Gabriel Moreno - Works with new pitcher Moreno started at catcher and went hitless in his lone plate appearance in Friday's spring opener against Colorado.

Burnes, who struck out the side, told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports that he left the pitch calling/sequencing up to Moreno.

Alek Thomas - Logs hit in spring opener Thomas started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's spring game against Colorado.

Impact Thomas singled and scored as part of a three-run third inning. He's competing for an outfield job with Jake McCarthy, who started in right field Friday. Thomas is the better defender, but the winner of the battle likely hinges on his contact this spring. He smoked the single (106.4 mph) while the outs made were harmless groundball outs without much exit velocity.
