Moreno is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Moreno started the previous four games and will receive a breather Wednesday after going 5-for-16 with a double and a triple during that span. Jose Herrera will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Zac Gallen in the series finale versus Pittsburgh.

Marte (illness) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

The second baseman was held out of the starting nine Tuesday due to flu-like symptoms and will sit Wednesday for a second consecutive game. Arizona has a team day off Thursday, which should give Marte enough time to get healthy for Friday's series opener against Washington. Jordan Lawlar is receiving another start at the keystone in Wednesday's series finale.

Quintana (shoulder) is preparing to come off the injured list to start Sunday against the Phillies, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The veteran left-hander threw 71 pitches across four frames during his rehab start with High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday, priming him to rejoin Milwaukee's rotation this weekend in Philadelphia. Quintana was pitching well prior to the shoulder injury and had a 2.65 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB across 34 innings.

Lopez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

The veteran infielder was let go by the Cubs last week, and it didn't take long for him to latch on with a new team. Lopez has gone 1-for-24 in 19 games between the Cubs and Angels this season and isn't likely to be a significant contributor even if he's added to the Diamondbacks' big-league roster.

The Nationals reinstated Chaparro (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.

Chaparro has been on the shelf for the first two months of the season due to an oblique strain, and he won't immediately join the active MLB roster now that he's healthy. The 26-year-old went 5-for-17 with a double and two RBI in five games with Rochester during his rehab assignment, and he'll remain with the affiliate until the Nationals need some lineup help.

The Padres optioned Cruz to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

Cruz got his first big-league call Sunday since being optioned to El Paso on April 5, but the left-hander didn't take the mound during his three-game stint in San Diego. He'll cede his spot on the 26-man roster to make room for Kyle Hart to start Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

The Padres recalled Hart from Triple-A El Paso to start Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Hart will fill Michael King's (shoulder) spot in San Diego's rotation after King was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday. Hart made the Padres' Opening Day rotation, but he was demoted to Triple-A after logging a 6.00 ERA in five starts. The 32-year-old has made three starts at El Paso, tallying a 3.07 ERA and 12:12 K:BB over 14.2 innings. Omar Cruz was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Conforto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Conforto went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo homer Tuesday in Cleveland but will sit Wednesday against southpaw Kolby Allard. The veteran outfielder has yet to get on track at the plate in 2025 and has a .172/.312/.287 slash line and 28.6 percent strikeout rate through 189 plate appearances.

Hoskins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox.

Hoskins has hit a bit of a cold stretch of late with just one hit and eight strikeouts in his past 13 at-bats, so he'll head to the bench Wednesday after a run of 32 consecutive starts. Jake Bauers will step in at first base and bat eighth against Boston righty Brayan Bello.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bailey started the first two games of the series and will rest Wednesday while in the midst of a 2-for-18 slump. Sam Huff will bat eighth and do the catching for righty Landen Roupp.
