Dylan Moore Headed For MRI With Core Discomfort

By Anthony Franco | April 21, 2023 at 9:02pm CDT

Mariners utilityman Dylan Moore hasn’t played all season. He suffered a Grade 1 oblique strain during Spring Training, an injury that shut him down from baseball activities for a few weeks. It looked as if he was nearing his return, as he embarked on a rehab assignment with High-A Everett on Tuesday.

Moore only played in one game for the AquaSox, tallying three plate appearances. Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times tweets that Moore experienced some core discomfort coming out of that game. He’ll be returned from his rehab assignment and head to Philadelphia for an MRI.

The right-handed hitter indicated his current soreness isn’t in the oblique area. It’s concerning nevertheless, as Moore had a core injury late last season that necessitated offseason surgery. His upcoming imaging will be with the surgeon who performed that procedure, according to Divish.

Moore signed a three-year extension in February. That was a testament to the value the Seattle front office and coaching staff put on his defensive flexibility, baserunning and right-handed bat. Moore’s offense has been up-and-down throughout his career, but he’s coming off a .224/.368/.385 showing in 255 plate appearances. Consistently high strikeout totals have resulted in a lowly .208 career batting average. Moore draws plenty of walks and has enough power to post roughly league average on-base (.317) and slugging (.384) marks after considering Seattle’s pitcher-friendly park.

The Mariners planned for Moore to platoon with trade acquisition Kolten Wong at second base. The lefty-hitting Wong has taken the bulk of the at-bats, with a handful of plate appearances going to Sam Haggerty and José Caballero. Seattle second basemen enter play Friday with a woeful .088/.171/.103 line over 77 trips, largely because of Wong’s frigid start with his new team. The veteran infielder is hitting .098/.190/.098 over 16 games as a Mariner.

In more fortunate injury news, reliever Andrés Muñoz is set to begin a rehab stint with Triple-A Tacoma next week, tweets the Seattle Times’ Adam Jude. Muñoz hit the injured list on April 8 with a deltoid strain. It seems he’s in line to return not long after a minimal 15-day absence. The flamethrowing right-hander worked 65 innings of 2.49 ERA ball with an elite 38.7% strikeout percentage last season, breaking through as one of the sport’s best late-game weapons.

      It was the minute his shoemaker father told him he would make an excellent cobbler.

    “Stick a fork in him”, as Dave Niehaus used to say, “He’s done.”
    This is just one of those guys whose physique won’t take it.
    I hate to say it, but to me it’s pretty obvious.
    Here’s hoping the Mariners can beat lowly St. Louis tonight!
    It’s not looking too good so far.

      No, Fred. That was a nice clean win. Starting pitching a plus, key hits with men on (Kelenic, Pollock), superb bullpen work. The only thing I have to grouse about is Ty France, what the hell Ty?? Two double plays and a pop up with runners on. He gets into these bad grooves sometimes. But overall a very reassuring win over a tough St Louis lineup.

    How’s Winker doing? I know Toro wasn’t doing anything but still think the Wong trade was a bad move, perhaps a bad move on both sides depending on Winkers output.

      Rumors around town were that Winker wore his welcome out a bit in the clubhouse.

        I’m sure they’re loving Kolten Wong!

        The rumors were he wore out his welcome with the Mariners, not the players in the clubhouse.

          Direct quote from Divish;
          “But then when you come to a blue collar team, a team that overachieves, a team that breaks a drought, a team that does everything they can to prepare, and they’re looking at you and you’re just sitting in the dugout chilling when everyone’s getting ready. That’s the worst part, is when you look your peers in the eyes and you feel no love and no respect.”

      dont forget the defensive implications from this trade… turang has greatly outperformed wong at this point (+3 vs -5 in DRS) so jesse winker’s .349 obp vs. wong’s .190 makes this trade a no brainer win for the brewers at THIS point… but more importantly, the emergence of turang made wong expendable, and whereas i would love a little more production from the players involved, i don’t hate what we got back. long story short, i like the brewers odds to win this trade by seasons end

        Wink looks good at the plate so far and Wong is completely lost. Toro did not even make the team. It’s also April 20 something, for all we know Wong could end up having a career year. Never rush to evaluate a trade. Shoot, it takes years to truly evaluate trades.

          Winker has looked okay at the plate so far, but I feel like “good” is a stretch. He has a 94 wRC+ and his BB rate has halved to this point. It’s early obviously, but his performance has netted him a -0.1 fWAR.
