Moreno (finger) has been cleared to resume baseball activities and could begin hitting by the end of the week, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Torey Lovullo noted Monday that Moreno has just begun his return to play progression, and that he's been cleared to take dry swings. If all goes week throughout the week, the backstop could get the green light to see live at-bats. An exact timetable for Moreno's return has yet to be established.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Moreno's recent CT scan showed his fractured right index finger hasn't completely healed, and the catcher will likely need another couple weeks to recover before resuming full baseball activities, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The hope was Moreno's scans would show enough improvement for him to resume baseball work, but that's not the case. He's been on the shelf since June 19 and remains on the 60-day injured list, which ensures he won't rejoin the Diamondbacks until at least mid-August. Jose Herrera and James McCann are likely to continue sharing the catching duties in Moreno's absence.

Moreno will undergo a CT scan this week to check the healing of the hairline fracture in his right index finger, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

If the scan shows that Moreno has made sufficient progress, he could be allowed to begin some baseball activities. Moreno was moved to the 60-day injured list over the weekend, making him ineligible to return to the Diamondbacks' 26-man active roster until mid-August.

Moreno (finger) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Moreno was hit by a wild pitch June 6, and after attempting to play through the injury, he was placed on the IL on June 19. It was revealed shortly after that he sustained a hairline fracture in his right index finger. The catcher hasn't been cleared to hit or throw. The move will keep him sidelined until at least mid-August. Jose Herrera and James McCann should handle most of the catching duties while Moreno is out.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that Moreno (finger) has resumed running on the bases and working on receiving, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lovullo noted that Moreno hasn't yet been cleared to use his dominant hand after suffering a hairline fracture to his pointer finger back on June 6, so until the catcher is cleared to start throwing and hitting, his return from the 10-day injured list shouldn't be viewed as imminent. Moreno appears likely to remain out until around late July, leaving Jose Herrera and James McCann to handle catching duties for Arizona over the next few weeks.

Moreno was diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his right pointer finger, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreno landed on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to what was initially listed as a right hand contusion. Further tests showed a more serious injury, and it appears unlikely that he'll be activated off the IL when eligible June 27. A clearer timeline for Moreno's return should be established when he returns from baseball activities, but he is in jeopardy of being sidelined through the All-Star break. Aramis Garcia was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Thursday and will serve as the Diamondbacks' backup catcher behind Jose Herrera for as long as Moreno is sidelined.

The Diamondbacks placed Moreno on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right hand contusion.

EDGE Analysis

Moreno was first injured back on June 6 when a wild pitch struck his hand. He has been in and out of the lineup since then and unable to get over the hump with the injury, so the Diamondbacks have elected to give him some extended down time. He'll be eligible for activation June 27 and should be ready to go at that time. Jose Herrera will serve as Arizona's primary catcher while Moreno is out, and Aramis Garcia has been called up from Triple-A Reno to serve as Herrera's backup.

Moreno (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Jose Herrera will draw another start behind the dish while Moreno takes a seat for the third game in a row as he continues to manage a sore right hand. The Diamondbacks haven't called up another catcher from the minors, so Moreno is likely being viewed as day-to-day and could make his return to the lineup as soon as Thursday's series finale.

Moreno was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against Toronto due to right hand soreness, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moreno will take a day off Tuesday to give his hand time to recover. Meanwhile, Jose Herrera will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth for Arizona.

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

EDGE Analysis

Moreno went 1-for-8 with a run scored while starting the first two games of the series versus San Diego, and he'll head to the bench for Sunday's finale. Jose Herrera will take over behind the plate and bat ninth against righty Nick Pivetta.
