Unable to play in the upcoming season, Jamie Moyer, the oldest active player in the MLB, will join ESPN's "Baseball Tonight" as an analyst during the 2011 season as he attempts a comeback for 2012.
Moyer, 48, played with the Philadelphia Phillies last season, but missed the second half of the season with a strained UCL in his left elbow. For the season, Moyer went 9-9 with a 4.84 ERA.
Moyer re-injured his elbow last Nov. while pitching in the Dominican League. In December, Moyer underwent Tommy John surgery.
The Phillies quickly replaced Moyer, whose contract expired at the end of the season. Philadelphia acquired Roy Oswalt from the Houston Astros at the trade deadline and signed Cliff Lee this offseason.
Moyer has a career record of 267-204 with a 4.24 ERA . Last season, Moyer became only the third pitcher in MLB history to win 100 games after turning 40.
Moyer will make his debut with "Baseball Tomight" on Thursday, the opening day for the MLB.
