Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Returns to lineup Thursday
Moreno went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Phillies.
Moreno played a big part in Arizona's four-run third inning, driving in Jake McCarthy with a single then coming home on Ketel Marte's three-run home run. Moreno returned to the lineup after getting three days off, a decision manager Torey Lovullo attributed to the young catcher being "a little fatigued," per Jesus Cano of MLB.com. The move appeared to have the desired effect of recharging Moreno, as he had batted .192 over his prior 18 games. The break also gave Lovullo a chance to reintegrate Carson Kelly, who was activated off the 60-day injured list Monday, into the lineup. The duo will share catching duties while both are healthy, but as yet the split in playing time between them isn't clear.
