It’s not the news Tigers fans wanted to hear, but following a successful meniscus surgery on his right knee, pitcher Matt Moore will be out for the remainder of the 2019 season.
Prior to his surgery there was some optimism that Moore would return quickly, given that some similar surgeries can have a turnaround time of a mere six weeks, but doctors had cautioned that they wouldn’t be able to assess the extend of the damage on Moore’s knee until they had him under the knife. Evidently, the damage must have been more considerable than hoped, and while the procedure was a success, he will not be taking to the mound again this year.
