The Red Sox released Moore (arm) on Thursday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Moore has been on the injured list at Triple-A Worcester all season due to arm soreness, but he'll now be sent to the open market before he gets a chance to take the mound in 2025. It's unclear how far Moore is from fully recovering from his arm injury, but he'll likely seek out a minor-league deal with another club once he's healthy.

Red Sox's Matt Moore: On minor-league IL with sore arm
Rotowire
Moore has been placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester due to left arm soreness, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
It's not clear at this point how long Moore might be sidelined. The veteran left-hander was in Red Sox camp as a non-roster invitee but failed to make the Opening Day roster, and he won't be an option for the big club for a while.

Red Sox's Matt Moore: Not opting out
Rotowire
Moore has decided not to opt out of his contract and will begin the campaign at Triple-A Worcester, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
As a veteran on a minor-league contract with over six years of service time, Moore had the option to opt out of his deal and look for an opportunity elsewhere. However, the lefty reliever appears set to accept a spot on Boston's Triple-A roster to begin the 2025 campaign. Moore suffered a forearm injury last August that ended a rough campaign with the Angels during which he posted a 5.03 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 48.1 innings. Moore didn't allow an earned run and posted a 2:2 K:BB over three innings this spring, and he'll be an option for a call-up when the Red Sox need reinforcements in their bullpen.

Red Sox's Matt Moore: Goes to Boston as NRI
Rotowire
The Red Sox signed Moore to a minor-league contract Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
The Red Sox were looking for some left-handed relief depth with Zach Penrod going down with an elbow injury. Moore is coming back from an injury of his own, having missed the final month of last season with a left forearm strain. However, the southpaw has been throwing this offseason without any apparent issues, per Bradford. Moore held a 5.03 ERA and 41:26 over 48.1 frames with the Angels in 2024, but he was very effective from 2022 to 2023 with a 2.20 ERA and 27.4 percent strikeout rate. If heathy, the 35-year-old should have a good shot to make Boston's Opening Day roster.

Angels' Matt Moore: Moved to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Angels transferred Moore (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Eric Wagaman. Moore's season is now officially over due to a left forearm strain which has kept him out since late August.

Angels' Matt Moore: Not yet throwing
Rotowire
Moore (forearm) hadn't yet resumed throwing as of Wednesday, per MLB.com.
Moore has been on the injured list since Aug. 27 due to a left forearm strain. The southpaw said this week that he hopes to return to game action before the end of the campaign but also indicated that he doesn't plan to take any risks that could impact his long-term availability. Given that the Angels are well out of playoff contention, it seems likely that they will be conservative in determining when (or if) he will return to game action this season.

Angels' Matt Moore: Goes on IL with forearm injury
Rotowire
The Angels placed Moore on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left forearm strain.
Moore had to be lifted from an appearance Sunday versus the Blue Jays due to the injury. He will be sidelined for at least the next two weeks and potentially longer. Ryan Miller is taking Moore's spot on the Angels' roster.

Angels' Matt Moore: Dealing with elbow issue
Rotowire
Moore was removed from Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays due to an elbow injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
The veteran left-hander recorded just one out and allowed two runs on a hit and a walk before exiting Sunday's contest due to the injury. The specifics of the elbow issue are unclear, and Moore will be evaluated further when the Angels arrive in Detroit ahead of Tuesday's series opener.

Angels' Matt Moore: Picks up save
Rotowire
Moore pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Padres.
Moore was called on for ninth-inning duties since Carlos Estevez had pitched both Monday and Tuesday. The save was Moore's first of the season, and he hadn't even picked up a hold in any of his last nine appearances after taking a blown save May 13 versus the Cardinals. The southpaw has a 5.32 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB over 23.2 innings this season, adding eight holds and a 2-2 record. Moore's poor ratios make him a less-than-ideal candidate for ancillary saves, especially as long as he's playing an Angels club that is 24-38 on the year.

Angels' Matt Moore: Back with Halos
Rotowire
Moore signed a one-year, $9 million contract with the Angels on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Moore spent time with the Angels last season, logging a 2.66 ERA and 1.02 WHIP alongside a 49:12 K:BB across 44 innings before being waived in late August. After brief stints with the Guardians and Marlins to close the season, Moore will return to Anaheim to give the Angels a reliever capable of handling high-leverage situations.

Marlins' Matt Moore: DFA'd by Miami
Rotowire
Moore was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
The veteran left-hander wasn't eligible to pitch for Miami in the playoffs since he was acquired in mid-September, so the organization opted to move on. Moore delivered four scoreless appearances during his brief time with the Marlins and finishes 2023 with a 2.56 ERA across 52.2 innings overall.

Marlins' Matt Moore: Claimed by Miami
Rotowire
Miami claimed Moore off waivers from the Guardians on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Moore will not be eligible for the playoffs given where this move falls on the season calendar, but he can give the Marlins' bullpen a boost over what remains of the regular season as they try to nail down a National League wild-card spot. The veteran left-hander has registered a strong 2.77 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 57:14 K:BB in 48.2 innings of relief this year between Anaheim and Cleveland.

Guardians' Matt Moore: Lands with Guardians
Rotowire
Moore was claimed off waivers by the Guardians on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
The Guardians were busy Thursday, adding Moore and Reynaldo Lopez to their bullpen and Lucas Giolito to their rotation via the waiver process. Moore has had an excellent season, putting up a 2.66 ERA and 49:12 K:BB over 44 frames as a setup man for the Halos. He'll give Cleveland a left-handed bridge to closer Emmanuel Clase.

Angels' Matt Moore: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
The Angels placed Moore on waivers Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, Hunter Renfroe and Randal Grichuk have also been made available to other teams as the Angels throw in the towel on the 2023 season and look to gain some salary relief. Moore, 34, carries a 2.30 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 47:12 K:BB through 43 innings this year and should be of interest as a bullpen addition for just about any contending club.

Angels' Matt Moore: Grabs 20th hold
Rotowire
Moore earned a hold against the Mets on Friday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.
Moore had a rare blow-up his previous time on the mound, giving up three runs in one inning against Cincinnati. He was back in form Friday, escaping with a scoreless frame despite seeing the first two batters he faced reach base via a double and an error. Moore has held the opponent scoreless in 13 of his last 14 appearances, notching eight holds while posting a 1.93 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB over 14 innings during that span. The southpaw leads the Angels with 20 holds on the campaign.

Angels' Matt Moore: Continues impressive campaign
Rotowire
Moore earned a hold against the Giants on Wednesday, issuing one walk and striking out one batter in a hitless and scoreless inning.
Moore worked as the eighth-inning bridge to closer Carlos Estevez, and he navigated around a one-out walk to keep San Francisco off the scoreboard. The lefty reliever missed nearly eight weeks of action between mid-May and mid-July due to an oblique injury, but, remarkably, he still leads the Angels -- and is tied for ninth in the AL -- with 17 holds. Moore's outstanding stat line includes a 1.70 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB over 37 innings.

Angels' Matt Moore: Should be ready to go after break
Rotowire
Moore (oblique) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is expected to be ready to return to the Angels following the All-Star break, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Moore was temporarily shut down from throwing after experiencing some soreness following a simulated game June 24. However, the southpaw was able to get back on the mound Tuesday and is slated to throw another bullpen this weekend. If he does so without any setbacks, Moore appears in line to be activated for the Angels' first game back from the All-Star break July 14.

Angels' Matt Moore: Managing some soreness
Rotowire
Moore (oblique) is dealing with some soreness after he threw a simulated game Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Manager Phil Nevin indicated the soreness isn't believed to be a setback, though it's certainly not an encouraging sign with the lefty closing in on his return from the injured list. Moore isn't throwing Sunday and will be re-evaluated Monday before the next steps in his rehab are determined.

Angels' Matt Moore: Won't be activated Monday
Rotowire
Moore (oblique) told reporters Saturday that he won't be activated off the injured list Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Moore threw a bullpen before Saturday's game against the Rockies, and he told reporters it went "OK" but not well enough to come off the 15-day IL come Monday. The left-hander said he needs at least one more session, and when that will come will be determined by how he feels Sunday. Once active, Moore should again be a high-leverage option for the Angels bullpen.
