Gabriel Moreno scratched from Diamondbacks lineup

Per Jesse Friedman at PHNX Sports, Moreno might be available off the bench, and Jose Herrera will start at catcher.

Since returning from the IL with a wrist injury on July 2nd, Moreno has gone 11-for-28 at the plate, including three multi-hit games.

Tonight will be just Jose Herrera’s fifth start of the season. Herrera was recalled from Triple-A Reno when the Diamondbacks designated Tucker Barnhart for assignment.

The Diamondbacks are currently trailing the Braves 2-0 in their four-game series. Despite holding a 3-1 lead heading into the 9th inning, Atlanta snuck away with a win in the series opener. The Braves then knocked out Zac Gallen late on Wednesday, resulting in a 6-2 win.

Arizona will have Slade Cecconi on the mound, facing off against Charlie Morton of the Braves.
