Tyler Moore wasn’t sure he would ever get another chance.
Moore, a 30-year-old former backup first baseman/left fielder for the Washington Nationals, sustained a knee injury at the end of the 2015 season and hasn’t played in the majors since.
But if things turn out as expected, Moore should find himself back at Nationals Park on Monday — in a Marlins uniform.
The Marlins aren’t planning to formally announce their Opening Day roster until Sunday.
But with Martin Prado starting the season on the disabled list with a hamstring strain, all signs point to Moore earning a spot on the team’s projected four-man bench.
