Gabriel Moreno On The Bench Thursday
2 years agoArizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno is not in Thursday's starting lineup versus the Colorado Rockies. The youngster started behind the plate in Wednesday's 6-0 win, going 1-for-4 in the process but will get a breather in an afternoon contest following Wednesday's evening game. The 23-year-old has come as advertised in first extended stretch in the big leagues. He doesn't hit for much power with just two homers on the season but hits for a high average with a .291 mark through 44 appearances on the campaign. Jose Herrera will take over behind the plate and hit ninth against Rockies right-hander Connor Seabold.
