Mariners' Dylan Moore: Undergoing MRI on core muscle

Moore (oblique) told reporters that his surgically repaired core muscle wasn't feeling right on his rehab assignment and that he's flying to Philadelphia to meet with his surgeon and undergo another MRI, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Moore clarified that the issue wasn't with the oblique strain that has sidelined him for the first three-plus weeks of the 2023 season, but the core muscle area he underwent offseason surgery on. The infielder is expected to be a regular against left-handed pitching once he returns to the lineup -- mostly at second base -- but it's now unlikely he returns for the Mariners during their upcoming road trip as initially expected.
