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.

Realmuto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Cubs.

Realmuto's 14th round-tripper put the Phillies on the board in the second inning and served as the springboard to their division-clinching victory. It was the veteran catcher's fifth multi-hit game and third homer this month. Barring a surge during the final week of the season, Realmuto will finish with fewer than 17 home runs in a full season for the first time since 2016.

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.

Bailey is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Arizona.

It's a routine day off for Bailey, who had started three of the last four games for the Giants. Curt Casali will do the catching in the series opener in the desert.

Amaya is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Philadelphia.

Amaya slugged a home run in Sunday's win over the Nationals but will receive a day of rest for Monday's series opener against the Phillies. Christian Bethancourt will start at catcher and bat eighth for the Cubs.

Moreno (adductor) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Moreno will get at least one game off after he was removed from Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Brewers with left adductor tightness. Considering that Moreno missed nearly five weeks with a left adductor strain before he returned from the injured list Sept. 15, the backstop could be at risk of missing the entire final week of the regular season. For now, the Diamondbacks are considering Moreno day-to-day while they await the results of an MRI.

Langeliers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Yankees on Sunday.

Langeliers extended his hitting streak to five games with Sunday's single, a stretch during which he's hitting .412 (7-for-17) with a double, two home runs, four RBI, three walks and three runs. The slugging backstop has already set career highs in total extra-base hits (47), home runs (28), RBI (75), walks (38) and runs (55), and he's even established a new personal best in stolen bases (four) for good measure.

Diaz went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and one run scored Sunday against the Angels.

Diaz started at first base for the second time in three games, with Jonathan Singleton being bumped from the lineup. He recorded his third consecutive multi-hit performance, highlighted by a clutch double in the eighth inning that tied the game at 5-5. This stretch continues a strong close to the season for Diaz, as he has maintained a .325 average with 10 RBI and 10 runs scored across 20 games in September.

Lee went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

Lee opened up the scoring with a solo shot to left off Yu Darvish in the third for his first home run since Aug. 12. Lee has just five hits and two RBI through 14 games this month, and three of those hits have come over his last two starts. For the year, he's slashing .207/.238/.341 with 11 homers, 33 RBI, five steals and a 15:121 BB:K in 382 plate appearances.

The White Sox added Quero to their taxi squad Sunday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

The 21-year-old catcher could make his major-league debut with the White Sox during the last week of the regular season. Quero has been with the organization since July of 2023, when he was traded by the Angels along with left-hander Ky Bush in exchange for Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez. Quero began 2024 with Double-A Birmingham, but he was promoted to Triple-A Charlotte in July. He missed some time due to a back injury, but across his 25 outings with Charlotte, he slashed .300/.390/.478 with four home runs and 17 RBI across 105 plate appearances.
