D-backs' Moreno on IL with sprained left thumb
Written by I Dig SportsPHILADELPHIA -- Arizona catcher Gabriel Moreno was put on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a sprained left thumb, and the Diamondbacks recalled catcher Jose Herrera from Triple-A Reno of the Pacific Coast League.
Moreno, 24, left Friday night's 5-4 win over Philadelphia in the sixth inning because of the thumb injury. He had hit his third homer of the season in the third inning, a drive off Taijuan Walker. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Friday night that initial X-rays were negative.
"He took a foul ball off it and caught it a little funny, so we wanted to get it looked at," Lovullo said Friday.
Moreno was a Gold Glove catcher last year. He is hitting .230 with a .659 OPS in 61 games this season.
