Matt Moore Stats

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Matt Moore picked up his third save of the season in Monday's 2-1 win over the Twins. Moore turned in a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth inning with a strikeout to end the game. The veteran has pitched well out of the bullpen this season and now has a 2.05 ERA over 57 innings pitched. The Rangers have employed a number of arms in save situations this season and may not see a ton of them down the stretch, but Moore has now seen two in the last seven games. As such, he may be worth a look in deep roto leagues at this time for fantasy managers trying to catch up in saves.

Texas Rangers reliever Matt Moore closed out the team's 2-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday to earn his second save of the season. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and no walks. The team's primary closer right now, Brett Martin, pitched on both Tuesday and Wednesday so he was likely unavailable for Thursday's contest. Martin has struggled a bit lately, allowing a total of five earned runs across his last three outings. Moore, meanwhile, has pitched to a minuscule 0.75 ERA across the month of July. One more rough outing from Martin could lead to a change in the ninth inning for Texas, but for now Martin should still be considered the top arm to roster for fantasy purposes.

The Philadelphia Phillies placed pitcher Matt Moore (back) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. The team called up fellow pitcher Cristopher Sanchez from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Moore is dealing with a lower back strain. The move to the injured list is retroactive to September 20. The 32-year-old southpaw has been in and out of the starting rotation this year. He's made 24 total appearances (13 starts) and he has a 6.29 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP. He'll be eligible to return during the team's final series of the year against the Miami Marlins, but there's a solid chance we've seen the last of him this season.
