Gabriel Moreno catching Friday for Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno is in the lineup for Friday's series opener against left-hander Steven Matz and the St. Louis Cardinals.
What It Means:
Moreno will replace Tucker Barnhart at catcher and bat sixth after sitting out last game. Left-handed hitters Jake McCarthy and Joc Pederson will remain out against another lefty starter. Lourdes Gurriel and Randal Grichuk will occupy the corner outfield spots again for Arizona on Friday night. Ketel Marte will make another start as the designated hitter and leadoff batter.
numberFire's models project Moreno for 8.7 FanDuel points on Friday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks have the third-best implied total (4.95) in the majors today.
