Manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that Moreno (groin) is expected to miss several weeks of action, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Moreno was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left adductor strain Tuesday, and it appears he'll end up being sidelined for most of August. Moreno's status will receive an update in the near future as the Diamondbacks are awaiting imaging results. Lovullo expressed optimism that the 24-year-old will be able to return before the end of the regular season, but for now it'll be Jose Herrera and Adrian Del Castillo handling catching duties.

The Diamondbacks claimed Knizner off waivers from the Rangers on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Reno.

Knizner was DFA'd by Texas on Tuesday after posting a .394 OPS in 93 big-league plate appearances. He'll now join the Diamondbacks organization and serve as an organizational depth piece at Triple-A Reno in the wake of Gabriel Moreno's groin injury. Luis Frias was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Diaz started behind the plate in the first two games of the series, but he'll be given some rest as the Rockies and Mets conclude their three-game set with a matinee contest. Jacob Stallings will fill in for Diaz at catcher.

Alvarez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Alvarez was behind the plate for Wednesday's 5-3 win, but Luis Torrens started at catcher in the series opener and is back in the lineup for the finale. Alvarez did come off the bench in the middle of Tuesday's game and delivered a hit, so it's possible the Mets look to sub him in for Torrens at some point Thursday.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers.

Murphy will take a seat for the Thursday afternoon contest after he caught all nine innings of Wednesday night's 8-5 loss while going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. Travis d'Arnaud will settle in behind the dish for Atlanta in the series finale.

Bailey is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The Giants are concluding their series in Washington with a day game, so Bailey will get some rest after catching all nine innings of Wednesday night's 7-4 win. Jakson Reetz will start behind the plate Thursday.

Higashioka went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 9-8 extra-inning win against the Pirates on Wednesday.

Higashioka gave San Diego its first lead when he slammed a three-run shot to center field in the fourth inning. The long ball was the backstop's 14th of the campaign, four more than the career high of 10 he had established in three consecutive campaigns coming into 2024. Higashioka's trio of RBI on Wednesday also pushed him to a career-high mark with 37 on the season.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Smith started the first two games of the series but will sit for the finale after going 0-for-8 with an RBI and three strikeouts. Austin Barnes will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Gavin Stone.

Pages is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Pages had started in each of the last three games while the Cardinals faced left-handed pitchers, but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday as the Rays send right-hander Taj Bradley to the bump. Willson Contreras will step back in behind the plate after serving as the Cardinals' designated hitter in each of the last three contests.

Adams will start at catcher and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Giants.

For the first time since July 28, Adams will crack the Washington lineup while top backstop Keibert Ruiz gets a day off. So long as Ruiz doesn't show any signs of wearing down from his heavy workload, Adams will likely be in store for limited opportunities moving forward.
