Diamondbacks Lose Gabriel Moreno to Injury
The Arizona Diamondbacks have placed catcher Gabriel Moreno on the 10-day injured list due to a contusion on his right hand.
Moreno, 25, has been in and out of the lineup since he was hit on the hand by a wild pitch on June 6. The injured list placement is retroactive to Monday.
So far this season, Moreno has a batting average of .270, with five home runs and 20 RBIs in 53 games.
Throughout his career, Moreno has a batting average of .278, with 18 home runs and 122 RBIs in 286 games, playing for the Toronto Blue Jays (2022) and the Diamondbacks.
José Herrera, 28 years old, has been filling in as the starting catcher in Moreno’s absence.
In related moves, Arizona called up catcher Aramis García from Triple-A Reno and transferred right-handed reliever Christian Montes De Oca (back) to the 60-day injured list.
