves Rojas and Moore to the hot corner and presumably demotes Luis Urias, who was originally penciled into third base after being traded by the Red Sox. All in all, the Mariners would be wise to find playing time for Rojas and Moore, both of whom are above-average defenders.
