ST. PETERSBURG — Matt Moore will drive to Tropicana Field this morning and join teammates Chris Archer and Jake Odorizzi in the right-field bullpen as the trio takes another step toward building arm strength in advance of spring training.
The plan is for those in the Rays’ pitching rotation to throw off the mound on Mondays and Fridays this month as part of their offseason throwing program.
For Moore, the twice-weekly mound work is a welcome switch from last February, when he was in the middle of his rehab program from Tommy John reconstructive surgery on his left elbow.
