Moreno’s only hit of the game brought three runs in as he took Trent Thornton deep in the sixth inning. It was the fifth home run of the season for Moreno, tying his total from last season in half the plate appearances. The 25-year-old backstop has hit the ball hard with more consistency this year, significantly raising his hard-hit rate. Moreno is slashing .277/.333/.428 with the five homers, 28 runs scored, and 20 RBI across 180 plate appearances.

Moreno is back handling the catching duties and batting eighth following a three-game absence with hand inflammation after taking a wild pitch off his throwing hand during Friday’s game against the Reds.

Moreno will sit out his third straight contest after taking a wild pitch off his right hand during Friday’s showdown against the Reds. The 25-year-old backstop remains day-to-day for now. It’s at least a positive sign that he hasn’t been placed on the injured list. It’ll be Jose Herrera handling the catching duties on Monday night in his absence.

Moreno is getting some extra time off to rest and recover after suffering a right hand contusion during Friday’s contest. It’s an encouraging sign heading into next week that Arizona has removed emergency catcher Aramis Garcia from the active roster already. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be Jose Herrera handling the catching duties on Sunday afternoon in his place.
