Sitting Game 1 Moreno isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Padres.

Impact After going 3-for-7 with a homer during the first two games of the series, Moreno will get a breather for the first game of Saturday's activities. Moreno will likely return for the nightcap, but for now Jose Herrera will get the nod behind the plate and bat eighth.

Goes deep in win Moreno went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-1 victory versus the Padres on Thursday.

Impact Moreno swatted a solo shot to right field in the fifth inning to give Arizona a 3-0 lead. It was just his fourth homer of the season and his first since returning from the injured list this past Sunday. Moreno has never displayed much pop -- his high mark for homers as a pro is 12 in A-ball in 2019 -- but his .268/.311/.370 slash line on the campaign is adequate enough for him to be locked in as Arizona's primary catcher.

Heads to IL The Diamondbacks placed Moreno on the 10-day injured list Sunday with left shoulder inflammation.

Impact Moreno's move to the IL comes after he was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Reds. The Diamondbacks recalled catcher Jose Herrera from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move, but Carson Kelly should serve as Arizona's clear-cut No. 1 backstop for however long Moreno is sidelined.

Scratched with shoulder discomfort Moreno was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against Cincinnati due to left shoulder discomfort, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Impact Moreno has been dealing with the issue over the last few weeks and has seen his playing time dip as a result. It's unclear if his scratch Saturday means the issue has reached a point that he'll need a trip to the injured list. Carson Kelly will start Saturday and would see his playing time increase if Moreno does in fact need a stint on the sidelines.

On bench again Tuesday Moreno is not in the lineup Tuesday against Atlanta.

Impact Carson Kelly will make a third straight start at catcher and hit seventh as the Diamondbacks try to get his bat going. No matter who is playing behind the plate in Arizona, the situation has not been fruitful for fantasy purposes so far in 2023.

Impact The 23-year-old started Friday in the Diamondbacks' first game back from the break and extracted a bit of revenge against the team that traded him this past winter, homering as part of a two-hit effort. However, that was not enough to earn him another start in the series. Carson Kelly will catch for starter Tommy Henry on Sunday.

Sits down Saturday Moreno isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Saturday against Toronto.

Impact Moreno will get a breather Saturday one day after going 2-for-4 with a homer against his former team. Carson Kelly will fill in behind the plate and bat eighth while Moreno sits.

JULY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers against former team Moreno went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-2 loss to Toronto.
