'We Have a Diagnosis': D-Backs Manager Announces Catcher Gabriel Moreno Has Finger Fracture, Pitcher A.J. Puk Undergoes Elbow Surgery

On June 20, Arizona Diamondbacks announced that pitcher A.J. Puk underwent season-ending elbow surgery in Los Angeles performed by Dr. Neil ElAttrache.
Puk’s surgery followed his April 19 placement on the injured list due to elbow inflammation, and the procedure was exploratory to assess ligament damage or need for bracing.
Catcher Gabriel Moreno suffered a small fracture in the metacarpal of his right index finger after being struck by an 86.5 mph curveball on June 6, leading to his placement on the injured list on June 12.
Manager Torey Lovullo said Moreno will be out for weeks, likely until at least the July 14 All-Star break, while praising Moreno’s effort to play through pain and deliver key hits.
The Diamondbacks placed Adrian Del Castillo on the injured list due to back spasms, called up veteran Aramis Garcia to fill in for Moreno, and continue to deal with several season-ending injuries.
