  Rotowire Jun 11, 2025

  Moreno is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners. Moreno had been out of the lineup for three straight games due to a hand injury before returning to action Tuesday. He came up big in Arizona's 10-3 win, going 1-for-4 with a three-run home run. Moreno will retreat to the bench Wednesday for the day game after a night game, but he should operate as the Diamondbacks' primary backstop moving forward.

• Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Pops homer in return

  Rotowire Jun 11, 2025

  Moreno (hand) went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners. Moreno missed three games after he suffered an injury to his right hand last Friday. He played the full game Tuesday, so he looks good to resume his status as the Diamondbacks' top catcher. His homer Tuesday was his first since May 23 versus the Cardinals, though he has been steady at the plate with just two hitless efforts in his last 16 games. Moreno is at a .277/.333/.428 slash line with five homers, 20 RBI, 28 runs scored and one stolen base across 51 contests.

• Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Homers as pinch hitter

  Rotowire May 24, 2025

  Moreno entered Friday's game as a pinch hitter and hit a two-run home run in a 4-3 loss to the Cardinals. Moreno batted for catcher Jose Herrera in the ninth inning and pulled the Diamondbacks closer. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo decided to pair starter Zac Gallen with Herrera, after the pitcher was rocked in his previous outing. Gallen has a better ERA this season with Herrera (3.56) than Moreno (6.89). The pitcher has a career 3.27 ERA over 34 games when paired with Herrera. The Gallen/Herrera arrangement could be how Lovullo operates going forward, so fantasy managers that roster Moreno should be cognizant of that.
