Gabriel Moreno Expected to Return Next Tuesday
Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (oblique), who has not played since April 10 against the Philadelphia Phillies due to a left-oblique strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list, is expected to return for the series against the Milwaukee Brewers that starts next Tuesday, according to John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports. Moreno could go on a short minor-league rehab assignment later this week/weekend before being reinstated early next week. Until then, the D-backs will continue to roll with James McCann and Adrian Del Castillo behind the plate. Fantasy managers are losing patience with the 26-year-old Moreno because of his frequent injuries, and he's currently rostered in just 11% of Yahoo leagues. Before his oblique strain, the Venezuelan backstop was hitting a strong .275 (11-for-40) but with no home runs, five RBI, and six runs scored in just 13 games played. Moreno has never hit more than nine home runs in his four MLB seasons.
