Matt Moore (TB, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 + team leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Most seasons I am fading Matt Moore, mainly due to his high walk rate (4.28 BB/9) and lingering arm issues.

Alex Cobb To Pitch Through Partial Ligament Tear In Right Elbow

Alex Cobb will continue pitching despite a confirmed partial ligament tear in his right elbow, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
