Diamondbacks Send Gabriel Moreno for Precautionary Imaging as Camp Roles Clarify
Manager Torey Lovullo characterizes the catcher’s forearm tightness as slight, prompting a cautious approach to final roster choices.
Overview
- Moreno was scratched with right forearm tightness and will undergo imaging, which Lovullo described as a precaution.
- Non-roster catcher Aramis Garcia started in Moreno’s place and could break camp if an injured list move is required.
- James McCann is positioned as the primary option if needed, while Adrian Del Castillo will open the season on the 10-day injured list with a calf strain.
- Corbin Carroll has returned as a designated hitter after hamate surgery and is trending toward Opening Day availability.
- Jordan Lawlar continues a strong spring in center field, hitting .323 with four homers as he pushes for an Opening Day roster spot.
- Merrill Kelly made his exhibition debut after back soreness as Zac Gallen holds the Opening Day nod, and Corbin Burnes threw his first post–Tommy John bullpen at 91 mph.
