Moreno will remain available off the bench with Jose Herrera entering the starting lineup.
Arizona’s batting order against Braves right-handed pitcher Charlie Morton changed, as Moreno was set to bat sixth. Herrera slid into the nine-hole, and shortstop Geraldo Perdomo moved up from ninth to sixth.
