Overview

  • The team named Bogar to the role before Friday's series opener, moving him from a player-development post to the major-league staff.
  • Manager Torey Lovullo had removed Shaun Larkin from third-base duties after persistent send/hold issues, capped by Alek Thomas being thrown out at home on Wednesday.
  • Larkin remains on the coaching staff with a focus on infield instruction.
  • Bogar brings prior third-base experience with the Red Sox and multiple MLB bench coach stints, plus recent work managing in the Diamondbacks' system.
  • To activate Gabriel Moreno from the injured list, Arizona designated Jose Herrera for assignment and retained veteran James McCann.
