  • Homers in loss
    Wong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 loss to Cincinnati.

    Advice: Wong belted a solo home run in the second inning, his sixth of the season, and extended a hitting streak to 11 games (15-for-39). He's batting .335/.397/.471 for the season. There's no dramatic changes in his contact metrics to explain his breakout, and the BABIP (.395) warning signs are still there, but Wong has managed to avoid regression so far.

  • X-rays come back clean
    X-rays came back negative on Moreno's thumb following Friday's game against the Phillies, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

    Advice: Moreno hurt his thumb on a slide early in Friday's contest but remained in the game long enough to tally his third homer of the season. He was ultimately pulled in the sixth inning. Manager Torey Lovullo noted after the contest that Moreno is likely to avoid the injured list, but the team will see how he is feeling Saturday before any final determination is made.

  • X-Rays return negative for Gabriel Moreno (thumb)
    Diamondbacks’ manager Torey Lovullo told reporters after Friday’s game that X-rays came back negative for any structural damage on the injured thumb of catcher Gabriel Moreno.

    Advice: Lovullo is hopeful that Moreno will be able to avoid a stint on the injured list but noted that he’ll have to wait and see how he’s feeling on Saturday morning to make a full determination. In the meantime, expect Tucker Barnhart to draw a start behind the plate on Saturday. Rotoworld Friday, 7:30 pm
     
  • Gabriel Moreno diagnosed with sprained left thumb
    The Diamondbacks announced that Gabriel Moreno was removed from Friday’s game due to a sprained left thumb.

    Advice: The severity of the sprain — and how much time (if any) that Moreno may miss — remain up in the air. Tucker Barnhart replaced him in Friday’s contest against the Phillies and would be in line for increased run behind the plate if Moreno is forced to miss any substantial time.

  • Leaves game with sprained thumb
    Moreno exited Friday's game against the Phillies due to a sprained left thumb.

    Advice: Tucker Barnhart replaced Moreno behind home plate for the bottom of the sixth inning. Before exiting, Moreno went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run. Arizona should offer some clarity on the severity of Moreno's injury following Friday's contest. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:04 pm
     
  • Gabriel Moreno exits Friday with apparent injury
    Gabriel Moreno was removed from Friday’s game against the Phillies due to an apparent injury.

    Advice: No word yet on exactly what happened here, but the 24-year-old backstop was replaced by Tucker Barnhart when the Diamondbacks took the field in the sixth inning. Earlier in the game, Moreno crushed the hardest hit ball of his career — a titanic 433-foot (104.6 mph EV) blast to center field. Stay tuned, as the Diamondbacks should have an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Friday, 6:00 pm
     
  • Homers, reaches three times in win
    Alvarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Friday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Alvarez opened the second inning with a 420-foot home run off Shota Imanaga then walked in the fourth and ninth frames. The homer was Alvarez's first since returning from a thumb injury June 11, and he has eight hits and five RBI during a modest four-game hitting streak. On the season, Alvarez is slashing .271/.319/.400 with two home runs and 15 RBI in 91 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:17 pm
     
  • Four hits in loss
    Bailey went 4-for-5 in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Bailey is 14-for-37 (.378) over his last 10 games, and the lone contest in that span in which he failed to log a hit was one where he appeared off the bench. While the catcher is making consistent contact, it hasn't been particularly powerful -- he has just two extra-base hits in that span. Overall, he's at a .299/.367/.439 slash line with five homers, two stolen bases, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and eight doubles through 50 contests. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:20 am
     
  • Marlins designate Christian Bethancourt for assignment
    Marlins designated C Christian Bethancourt for assignment.

    Advice: Bethancourt was acquired from the Guardians last December and wound up hitting just .159/.198/.268 with two homers in 88 plate appearances over 38 games. It’ll most likely be newly-acquired Ali Sánchez taking his spot on Miami’s active roster. Rotoworld Thursday, 7:13 pm
