Here is a breakdown of the final roster!

"Catcher (2): Gabriel Moreno, Jose Herrera
The broken forearm suffered by Carson Kelly threw a wrench into the D-backs catching plans. They had wanted Kelly to get the bulk of the playing time early to allow Moreno, who has just 69 big league at-bats, to ease into things.

Did I hear correctly that we only play our divisional opponents 13 times each instead of the usual 19 this season?

Correct - more balanced schedule - similar to NBA - a team will play every other team at least one series.
Big change - will help the Dbacks, hurt teams like St. Louis that feasted on Reds and Pirates for 38 games.
Hurt teams like dodgers who feasted on Dbacks.
