Cardinals Announce Nolan Arenado News Before Dodgers Game
The St. Louis Cardinals (57-58) have been struggling in recent weeks and have shifted their focus to rebuilding, trading All-Star closer Ryan Helsley at the deadline. However, one player who will remain with the team through the end of the season is veteran third baseman Nolan Arenado.
Now in his fifth season with the Cardinals after being acquired from the Colorado Rockies in 2021, the 34-year-old is currently experiencing the worst offensive stretch of his 13-year career. With a .235 batting average, .660 OPS, and only 10 home runs through 96 games, Arenado’s numbers are at career lows. This is also the first season in which he has hit less than 100 games and only the second time he has hit less than 10 home runs in a season.
To make matters worse, Arenado was recently placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right shoulder injury. However, there is some good news for Cardinals fans as manager Oliver Marmol announced before Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers that Arenado will report to Jupiter, Florida on Friday to begin a rehab assignment. The team is hopeful that once his shoulder strengthens, he will be able to return to game action.
“#STLCards third baseman Nolan Arenado will report to Jupiter, Florida, on Friday to begin a rehab assignment, manager Oliver Marmol said. The club’s thinking is that after his shoulder strengthens, he could soon appear in games there.”
Arenado has acknowledged that his shoulder has been bothering him for most of the season and it may have contributed to his struggles. He initially resisted going on the injured list, but the discomfort became too much to play through.
Despite his down year, Arenado’s career has been nothing short of incredible. With eight All-Star selections, 10 Gold Gloves, and five Silver Slugger awards, he is considered one of the best defensive third basemen in history. Since joining the Cardinals five seasons ago, he has batted .266 with a .779 OPS, 116 home runs, and 415 RBIs, helping the team reach the postseason in 2021 and 2022.
