Moves to IL with oblique strain The Diamondbacks placed Moreno on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to April 11, due to a left oblique strain.

Impact Manager Torey Lovullo previously indicated that Moreno would be placed on the injured list after exiting early Friday versus the Phillies, but the diagnosis of an oblique strain is a significant development after he was initially said to be dealing with lower-back tightness. The 26-year-old is without an official timeline for his return but will be eligible to be reinstated April 21, though a longer absence seems likely given the nature of the injury. Aramis Garcia was called up to provide some more catching depth, but it'll likely be James McCann and Adrian Del Castillo that see more consistent work behind the plate for Arizona.

IL stint coming Manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that Moreno (back) will be placed on the injured list, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Diamondbacks sent Moreno in for an MRI on his back Saturday, and although the results of his tests are unknown, the team has already decided to send the 26-year-old to the IL. However, Lovullo added that Moreno isn't facing an extended absence, so he could return to the active roster after the minimum 10 days. James McCann figures to take over as Arizona's primary backstop while Moreno is sidelined.

Sitting out Saturday Moreno (back) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Exits early Friday Moreno was removed from Friday's game against the Phillies with an apparent injury, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact It's unclear why Moreno was taken out of the game in the third inning, but the Diamondbacks should provide more information after they take a closer look at him. James McCann replaced the 26-year-old behind the dish and would be in line to start at catcher if Moreno is forced to miss time.

Enters late, contributes to win Moreno went 2-for-2 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Mets.

Idle Saturday Moreno isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Moreno will take a seat during Saturday's series finale after going 2-for-8 with a run scored over the first two games. James McCann will instead make his first start of the season at catcher and bat eighth.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to catching Moreno started at catcher and went 3-for-4 with a double and two solo home runs in Sunday's spring game against the Padres.

Impact Moreno was back behind the plate for the first time in two weeks. He dealt with forearm tightness for a stretch and returned to action last Thursday as the designated hitter. Now that Moreno is defending again, it looks like there will be no limitations for the catcher heading into Opening Day. He's batting .242 (6-for-33) with three homers and five RBI through 11 Cactus League contests. He and James McCann will split duties behind the plate, although Moreno could garner additional plate appearances as a DH when not behind the dish.

Returning to lineup Moreno (forearm) will start as Arizona's designated hitter and bat fifth in Thursday's Cactus League game against the White Sox.

Impact Moreno has sat out the Diamondbacks' last several spring games while managing forearm tightness, but he's now ready to return to action after a few days of rest. After beginning Cactus League play 5-for-28 at the dish, he will now use the next week to prepare to work as Arizona's primary backstop.

Looks on track for Opening Day Arizona manager Torey Lovullo expressed confidence Monday that Moreno (forearm) will be available for the Diamondbacks' March 26 season opener versus the Dodgers, Jose M. Romero of...

Impact Moreno received good news over the weekend, when an MRI administered on his aching right forearm revealed inflammation but no structural damage. Though the injury isn't expected to affect Moreno at the plate, Lovullo said that the catcher will be barred from throwing this week while he waits for the inflammation to subside. Assuming he's cleared to make a start behind the dish in one of the Diamondbacks' exhibitions versus the Guardians early next week, Moreno should be ready to catch for Opening Day starter Zac Gallen on March 26.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

No structural damage in elbow Diamondbacks Torey Lovullo told reporters Saturday that an MRI on Moreno's right elbow showed inflammation and no structural damage, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Moreno was scratched from Friday's Cactus League game against the Royals after experiencing forearm tightness. The good news for the 26-year-old backstop is that imaging did not reveal a serious injury, and Lovullo relayed that Moreno should be available for Opening Day, per Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic.
