Gabriel Moreno Scratched on Friday With Forearm Tightness
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that catcher Gabriel Moreno (forearm) was scratched from Friday night's Cactus League lineup with right-forearm tightness, according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. It's something that Moreno has been dealing with for a few days. He'll go for imaging on his forearm, at which point we'll have a better idea of the severity of the injury. If the injury is serious enough to keep Moreno out for Opening Day in two weeks, it would open up playing time behind the dish in the desert for both Adrian Del Castillo and James McCann. The 26-year-old Venezuelan backstop has only played in over 100 games once in his three full seasons in the big leagues. Moreno played in 83 games a season ago due to injuries, although he still managed a career-high nine home runs, 40 RBI, and a solid .285 batting average (79-for-277) in 309 plate appearances. Moreno is more of a No. 2 catching target in fantasy drafts because of his durability concerns.
