Dealt to Diamondbacks Moreno was traded from Toronto to Arizona alongside Lourdes Gurriel (wrist) in exchange for Daulton Varsho on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports

Impact Moreno was able to make his major-league debut with the Jays in 2022, slashing .319/.356/.377 over 73 plate appearances, though most of his season was spent with Triple-A Buffalo. As one of the top catching prospects in baseball, Moreno should receive his fair share of starts behind the dish in Arizona, initially splitting time with Carson Kelly, who posted just a .616 OPS last season.

Tallies first career homer Moreno went 4-for-7 with a three-run home run and four runs scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

Impact Moreno had a strong showing in both games of the doubleheader, but the highlight came in the sixth inning of the opening contest, when he tallied his first career homer. He's bounced between Triple-A Buffalo and the big-league club this season, though he's rarely been in the lineup since being recalled Sept. 7. Moreno only has 73 plate appearances in the majors, but he has maintained an impressive .319/.356/.377 line in that span while striking out just 11 percent of the time.
