Moreno went 3-for-4 with a grand slam in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Moreno's first homer of the season was a big one, as he took Yoshinobu Yamamoto deep for a fourth-inning grand slam to open the scoring. Moreno dealt with side soreness earlier in the week. Prior to the injury issue, the catcher had a seven-game hitting streak between April 24 and May 3. For the season, he's batting .253 with nine RBI, 16 runs scored, three doubles and no stolen bases over 102 plate appearances.

Moreno (side) will start at catcher and bat sixth Thursday against the Dodgers, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moreno hadn't started either of the Diamondbacks' previous two games due to a bit of soreness in his left side, though he did enter Wednesday's contest as a pinch hitter. He'll now rejoin the starting nine Thursday and look to jumpstart his bat after going 3-for-13 with two runs and four strikeouts since the start of May.

Moreno (side) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets,
EDGE Analysis
Despite being scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game due to left side soreness, Moreno was considered available off the bench. He ultimately went unused in the 5-1 win, and the Diamondbacks will give Moreno another day off Wednesday to heal up from the injury. Jose Herrera will start at catcher for the second day in a row, though the expectation remains that Moreno will be back in the lineup for the four-game series versus the Dodgers that begins Thursday.

Moreno didn't play in Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left side soreness, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scratching Moreno from the lineup before Tuesday's contest was originally reported to be a managerial decision, but it now appears Moreno is dealing with an injury that stems from a play at the plate Monday. The team is labelling him as day-to-day for now, and Jose Herrera will start at catcher for any additional games Moreno misses.

Moreno has been scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Moreno is stepping out of the starting nine due to a manager's decision, per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com, so it doesn't seem like the 25-year-old backstop is battling any sort of injury. Jose Herrera will now start behind home plate and bat ninth. Moreno has gone 8-for-30 with six runs scored and three RBI over his last nine games.

Moreno went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Moreno was moved up to the fifth spot in the order with Lourdes Gurriel getting the day off. He worked an 11-pitch at-bat, fouling off five 3-2 pitches before delivering a two-run single. Moreno has a modest three-game hit streak (3-for-11, three RBI), but overall he hasn't made much of an impact. The catcher is batting .224 with two extra-base hits and five RBI through 23 contests.
