Moreno was removed from Sunday's game against the Brewers with an apparent injury, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

A ball bounced and hit Moreno in his lower abdomen, though Jackson said the backstop appeared to be favoring his leg more than his abdominal area. Regardless, Moreno had to leave the game, and his status is currently up in the air. The Diamondbacks wrap up their regular season with a six-game homestand next week.

D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

D'Arnaud and Sean Murphy have been alternating turns behind the plate since the former returned from the paternity list Sept. 12. After d'Arnaud started at catcher and went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in Saturday's 6-2 win, Murphy will enter the lineup Sunday.

Naylor is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Naylor drew the start in the first two games of this weekend's series, going 2-for-8 with a solo home run and another run scored. Austin Hedges will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Contreras (finger/hip) is in the lineup as the designated hitter for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The 26-year-old is said to be dealing with lingering finger and hip issues, but he will tough it out Sunday with the help of the DH tag. Milwaukee has already secured the NL Central, so Contreras could perhaps see additional down time over the final week of the season. That said, he's been a workhorse and will likely push to play as much as the team will let him in preparation for the playoffs.

Kirk is not in the lineup for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay.

Kirk caught the first two games of the series but will get a breather for Sunday's finale. Tyler Heineman is behind the plate as the Blue Jays try to avoid a sweep.

Diaz went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday in a 6-2 victory versus the White Sox.

Diaz gave San Diego some extra cushion in the eighth inning with a two-run shot to left-center field. It was his sixth homer of the season and his first since joining the Padres in late August. In fact, prior to Saturday, Diaz -- who belted a career-high 18 long balls with the Rockies in 2021 -- hadn't gone deep since June 5, a stretch of 41 games.

Dingler went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple and two RBI in Saturday's 6-4, 10-inning win over the Orioles.

Dingler snapped an 0-for-9 slump that spanned his last three appearances and recorded the second triple of his rookie season. The 25-year-old catcher has mostly struggled in his debut campaign, slashing .143/.175/.286 across 24 games, but he still should figure into Detroit's future plans behind the plate.

Wong is absent from the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Twins, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Danny Jansen will do the catching for the Red Sox in the first game of the twin bill. Wong is likely to be back in the lineup for the nightcap.

Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.

The 22-year-old catcher stayed hot, taking Ranger Suarez deep for a solo shot in the second inning before adding a two-run double in the seventh off Orion Kerkering. Alvarez has 11 homers on the season, and five of them have come in his last nine games -- a stretch in which he's batting .286 (8-for-28) with 13 RBI.

Raleigh went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.

Raleigh authored one of five multi-hit efforts on the night for the Mariners while achieving the feat for the sixth time in September. The 27-year-old backstop has already reached the 30-home-run threshold for the second straight season despite currently being mired in a nine-game power drought, and he's carrying a .265 average and .829 OPS across 18 games thus far in September as the Mariners continue pushing for a wild-card spot.
