The Philadelphia Phillies will start Zach Eflin on Thursday for the first time since July 16. Left-hander Matt Moore will move from the starting rotation to the bullpen.
Moore was signed during the offseason to provide starting pitching depth at the back end of the Phillies’ rotation. The 32-year-old journeyman made an All-Star appearance with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2013 and bounced around the big leagues in the years following.
He spent 2020 pitching in Japan.
The signing has not gone as planned.
