Moreno, 24, left Friday night’s 5-4 win over Philadelphia in the sixth inning because of the thumb injury. He had hit his third homer of the season in the third inning, a drive off Taijuan Walker. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Friday night that initial X-rays were negative.

“He woke up this morning and it was still stiff and sore,” Lovullo told reporters on Saturday. “It’s one of those positions where you only have one backup and if you need him, you need him. So we decided to put him on the IL. It’s a tough break for Gabby, but the 10 days of rest will do him good.”
