  • Lands on IL
    The Diamondbacks placed Moreno on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a sprained left thumb, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: Moreno's X-rays came back negative after he exited Friday's game due to his injured thumb, but the damage seems to still be severe enough to warrant keeping him out for the next 10 days. While he recovers, Tucker Barnhart will take over as Arizona's primary catcher and Jose Herrera will come up from Triple-A Reno to provide additional depth at catcher.

  • D-backs recall Jose Herrera on Saturday
    Diamondbacks recalled C Jose Herrera from Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: Herrera will split the catching duties with veteran Tucker Barnhart with Gabriel Moreno (thumb) landing on the injured list ahead of Saturday’s game against the Phillies. The 27-year-old backstop has gotten into 88 games in the majors over the last three years, but has spent all of this season back at Triple-A Reno. Rotoworld Today, 9:56 am
     
  • Diamondbacks put Gabriel Moreno (thumb) on IL
    Diamondbacks placed C Gabriel Moreno on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb sprain.

    Advice: Arizona has clearly opted not to take any chances here and will shut Moreno down for at least the next couple days after he was lifted from Friday’s game against the Phillies with a left thumb sprain. The 24-year-old backstop doesn’t appear to be facing a lengthy absence since X-rays came back negative for any fractures, but the Diamondbacks can’t really afford to play shorthanded at catcher.

  • Launches first homer of season
    Milias went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Friday's win over the Rockies.

    Advice: The Nationals took full advantage of a game at Coors Field, and Milias collected two of the team's 10 extra-base hits, including his first long ball of the season in the fourth inning off Dakota Hudson. Milias came into the game just 2-for-19 this year in the majors, and he's started just five of 19 games in June while working behind Keibert Ruiz. Rotowire.com Today, 9:30 am
     
  • Gabriel Moreno (thumb) not in Saturday’s lineup
    Gabriel Moreno (thumb) is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Moreno has had a down year this season, relative to fantasy managers’ lofty expectations, on the heels of a stellar postseason at the dish. However, it would be a significant loss for Arizona if he winds up requiring a trip to the injured list. The positive news here is that X-rays came back negative for any fractures after Moreno left Friday’s game against the Phillies with a left thumb sprain. He should be considered day-to-day for now.

  • Placed on IL
    The Cardinals placed Herrera on the 10-day injured list Saturday with lower-back tightness.

    Advice: Herrera's back issue forced him to miss both of St. Louis' last two games, and the Cardinals will now elect to shut him down for another week. Nick Raposo was selected from Triple-A Memphis to add depth behind the plate, though most starts will likely be given to Pedro Pages. Rotowire.com Today, 9:16 am

  • Cards put Iván Herrera on IL with back tightness
    Cardinals placed C Iván Herrera on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 19, with lower back tightness.

    Advice: Herrera heads to the injured list after missing the last couple games for St. Louis due to a lingering back issue. It’s not a significant development for the Cardinals since rookie Pedro Pagés has pretty much overtaken Herrera for the starting catching duties. It shouldn’t be much longer before Willson Contreras (forearm) is back from the injured list, so it’s possible Herrera’s time in the majors is over for now. Rotoworld Today, 8:36 am

  • Sitting down Saturday
    Amaya isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Amaya will receive a day off Saturday after tallying a base hit in each of his last three games. His absence will allow Tomas Nido to make his first start behind the plate as a Cub and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:31 am
     
  • Idle Saturday
    Kelly isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Kelly will get a breather Saturday after belting a two-run home run during Friday's win. Jake Rogers will fill in behind the dish and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 7:22 am
