Overview

  • Manager Torey Lovullo said Moreno was penciled into Friday’s lineup, marking his first MLB game action since a finger fracture sidelined him in early summer.
  • Herrera’s DFA opens the roster slot for Moreno’s return after more than two months on the injured list.
  • James McCann’s steady production since signing in June has positioned him as Moreno’s primary backup for the rest of the season.
  • Adrián Del Castillo has largely been used as a designated hitter, giving Arizona an additional bat while Moreno and McCann handle catching duties.
  • Moreno, a 2023 NL Gold Glove winner, homered in consecutive Triple-A rehab games this week as he completed his ramp-up to rejoin the big-league club.
