    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Moreno (thumb) will catch five innings in an Arizona Complex League game Saturday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Advice: Moreno was placed on the injured list June 22 due to a sprained left thumb, but Lovullo said earlier in the week that he expects the catcher to return after the minimum 10 days.

    Advice: Fortes will cede catching duties to Ali Sanchez as the Marlins take on southpaw Cristopher Sanchez. Fortes has struggled to get his bat going this entire season, registering a slash line of .160/.192/.227and getting just three hits in his last 21 at bats. Rotowire.com Today, 12:30 pm
  • Swats second homer
    Marchan went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Marchan belted a solo shot in the fourth inning to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead. It was the backstop's second long ball over 30 plate appearances this season, which is as many homers as he hit across 224 plate appearances in the minors last year. Marchan has shown much more promise as a contact hitter than as a power hitter during his professional career, though three of his seven hits in the majors this year have gone for extra bases.

  • Marlins release catcher Christian Bethancourt
