Homers Monday Moreno went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's spring game against the Dodgers.

Impact In a lineup predominantly made up by minor leaguers and bench players, Moreno was moved up the order and batted third. He recorded two of Arizona's five hits and launched his second Cactus League home run in the sixth inning. The 25-year-old catcher hit mostly in the bottom third of the order in 2024 and is expected to be there again this coming season. He enters 2025 as the Diamondbacks primary backstop and won't be a cipher (.280/.347/.740 career slash) for fantasy rosters.

Hitless in return Moreno went 0-for-3 in his return to Tuesday's lineup against the Giants following a one-game absence due to left adductor tightness.

Impact Moreno was unable to get going similarly to the rest of his team after the Diamondbacks were shut out in Tuesday's loss. He figures to be behind the plate for the majority of the games the rest of this week as the Diamondbacks continue to fight down to the wire for a wild card spot.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Moreno (adductor) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Impact Moreno was removed from Sunday's game against the Brewers and didn't play Monday versus the Giants due to left adductor tightness. However, he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one as the Diamondbacks look to even the series.

Hoping to return to lineup Tuesday Moreno hopes to return to the Diamondbacks' lineup as soon as Tuesday after an MRI on his left side didn't reveal any structural damage, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic report...

Impact Moreno had to depart Sunday's game versus the Brewers with left adductor tightness, which is the same injury he returned from just over a week ago. However, he has managed to avoid a serious setback and is considered day-to-day. Moreno has been limited to just 20 games in the second half due to injury but is slashing .367/.443/.467 during that time.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Monday Moreno (adductor) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact Moreno will get at least one game off after he was removed from Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Brewers with left adductor tightness. Considering that Moreno missed nearly five weeks with a left adductor strain before he returned from the injured list Sept. 15, the backstop could be at risk of missing the entire final week of the regular season. For now, the Diamondbacks are considering Moreno day-to-day while they await the results of an MRI.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Considered day-to-day, getting MRI Manager Torey Lovullo said after Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Brewers that Moreno (side) is considered day-to-day and will have an MRI on Monday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Impact Moreno returned from the 10-day injured list Sept. 15 after missing nearly five weeks due to a left adductor strain, which he aggravated during Sunday's loss. Lovullo downplayed the seriousness of the issue and sounded hopeful that the 24-year-old catcher would be available off the bench for Monday's series opener against the Giants. If Moreno were to miss extended time, then Adrian Del Castillo could be brought up from Triple-A Reno to provide catching depth. Moreno went 0-for-1 with one walk before being replaced by Jose Herrera in the bottom of the fourth inning.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Battling renewed adductor tightness Moreno exited Sunday's game against the Brewers with left adductor tightness, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact As Friedman notes, it's the same injury that Moreno just returned from last week. The extent of his latest setback is uncertain, but this is potentially a big blow to an Arizona team primed for the playoffs. Even if Moreno doesn't need to go on the injured list, the team could bring Adrian Del Castillo back up for catching depth over the final week of the regular season.

Exits Sunday with injury Moreno was removed from Sunday's game against the Brewers with an apparent injury, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Impact A ball bounced and hit Moreno in his lower abdomen, though Jackson said the backstop appeared to be favoring his leg more than his abdominal area. Regardless, Moreno had to leave the game, and his status is currently up in the air. The Diamondbacks wrap up their regular season with a six-game homestand next week.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting down Saturday Moreno isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday versus Milwaukee.

Impact Although Moreno has gone 6-for-13 with an RBI and two runs scored across his brief four-game hitting streak, he'll take a seat against Aaron Civale and the Brewers on Saturday. Jose Herrera will fill in at catcher and bat ninth.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Moreno went 2-for-3 during his first start back from the injured list Monday, and he'll take a seat Tuesday as the D-backs ease him back into regular playing time. While he rests, Jose Herrera will catch for Jordan Montgomery and bat ninth.

Makes first start since return Moreno started at catcher and went 2-for-3 in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Impact Moreno, who was activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday, made his first start since rejoining the team -- he was used as a pinch hitter Sunday but did not play defensively. He missed nearly all of August and the first half of September with an adductor strain. The Diamondbacks optioned rookie backstop Adrian Del Castillo to Triple-A Reno on Monday, signaling that Moreno is ready to take on near-everyday duty.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from IL The Diamondbacks reinstated Moreno (adductor) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Moreno won't enter the lineup Sunday against the Brewers in his return to the 28-man active roster, but the 24-year-old will be available off the bench after completing his recovery from the left adductor strain that had kept him on the shelf for nearly five weeks. Though he didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated, Moreno was able to prove his health by playing in simulated games at the Diamondbacks' spring facility in Arizona in recent days. He could be eased back into the fold with a lighter catching load initially, but the expectation is that Moreno will be ready to serve as the club's No. 1 backstop by the time the postseason gets underway.
