Mariners athletic trainers said Moore will be shut down from baseball activities for 2-4 weeks which obviously rules him out for Opening Day. Moore was originally set for Opening Day following abdomen surgery but obviously this ailment changes all of that. Moore hit .224 with six homers, 21 stolen bases, and an excellent 126 wRC+ in 2022, bolstered by a hefty 13.3% BB%. He also appeared at every position save for pitcher and catcher in the 2022 campaign.

Dylan Moore, coming off core-muscle surgery, will be slow-played this spring, but he's expected to be ready for Opening Day.

Fantasy Impact

Moore is expected to be a utility player for the Mariners this season as he has been in previous years. His fantasy upside is limited, but he'll continue to be a very valuable player for the Mariners.

Seattle Mariners utilityman Dylan Moore has suffered a setback in his recovery from offseason core surgery.

In touching on several Mariners injury updates, general manager Jerry Dipito told the media Moore could be somewhat limited early in spring training workouts but did not want to create a concern regarding Opening Day. Moore hit six homers with 21 stolen bases and a .753 OPS across 104 games in 2022 and could see playing time at every non-pitching position save for catcher and perhaps center field for the Mariners in 2023.

Dylan Moore has agreed to a three-year, $8.875 million extension with the Seattle Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

Moore will avoid arbitration and ensure his role in Seattle for the next three years. It's unclear if he has a spot in the opening-day lineup, but he should get a healthy amount of playing time after playing every infield and outfield position last season. He slashes .224/.368/.385 with a 126 wRC+ in 2022.

Jerry Dipoto confirmed that Dylan Moore will undergo surgery for a core injury that has nagged him since the end of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Moore is reportedly in Philadelphia at the Vincera Institute to undergo the procedure in the coming days. It's a six-to-eight week recovery. Dipoto, who found out just recently about the need for surgery, said he wasn't overly concerned based on the information provided. Moore is expected to be at full strength for the start of spring training. He is currently expected to be a utility player for the Mariners next season, potentially platooning a bit with recently acquired Kolten Wong at second base.
