Due to a torn groin, Moore is out for the rest of the season. He is currently in Arizona rehabbing that injury and is expected to return in time for spring training next season.

In five major league games this season, Moore hit 3-for-10 with a double. He also appeared in 41 games for Triple-A Omaha, hitting .191 with 8 HR and 23 RBI.

Moore, a sixth round pick of the Mariners in the 2006 draft, has seen major league time in parts of five seasons with the Mariners (2009-2011) and Royals (2012-2013). In 77 career games, he has hit .200 with 6 HR and 19 RBI in 271 plate appearances.

Moore will likely head to spring training next year to provide minor league depth for the Royals behind catchers Salvador Perez and George Kottaras.
