Can't find plate in no-decision Moore didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 5-3 win over the Mets, giving up two runs on four hits and four walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out four.

Impact The veteran southpaw's first start back in MLB after spending last season in Japan was right in line with his career results, as Moore threw only 47 of 74 pitches for strikes and put plenty of traffic on the bases. He was in line for the loss before the Phillies erupted for five runs in the eighth inning, but Moore will look to give his new team a more efficient outing during his next scheduled start Sunday in Atlanta.

Claims back-end rotation spot Manager Joe Girardi announced that Moore will start the Phillies' fourth game of the season Monday against the Mets, Pat Gallen of CBS 3 Philadelphia reports.

Impact Moore and fellow newcomer Chase Anderson were awarded the final two spots in the rotation over Vince Velasquez, who will head to the bullpen. Philadelphia brought Moore in a one-year, $3 million deal this winter after the 31-year-old southpaw appeared to get his career back on track in Japan last season with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks. Though he only made 13 starts while missing time due to injury, Moore whiffed 27.8 percent of the batters he faced to go with a 2.65 ERA. He wasn't quite as dominant this spring for the Phillies, though he struck out nearly a batter per inning and submitted a tidy 1.15 WHIP. Before he made the jump to Japan, Moore's track record in the majors from 2015 through 2019 wasn't overly impressive, so he's best viewed as a streamer or back-end roster option in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues to begin the season.

MARCH 16, 2021 • MCALL.COM

Making case for rotation spot Moore allowed just one run on one hit Sunday against the Pirates, picking up the win while striking out three and walking none over four innings.

Impact The major-league deal Moore signed in January seems to imply the Phillies view him as a rotation favorite, though he's earning a relatively low $3 million, which doesn't give him a ton of job security. The job is likely Moore's until he pitches his way out of it, and he certainly hasn't done that so far this spring, allowing just a single run on three hits and a walk in eight innings of work. He's not a particularly interesting fantasy option given his mediocre strikeout numbers and hitter-friendly home park, but in leagues deep enough where every starter with a job has value he should at least clear that bar. Spencer Howard remains an interesting prospect despite his shaky debut and could move ahead of Moore or fellow veteran Chase Anderson at some point this season, but he may open in the bullpen or minors to manage his innings.
