Nolan Arenado's Broken-Bat Bloop in 10th Sparks Diamondbacks to 7-6 Win over Red Sox
Gabriel Moreno moved to DH and James McCann started at catcher after Nootbaar went 0 for 3 in Monday’s 11-1 loss, the team said.
- Ahead of Game 2 against the Boston Red Sox, the Arizona Diamondbacks pulled outfielder Lars Nootbaar from the starting lineup. Gabriel Moreno shifted to designated hitter while James McCann took over catching duties.
- Manager Torey Lovullo benched Nootbaar for one game following the team's lopsided 11-1 loss on Monday. The decision reflected Nootbaar's lackluster performance in that defeat.
- Amid the roster adjustments, All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte remained absent for the third consecutive game. Conflicting reports emerged about his status: some sources said he was returning to Arizona for a knee MRI, while others reported he was staying in Boston to handle a personal matter.
- After being absent for the series opener, Marte contacted the Diamondbacks through appropriate channels, hoping to resolve his personal situation and return to play. Lovullo had reported limited communication with the infielder following his initial absence.
- Despite the roster challenges, the Diamondbacks avoided a series sweep by defeating the Red Sox 7-6 on Wednesday. The team faces Cincinnati on Friday with LHP Eduardo Rodriguez set to start.
