Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno left Friday's game with a right hand injury.

Mena, 22, was 1-0 and did not allow a run in two outings for Arizona this season.

The Diamondbacks also added right-hander Christian Montes De Oca as the 27 th man for Saturday's schedule that includes the completion of a suspended game as well as the regularly-scheduled game against the Cincinnati Reds. Montes De Oca has not appeared in a major league game.
