The Diamondbacks announced that catcher has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a sprained left thumb. has been called up from Triple-A, and Herrera with team with as Arizonas catching combo until Moreno has recovered. Morenos injury took place in last Brent Honeywell Jersey nights game, as the backstops glove hand was hit by a foul ball in the third inning. Moreno tried to stay in the game but the discomfort eventually forced him to make an early exit in the sixth frame. DBacks manager Torey Lovullo told media (including ) after the game that x-rays were negative on Morenos thumb, so the catcher at least avoided a more serious structural injury that wouldve cost him more time or even po sibly threatened his season. Heralded as one of baseballs top prospects during his time in the Blue Jays farm system, Moreno and were acquired by the DBacks in exchange for during the 2022-23 offseason. Morenos first full season saw him win a Gold Glove, hit .284/.339/.408 in 380 plate appearances, and then excel in Arizonas playoff run to the NL pennant, seemingly cementing his place as one of the sports up and coming stars. However, the sophomore slump seems to have bitten Moreno in his follow-up campaign, as he has hit only .230/.313/.346 with three homers over 217 PA. A .261 BABIP hasnt helped his efforts, though Moreno isnt making much hard contact. On the plus side, his strikeout and walk rates are both well above average, and Morenos defense remains remains elite. Shawn Green Jersey
