ST. PETERSBURG — LHP Matt Moore (Tommy John surgery) is scheduled to make his final minor-league rehab start tonight for Durham at Columbus.
Moore, who has made four rehab starts, is expected to return to the Rays’ rotation Wednesday against the visiting Indians.
Moore, who threw 92 pitches for the Bulls in his previous outing and is expected to be on the same pitch count tonight, felt he was ready to rejoin the Rays tonight.
“We know Matt wants to pitch. He wants to pitch today, and that’s a good thing,” Cash said Wednesday. “But I think the way we handle most if not all of our rehab guys, when they deem themselves ready, let’s go give them one more.
