The Braves will not tender a contract to RHP Peter Moylan.

Moylan, who turns 34 next week, returned from shoulder surgery this season and allowed one earned run over five innings as a September call-up. While the Braves didn't want to tender him a contract at this time, it's still possible they could bring him back.

Braves purchased the contract of RHP Peter Moylan from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Moylan underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right rotator cuff in October and spent the entire year in the minors. Non-tendered this offseason, he'll make a $1 million prorated salary for time spent in the majors.

Peter Moylan (shoulder) has been promoted to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Moylan, who is currently working his way back from shoulder surgery, has a 7.20 ERA and 8/3 K/BB ratio over 10 innings in nine appearances between the Gulf Coast League Braves, Class A Rome and Double-A Mississippi. He could join the Braves' bullpen down the stretch.

Peter Moylan (shoulder) will continue his minor league rehab assignment with Class A Rome.

Moylan allowed four runs over 4 2/3 innings in the Gulf Coast League, though he was unscored upon in three out of his four appearances. He'll likely need most of July to rehab from shoulder surgery, but should rejoin the Braves' bullpen later this summer.

Peter Moylan (shoulder) tossed a scoreless inning in his first rehab game for the Gulf Coast League Braves Saturday.

Moylan needed only seven pitches to get through the frame, getting a strikeout and a pair of groundouts. He topped out at 89-90 mph. Coming back from shoulder surgery, the right-hander isn't expected back until August.

Peter Moylan will throw a bullpen session next Tuesday for the first time since shoulder surgery in October.

Moylan has been limited to long-tossing until now, but reports that his shoulder feels "amazing." There's no specific timetable for his return.

Though no firm timetable has been set, Peter Moylan (shoulder) indicated to David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sunday that a return sometime after mid-May would be reasonable.

Moylan, who underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right rotator cuff in early October but recently ramped up his throwing to three sets of 25 throws from a distance of 90 feet. The side-arming reliever re-upped with the Braves last month on a minor league deal full of incentives and could be a factor in their pen if he shows he's healthy.

Peter Moylan (shoulder) said Thursday that he has been playing catch from 60 feet twice a week.

Moylan is currently working his way back from arthroscopic surgery on his right rotator cuff in October. The 33-year-old was non-tendered by the Braves in December, but signed a minor league deal with the club last month. We'll know a lot more about his progress once he throws from a mound, but the hope is that he'll be able to contribute out of the bullpen prior to the All-Star break.

Braves signed RHP Peter Moylan to a minor league contract.

According to David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the 33-year-old Aussie would make a $1 million prorated salary for time spent in the majors, plus additional incentives.

Peter Moylan has drawn interest from "a few teams," reports Dave O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Moylan was non-tendered by the Braves last month after throwing only 8 1/3 total major league innings during the 2011 season. He's open to returning to Atlanta, but he might find better offers elsewhere. The 33-year-old right-hander has a 2.60 career ERA in 287 relief appearances.

Braves non-tendered RHP Peter Moylan.

The decision was made late Monday night. Moylan underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right rotator cuff in early October and might not be ready by Opening Day. That could limit the Australian right-hander's suitors.

Peter Moylan is a non-tender candidate.

Mon, Dec 12, 2011 09:37:00 AM

Braves placed RHP Peter Moylan on the 60-day disabled list with a torn right rotator cuff.

Moylan will undergo arthroscopic surgery next week to repair his torn right rotator cuff. The Braves are likely to non-tender the right-hander this offseason.
Wed, Sep 28, 2011 05:29:00 PM

Peter Moylan will undergo arthroscopic surgery Monday to repair a torn right rotator cuff.

He's expected to need six months of recovery time, so Moyan is hoping to be ready at some point during spring training. "They’ve got to clean up the labrum and the cuff, and it should be about six months," Moylan said. "As soon as you hear shoulder, the first thing I thought was every other guy who’s ever had to have a shoulder completely repaired has been out for 12 to 18 months. I was fearing the worst." The Braves are expected to non-tender Moylan this winter but could bring him back at a lesser salary than what he would earn through arbitration.
