Diamondbacks Place Gabriel Moreno on IL, Eye Short-Term Catching Shuffle

The Diamondbacks will place catcher Gabriel Moreno on the injured list with a muscular back issue after an MRI, expecting a minimum 10-day absence and optimism it won’t be long. James McCann and Adrian Del Castillo will share catching duties in Moreno’s absence, potentially in a platoon. Moreno has been Arizona’s primary catcher since the 2022 trade for Daulton Varsho, boasting strong defensive metrics and solid hitting (107 wRC+ this year in 45 PAs).

Diamondbacks Navigate Injury Shuffle as Moreno MRI Looms and Rotation Questions Surface

Brandon Pfaadt's rotation spot is in flux, potentially moving him to long relief if he can't keep his spot.

"Diamondbacks' Dominant Performance Evens World Series in Game 2"

Merrill Kelly delivers a dominant performance, pitching seven innings of one-run baseball to help the Arizona Diamondbacks defeat the Texas Rangers 9-1 in Game 2 of the World Series, evening the series at 1-1.

Injury sidelines D-backs catcher Gabriel Moreno

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to left shoulder inflammation. In a corresponding move, catcher Jose Herrera has been recalled from Triple-A Reno. Moreno had been dealing with shoulder discomfort for the past few weeks, and his workload had decreased. Moreno, acquired in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays, had been performing well offensively recently. He leads the majors in caught stealing percentage. Herrera, who made his MLB debut with the Diamondbacks last year, will fill in for Moreno.

"Revisiting Varsho Trade as Diamondbacks Face Blue Jays in Toronto"

As the Arizona Diamondbacks prepare to face the Toronto Blue Jays in their first series after the All-Star break, the trade that sent Daulton Varsho to Toronto is being evaluated. So far, the Diamondbacks have come out ahead in terms of wins above replacement value (WAR), with Varsho's defensive contributions and Moreno's potential as a catcher being key factors. However, Gurriel has been the standout offensive player in the trade, making his first All-Star Game appearance. The two teams have similar records, and Varsho will face his former team for the first time in the upcoming series.

Arizona Diamondbacks Make Series of Roster Moves, Including Designation of Misiewicz and Activation of Kelly.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have designated left-hander Anthony Misiewicz for assignment to make room for the reinstatement of catcher Carson Kelly from the 60-day injured list. Misiewicz has a 5.63 ERA in seven appearances for the Diamondbacks this season, but has a stronger track record in his 126 total appearances in the majors. The Diamondbacks will have a week to trade Misiewicz or pass him through waivers. Kelly, who fractured his forearm in Spring Training, will likely share playing time with Gabriel Moreno, who has been filling in behind the dish in his absence.

"2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft: Rankings, Sleepers, and FAAB Insights"

Anthony Volpe, who made the Yankees' Opening Day roster, has moved up in the rankings due to his potential for double-digit pop and a whole bunch of steals. Bryce Harper's progress in his recovery from injury has also made him a more attractive pick. Gabriel Moreno is now the primary catcher for the Blue Jays, and Alec Bohm has added muscle to his swing, leading to more power. Anthony Rendon's elite plate discipline and promising exit velocity data in spring training have boosted his value. Finally, Reid Detmers' slider-fueled breakout last season and velocity bump this spring make him a top-50 pitcher and a key target in the middle rounds.
