whether left-hander Matt Moore will need surgery on his ailing left elbow after
he was examined by orthopedic surgeon James Andrews. Rays manager Joe Maddon
said after a 7-3 loss to the Royals that the team was still awaiting results
from another series of tests. Moore was getting a second opinion from Andrews
after an MRI exam performed in Kansas City proved to be inconclusive. Maddon did
say that it appears the ligaments in Moores elbow were not fully torn. If that
was the case, season-ending surgery would be a foregone conclusion. "There is no
surgery tomorrow. Thats not planned. I can tell you that," Maddon said. "We need
to get all the facts and see how we want to proceed with this, see if surgery is
necessary or if its not necessary. Were still waiting to find out." Moore was
placed on the disabled list Tuesday, one day after feeling discomfort in his
elbow during a loss to the Royals. Moore conceded at tthe time that surgery "is
a possibility. Authentic Bobby Ryan Jersey. ." Moore was dynamic for the Rays last season, going 17-4 with a 3.29 ERA, even though he was
on the disabled list from July 31 to Sept. 3 because of soreness in his elbow.
"I would say its quite a bit different in how it feels, in how it dangles, with
regards to soreness," Moore said before Tuesday nights game. "The discomfort is
similar. The severity has jumped from what I was feeling. Its frustrating." Many
pitchers have been able to play several seasons with a partially torn ligament,
though they often end up undergoing Tommy John surgery eventually. "We are
waiting with baited breath," Rays general manager Andrew Friedman said. The Rays
recalled left-hander Jeff Beliveau from Triple-A Durham to fill Moores roster
spot Tuesday. He appeared in Wednesdays game and was sent back to Durham
afterward. Tampa Bay will make another roster move before a weekend series in
Cincinnati. Cheap Jerseys From China ' ' '
