The Yankees announced this afternoon that right-hander has cleared waivers and been a signed outright to Triple-A Scranton. Moore, 25, was a 24th-round pick by the White Sox in the 2019 draft but made his big league debut as a member of the Phillies last year after coming to Philadelphia as part of the return for outfielder back in 2022. The righty struggled badly in his first taste of big league action and was lit up for seven runs on five hits, five walks, and two hit batsmen against just two strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings of work. Those three relief appearances are Moores only big league action to this point Lars Eller Jersey in his career. The right-hander was retained by the Phillies on the 40-man roster throughout the offseason but was designated for a signment early in Spring Training to make room for the addition of to the clubs roster. The Yankees took the opportunity to claim him off waivers and bring him into the organization, though he has continued to struggle since jumping organizations. In just 2/3 of an inning of work for Scranton this year, Moore has allowed two runs while walking six and hitting a batter while recording just one strikeout. Despite Moores obvious control struggles, the right-hander has flashed enticing stuff including an upper-90s fastball during his limited big league action. The 66 power arm could be an impactful relief arm for a club if he can find a way to rein in his control, and now the Yankees will get the opportunity to work with the 25-year-old throughout the year without dedicating a 40-man roster spot to him. While its not impo sible to imagine Moore pitching for the big league club at some point this year, with non-roster veterans such as and currently available to the Yankees in the minor leagues it seems more likely that Moore will have to iron out his control i sues to get another shot at the major league level.
