The Arizona Diamondbacks secured an 11-4 victory against the San Diego Padres on September 25, 2026, marking their sixth consecutive win. Catcher Gabriel Moreno, a crucial part of the lineup, left the game due to a tender left hamstring, although manager Torey Lovullo indicated Moreno could serve as the designated hitter for the next game. The Diamondbacks are now just one game back of the final National League wild-card spot. In light of Moreno's injury, Arizona plans to call up another catcher. The team has made a roster move by designating Jesus Sanchez for assignment to improve depth behind the plate as they pursue postseason positioning.
