In his first two full seasons, 2012-13, Moore went 28-15 with a 3.57 ERA. He then had a 2.70 ERA after two starts in 2014, but underwent Tommy John surgery after just 10 innings pitched.
Coming back from injury, Moore only pitched in 12 games last season, going 3-4 with a 5.43 ERA.

Moore is signed through the rest of this season on a five-year, $14 million deal with team options for 2017-19.
