Diamondbacks Put James McCann on 10-Day IL, Call Up Aramis Garcia

The move keeps Arizona’s three-catcher setup intact by bringing back defense-first depth behind Gabriel Moreno.

Overview

  • Arizona placed James McCann on the 10-day injured list with a right quadriceps strain Tuesday and selected catcher Aramis Garcia to the major-league roster.
  • McCann suffered the injury while running to first base late in a blowout win over the Giants, prompting the swift roster change.
  • With McCann sidelined, Gabriel Moreno remains the primary catcher and Adrian Del Castillo is expected to pick up more starts after serving mostly as designated hitter.
  • Garcia returns for his second stint of 2026 after a brief April call-up when Moreno was out, and he is expected to serve as emergency and late-inning defensive depth.
  • Arizona has carried three catchers most of the year, favoring defense and game-calling in the bench role even as Del Castillo (.185/.232/.326) and Garcia (career .210 average) offer limited offense.
