Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Hitless in return
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.

Smith notched his fourth multi-hit effort over his last 10 games, a span during which he's hitting .303 with a 3:4 BB:K. Smith has five extra-base hits this month but needs one more home run to reach 20 for the third time in his career.

Rangers' Jonah Heim: Goes deep in Tuesday's loss
Heim went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.
Heim tied the game up in the top of the eighth with a solo home run off Scott Alexander for his first long ball since Aug. 31. Heim does have seven hits over his last six games but is hitting just .173 since the All-Star break. It's been a down year offensively for the 29-year-old, who's now slashing .218/.265/.333 with 13 homers, 57 RBI, 43 runs, a steal and a 25:85 BB:K in 475 plate appearances.

Miguel Amaya C | CHC
Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Returns to lineup with solid effort
Amaya went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Phillies.
After sitting out Monday's game, Amaya returned to the lineup and rattled off his second straight two-hit effort dating back to Sunday. The catcher has a .653 OPS so far this season, which is a step back from last year's .688 mark. Amaya has yet to really take off offensively at the MLB level, though he stands a decent chance of once again being Chicago's starting catcher in 2025, at least to start the season.
