Moreno went 0-for-3 in his return to the lineup Tuesday against the Giants following a one-game absence due to left adductor tightness. Moreno was unable to get going, but he figures to be behind the plate for the majority of the Diamondbacks' remaining regular-season games as the club continues to fight for a wild-card spot.

Moreno (adductor) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Giants. Moreno was removed from Sunday's game against the Brewers and didn't play Monday versus the Giants due to left adductor tightness. However, he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one as the Diamondbacks look to even the series.

Moreno hopes to return to the Diamondbacks' lineup as soon as Tuesday after an MRI on his left side didn't reveal any structural damage, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. Moreno had to depart Sunday's game versus the Brewers with left adductor tightness, which is the same injury he returned from just over a week ago. However, he has managed to avoid a serious setback and is considered day-to-day. Moreno has been limited to just 20 games in the second half due to injury but is slashing .367/.443/.467 during that time.

Manager Torey Lovullo said after Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Brewers that Moreno (side) is considered day-to-day and will have an MRI on Monday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports. Moreno returned from the 10-day injured list Sept. 15 after missing nearly five weeks due to a left adductor strain, which he aggravated during Sunday's loss. Lovullo downplayed the seriousness of the issue and sounded hopeful that the 24-year-old catcher would be available off the bench for Monday's series opener against the Giants. If Moreno were to miss extended time, then Adrian Del Castillo could be brought up from Triple-A Reno to provide catching depth. Moreno went 0-for-1 with one walk before being replaced by Jose Herrera in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Moreno was removed from Sunday's game against the Brewers with an apparent injury, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. A ball bounced and hit Moreno in his lower abdomen, though Jackson said the backstop appeared to be favoring his leg more than his abdominal area. Regardless, Moreno had to leave the game, and his status is currently up in the air. The Diamondbacks wrap up their regular season with a six-game homestand next week.
