The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster move. The D-backs’ 40-man roster remains at 40.
- Recalled from Triple-A Reno: C Jose Herrera
- Placed on 10-day injured list: C Gabriel Moreno (sprained left thumb)
It’s unfortunate, because catcher is among the positions on the field where there’s the biggest drop-off between starter and backup for Arizona. Moreno may not have been hitting the cover off the ball this year, but his 89 OPS+ this season is still more than twice as much as Barnhart’s 43. Which, coincidentally, is exactly the same as Jose Herrera’s career average OPS+.
