The 23-year-old Venezuelan backstop hit .352 (38-for-108) with three of his seven regular-season home runs against left-handed pitchers. However, Moreno has never faced Suarez in his career.

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (hand, wrist) is back in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. He's doing the catching and batting fifth against Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler. Moreno took a foul tip off his right hand/wrist in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers and was forced to the game, but he had plenty of time to heal up after the D-backs swept their division rivals in the five-game series. X-rays were negative and Moreno was able to take batting practice on Sunday. The 23-year-old Venezuelan backstop will look to stay hot in the postseason after clubbing three homers and driving in six in his first five playoff games. He's gone 0-for-3 in his career against Wheeler.
