Moreno isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Moreno went 0-for-5 at the plate in his first game back from the injured list Friday, and he'll get a day off Saturday as the D-backs look to ease him back into regular playing time. James McCann will catch and bat eighth.

Harris (quadriceps) slugged a two-run homer in his only plate appearance during Friday's win over the Rockies.

The 25-year-old began the game on the bench, but Harris pinch hit for Jorge Mateo in the ninth inning and clubbed a Juan Mejia sweeper over the right-field fence to break a 6-6 tie. It was Harris' seventh long ball of the season, and Harris having been used as a pinch hitter the last two games is a good sign he might avoid an IL stint and return to defensive duties fairly soon.

Atlanta selected Carrasco's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Carrasco elected free agency after clearing waivers Friday, but he seems to have re-signed with Atlanta and will now join the big-league bullpen, replacing Anthony Molina. Carrasco pitched a shutout inning during his lone big-league appearance this year and owns a 1.71 ERA through 21 frames in Triple-A.

Acuna went 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Rockies.

The star outfielder produced his third multi-hit performance in the last five games as he continues to tease a breakout. Acuna hasn't gone on a prolonged hot streak yet in 2026, slashing .248/.360/.376 with two homers, nine RBI and 16 runs in 33 games, but seven steals in 11 attempts is at least a strong sign his knees are feeling 100 percent healthy.

Atlanta optioned Molina to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Molina pitched two shutout innings after being selected to the active roster Friday and will now be sent back to the minors in favor of Carlos Carrasco. Molina will keep his spot on the 40-man roster, however, keeping the door open for him to return to Atlanta at some point.

Friedl went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 9-1 loss to the Pirates.

Friedl had two of the Reds' three hits and was the only bright light in the loss. The two-hit night continued a strong stretch for the outfielder, who has gone 12-for-38 (.316) with two home runs, five doubles, one steal, six RBI and five runs over the last 10 contests. Friedl has slowly climbed out of a deep hole -- his batting average stood at .137 after 20 games -- and is at a season-high .198.

Olson went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's win over the Rockies.

The first baseman took Jose Quintana deep in the fourth inning to get Atlanta on the board and spark a comeback from an early 6-0 deficit. It was Olson's 10th homer of the season, one back of National League leader Kyle Schwarber, and five of them have come in the last 11 games -- a stretch in which he's slashing .333/.388/.762 with 11 runs and 13 RBI.

Gonzales went 3-for-4 with a run scored and a walk Friday against the Reds.

Gonzales was on base four times, marking the eighth time in his last 12 games that he's reached base multiple times. He also has multiple hits seven times in that span, good enough to maintain a .457 average with five RBI and seven runs scored. Gonzales has provided very little power -- he has a .047 ISO across 117 plate appearances -- but he's been a decent source of counting stats while providing a very strong batting average. After beginning the season in a part-time role, he has also started 12 straight games.

Moreno went 0-for-5 and struck out three times in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Cubs.

Moreno, who returned Friday from a three-week absence due to an oblique injury, started at catcher and batted fifth. It may take a few games for Moreno get his timing down after the absence, as he did not go out on a rehab assignment.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Friday against the Reds.

Ozuna went yard in the fifth inning to record his third home run of the season and first since April 18 -- a span of 10 games and eight starts. He continues to hit poorly to begin the year, as he's batting just .118 with a 32.4 percent strikeout rate in his last 10 contests. Ozuna remains Pittsburgh's primary designated hitter, but he has been out of the lineup for three of the team's last seven games and could continue to see his playing time slip.
