Gabriel Moreno - Page 24 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Dealing with right thumb soreness Moreno hasn't played at Triple-A Buffalo since Aug. 5 due to right thumb soreness, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

Impact Although Moreno hasn't been able to participate in games over the last week, he's been cleared to resume a hitting progression. The 22-year-old hasn't been placed on the injured list, so he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Optioned to Triple-A Moreno was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact With Danny Jansen (finger) being activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Moreno no longer had a spot on the active roster and was optioned back down to Buffalo. In his first 58 career at-bats, the 22-year-old produced a .276 average with a double, four RBI and three runs. Moreno will remain a top candidate to be called up if either Alejandro Kirk or the aforementioned Jansen get hurt moving forward.

Sits for third time in four games Moreno is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Moreno is on the bench for the third time in four games and may have to settle for a part-time role at catcher behind Alejandro Kirk, even while fellow backstop Danny Jansen (finger) remains stuck on the 10-day injured list. Though Moreno has more than held his own at the plate in a limited sample of 24 MLB plate appearances (.808 OPS), Kirk continues to produce at a high level in his own right. The Blue Jays likely aren't keen on regularly including both of their backstops in the lineup and leaving no catcher available off the bench, so Moreno looks like he'll be limited to a backup duties more often than not.

Sitting again Sunday Moreno is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact The 22-year-old is hitting .421 with four RBI through his first five big-league games, but he'll take a seat Sunday for the second consecutive contest. Alejandro Kirk will move behind the plate in Moreno's place, while Teoscar Hernandez rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Riding pine Saturday Moreno isn't starting Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Moreno started in the last two games and went 4-for-8 with two RBI. Alejandro Kirk is starting behind the dish while Cavan Biggio enters the lineup at first base Saturday.

Three more hits Friday Moreno went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's 12-3 loss to the Yankees.

Impact The Blue Jays' offense couldn't get much going aside from the team's rookie backstop, as Moreno accounted for three of Toronto's five hits on the night. The 22-year-old is 8-for-19 (.421) through the first five games of his big-league career, and so far he's only struck out once. Moreno is quickly making a strong case that he's not only the franchise's catcher of the future, but of the present as well.

Out of lineup Wednesday Moreno isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Moreno went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's loss to Baltimore but will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Alejandro Kirk is starting behind the plate while Raimel Tapia enters the lineup in right field.

Three hits in Tuesday's loss Moreno went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Batting eighth, the rookie catcher displayed his plus hit tool and drove in the first two runs of his big-league career. While Jorge Mateo did steal two bases off Moreno, marring his defensive performance somewhat, the pilfers can mostly be blamed on the slow delivery of Trevor Richards. Moreno has started three of four games since his promotion, going 4-for-11 with a 1:1 BB:K, and the Blue Jays appear intent on giving the 22-year-old every opportunity to lock down the starting job behind the plate, at least until Danny Jansen (finger) gets healthy.
