Lands on injured list The Pirates placed Moreta on the 15-day injured list Friday with lower back soreness, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Impact After giving up three runs on three hits and two walks over one inning Thursday against Milwaukee, Moreta will be sidelined for at least two weeks. The 27-year-old righty holds a 4.10 ERA and 1.20 WHIP on the season and figures to return when eligible in late August.

Three strikeouts in clean outing Moreta allowed zero hits and zero walks while striking out three over 1.1 scoreless innings Friday against the Angels.

Impact Following a rough June that saw him allow 10 runs over 10 innings, Moreta has allowed only one run with a 0.72 WHIP and 13 strikeouts through 8.1 July innings. While currently holding a middle-relief role in Pittsburgh, continued impactful outings could lead to a rise in role if the Pirates trade away closer David Bednar and/or setup man Colin Holderman continues to struggle.

Takes first loss Moreta (1-1) took the loss Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He allowed an unearned run on a hit while striking out one over one-third of an inning.

Impact Moreta replaced Roansy Contreras to start the sixth inning, striking out Corbin Carroll before Christian Walker reached on a Ke'Bryan Hayes throwing error. Walker would score on Lourdes Gurriel's base hit, giving Arizona a 4-3 lead and eventually handing Moreta his first loss. Overall, the 27-year-old Moreta has been excellent for Pittsburgh. He still hasn't allowed an earned run since April 26, a span of 10.2 innings. He sports a 2.14 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB across 21 innings this season.

Gets save against Cardinals Moreta picked up the save in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Cardinals in 10 innings while allowing no runs or hits with a walk and a strikeout.

Impact Moreta was tasked with getting the save after David Bednar worked the ninth against the Cardinals, and he got the job done. It's the first save of the season for the 26-year-old, and as long as Bednar is part of the roster it's unlikely he'll see many more chances for the club.

Optioned to Triple-A Moreta was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

Impact Moreta was called up by the Reds last week and allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six in 4.2 innings over three appearances during his time in the majors.

Sent down Thursday Moreta was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.

Back from COVID-19 IL The Reds reinstated Moreta (illness) from the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ryan Hendrix, who was summoned from the minors as a replacement player when Moreta went on the IL last weekend, was returned to Triple-A Louisville to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster. Before he hit the shelf after apparently testing positive for the virus, Moreta had compiled a 7.09 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 26.2 innings out of the Cincinnati bullpen this season.

JULY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies first career save Moreta allowed a hit but tallied the final two outs of the 10th inning without allowing a run to earn the save Thursday against the Yankees.

Impact Moreta has struggled mightily out of the Cincinnati bullpen this season, maintaining a 7.36 ERA and 29:9 K:BB across 25.2 frames. However, he earned his first career save Thursday after Hunter Strickland pitched with the game tied and Alexis Diaz unavailable after appearing in three of the team's last four games. Given his lack of success this season, it's difficult to envision Moreta picking up additional save chances..

JULY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to big leagues The Reds recalled Moreta from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Impact Outfielder TJ Friedl was optioned to Louisville to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Moreta. The 26-year-old right-hander was able to secure a spot on the Reds' Opening Day roster, but he labored across 15 appearances before being sent to Louisville on May 12.

JUNE 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Moreta earned a spot on Cincinnati's Opening Day roster but has struggled through 15 appearances, and he's now been demoted after surrendering five runs without recording an out Wednesday. He'll head to Louisville, where he had a 0.68 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB over 26.1 innings last year.

Struggles as opener Moreta (0-1) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates, allowing two runs on two hits in one-third of an inning. He struck out one batter.

Impact Manager David Bell decided to go with a bullpen game in the nightcap after Nick Lodolo was scratched due to a back injury. Moreta gave up a homer to Bryan Reynolds, so he has now allowed a total of four runs in his last two appearances. It was Moreta's first career start Saturday, and it was a failed experiment.

MAY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as opener in nightcap Moreta will serve as the opener in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Robert Dugger was initially listed as the starter for Saturday's nightcap, but the Reds will instead elect to use Moreta as an opener. Over his first 12 relief appearances this season, Moreta has posted a 5.11 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 12.1 innings.

MAY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mixed returns Moreta allowed a run on one hit, a double, in Thursday's loss to the Padres. He has allowed runs in back-to-back days, raising his ERA to 4.50 despite carrying a 0.90 WHIP.

Impact Moreta has hardly been the worst reliever for the Reds, but he's allowed two homers and a double among his five hits allowed. On the bright side, he has 11 strikeouts in 10 innings pitched.

Impact The Reds made a handful of roster moves this week and Moreta remains as part of the bullpen mix in the wake of those moves. 2021 was a breakout campaign for the right-hander, as he compiled a whopping 59:9 K:BB over 54 innings between Double-A and Triple-A. He made his MLB debut late last season and allowed one run on two hits with four strikeouts and a walk across 3.2 frames.
