Gabriel Moreno Could Return This Weekend
Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (oblique) isn't expected to return from the 10-day injured list for the series this week against the Milwaukee Brewers, but he could return for the series against the Chicago Cubs this weekend, according to Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. The D-backs originally thought the 26-year-old backstop would be an option to return against Milwaukee on Tuesday. Until Moreno can return this weekend, the Snakes will move forward with James McCann and Aramis Garcia at catcher if Adrian Del Castillo (finger) is forced to join Moreno on the IL after injuring his finger on Sunday in Mexico City. The once-promising Moreno has quickly lost luster in fantasy baseball leagues, especially single-catcher formats. Durability has been a major issue, as he has played in over 100 games just once in four MLB seasons. Through 13 games this year, Moreno has hit .275 (11-for-40), but with no homers and five RBI. Moreno has never had double-digit home runs in a season and is currently rostered in just 11% of Yahoo leagues.
