Fri Mar 117:21Nolan Arenado Goes Without A Hit Friday
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado went hitless with one strikeout in two plate appearances during a 3-2 win over the New York Mets on Friday. The veteran began his spring by collecting four hits, including two doubles, across his first three games but is now hitless over his last two Grapefruit League contests. He is now hitting .364 with two RBI, one run, and a .909 OPS across 11 trips to the plate this spring. After an MVP-caliber 2022 season, Arenado's bat predictably regressed in the 2023 season. That said, the 32-year-old still hit .266 with 24 home runs and 93 RBI across 144 games played, his fewest in a full season since 2014. His underlying metrics were concerning but he should still be able to provide quality production at the hot corner for fantasy managers this season.

Mon Feb 1918:32Nolan Arenado Takes Batting Practice Monday
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (back) was scheduled to take live batting practice at spring training on Monday. Arenado appears to be fully healthy at camp after ending the 2023 campaign on the injured list due to lower back spasms. The 32-year-old eight-time All-Star took pilates in the offseason and lost some weight after ending last season with an injury. His third year in St. Louis was a slight disappointment offensively, as he hit .266/.315/.459 with 26 home runs, 26 doubles, two triples, 93 RBI, three steals and 71 runs scored in 144 games played. Arenado remains a top-10 fantasy third baseman, but it's a bit concerning that he saw drops in average exit velocity, barrel rate and hard-hit percentage in 2023. Fantasy managers expecting him to return to the glory days are probably expecting too much.

Sat Sep 23 202310:17Cardinals Place Nolan Arenado On Injured List
The St. Louis Cardinals put third baseman Nolan Arenado (back) on the 10-day injured list due to lower-back spasms on Friday, ending his season. And thus brings to a close an inconsistent season for the 34-year-old, who bookended his year with two month-long slumps to start and finish it but offered strong hitting in between. It led to a respectable .266/.315/.459 slash line with 26 home runs, 93 RBI, and 26 doubles in 560 at-bats. Arenado always figures to identify a bit more with his glove, but his status as a perennial All-Star should keep him as a fixture in the top-third of 2024 fantasy drafts. He's as a good a bet as any for 30 homers and 100 RBI in any given year, and a formidable Cardinals lineup will look to rebound in 2024.

Wed Sep 20 202316:52Nolan Arenado Getting A Breather Wednesday
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is taking the day off on Wednesday against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers. With Arenado getting a breather, Juniel Querecuto will get the start at third base for the Cards and bat in the eight-hole against Brewers right-hander Adrian Houser. St. Louis is giving the 32-year-old All-Star some rest after the club was officially eliminated from playoff contention after their loss on Tuesday. Arenado is hitting .268/.317/.461 with 26 home runs, 93 RBI, three stolen bases and 71 runs scored in 557 at-bats in 2023 in his third year with the team. However, he's been slowing down of late and has gone 14-for-64 (.219) with no homers, two doubles, six RBI, nine strikeouts, a steal and 10 runs scored in 16 starts in the month of September.

Sun Aug 27 202312:02Nolan Arenado Back In Lineup On Sunday
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (back) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Aaron Nola. Arenado left Friday night's game early with lower-back tightness and sat out on Saturday, but he's feeling better now and will return for the series finale. Taylor Motter is starting at the hot corner and will bat in the nine-hole. In 15 career at-bats against Nola, Arenado is hitting .200 with one RBI. The eight-time All-Star is a must-start in fantasy lineups, and he's hitting .289 (24-for-83) with four home runs, four doubles, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored in 21 starts in the month of August.

Sat Aug 26 202316:46Nolan Arenado Out Of The Lineup On Saturday
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (back) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This comes a day after the veteran slugger left Friday's game due to back tightness. That being said, this appears to be a rest game to give Arenado another day to get back to full speed. Fantasy managers shouldn't have to worry about Arenado requiring a trip to the injured list. In his absence, Nolan Gorman will cover third base and bat cleanup versus right-hander Zack Wheeler on Saturday.

Fri Aug 25 202322:28Nolan Arenado Leaves With Lower-Back Tightness
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (back) left Friday night's game early against the Philadelphia Phillies due to lower-back tightness. Before leaving prematurely, Arenado went hitless in three at-bats to drop his season average to .281. He was replaced at the hot corner by Taylor Motter, who shifted over from second base. Fantasy managers should consider Arenado day-to-day for now, but there's a good chance he won't be in Saturday's lineup. The 32-year-old eight-time All-Star came into Friday's contest hitting .283/.331/.506 with an .838 OPS, 26 home runs, 87 RBI and 60 runs scored in 519 plate appearances and 122 games. If Arenado is forced to miss time, Motter will likely remain in the everyday lineup for St. Louis.

Thu Aug 3 202315:48Nolan Arenado Resting Against Twins
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is taking Thursday's game off against the visiting Minnesota Twins. With Arenado riding pine, rookie outfielder Jordan Walker will bat in the cleanup spot for the Cardinals against Twins right-hander Sonny Gray. Taylor Motter is at third base and is batting in the nine-hole. It's a normal day of rest for Arenado, who should be right back in the starting lineup for the start of a series on Friday against the visiting Colorado Rockies. Arenado is a must-start in fantasy when he's playing, but he's gone 3-for-26 with no homers, a double, one RBI and one run scored in his last seven games. Walker has also been cold in his last seven games with four hits in 21 at-bats.

Sat Jul 29 202321:32Cardinals Not Trading Nolan Arenado
According to St. Louis Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak, star third baseman Nolan Arenado will not be traded. "I have stated we are not trading him, have not asked him to waive his no-trade clause," said Mozeliak. "So, at this time, we are working on building for future success." With the Cardinals selling, there were rumors of Arenado being moved ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline on Monday. Los Angeles Dodgers were one of the teams that contacted the Cardinals about possibly acquiring Arenado. The 32-year-old will remain in St. Louis for the time being. Arenado is slashing .284/.332/.517 with 22 home runs, 77 RBI, 48 runs, and two stolen bases over 100 games in 2023.

Thu Jul 27 202318:17Dodgers Eyeing Nolan Arenado In Trade Talks
The Los Angeles Dodgers have reached out to the St. Louis Cardinals for trade discussions about third baseman Nolan Arenado, per Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times. While the Cardinals prepare to flip some of their expiring contracts at the deadline, it would be nothing short of shocking to see them part ways with the eight-time All-Star. Arenado is under contract until 2028 which includes a full no-trade clause. However, Castillo also hears Arenado would waive his no-trade clause to potentially join the Dodgers. It's no secret how disappointing St. Louis has been this season, but Arenado's stick has represented a bright spot with a .287 BA, 22 homers, 77 RBI, and two stolen bases through 380 at-bats. As it stands, fantasy managers might want to expect the five-time Silver Slugger to stay put with the Cards unless the trade whispers seriously start to heat up. Stay tuned.

Wed Jul 26 202315:09Nolan Arenado Resting Against Diamondbacks
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is taking the day off on Wednesday as the team takes on the Arizona Diamondbacks. Taylor Motter will get the start at the hot corner and bat seventh against Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen. Arenado retreats to the bench after having his eight-game hitting streak snapped on Tuesday night after an 0-for-4 performance with two strikeouts. During his eight-game streak, Arenado went 13-for-33 (.394) with two home runs, two doubles, 13 RBI and four runs scored in 36 plate appearances. The 32-year-old could be a trade candidate for disappointing Cardinals before Aug. 1. He remains a must-start in fantasy when he's on the field, as he's slashing .287/.335/.521 with an .856 OPS, 22 homers, 77 RBI, 48 runs and two steals in 380 at-bats.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman/designated hitter Nolan Arenado (leg) exited Saturday's meeting with the Cubs. The veteran went 1-for-3 with a run in this one. However, he fouled a ball off his lower left leg, causing it to stiffen. It's unknown if Arenado will be available for the series finale against Chicago on Sunday, although there's a good chance he won't be.

Wed Jul 12 202311:59Nolan Arenado Could Be On The Move
With the St. Louis Cardinals languishing in last place in the National League Central with the Aug. 1 trade deadline quickly approaching, All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado knows that he could be on the chopping block. "I've been traded once. I think that shocked a lot of people at that time," Arenado said. "I guess it doesn't surprise me anymore what happens in this game." The Cardinals have other players on expiring contracts that seem more likely to be moved, though, including left-hander Jordan Montgomery and right-hander Jack Flaherty. Despite the Cardinals' rough season, Arenado earned his eighth All-Star selection by hitting a strong .283 with 19 home runs and 62 RBI in the first half of the season.

Sat Jul 8 202311:10Nolan Arenado’s Two Home Runs Not Enough In Loss
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado went 2-for-5 with two homers and four RBI in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Chicago White Sox. The 32-year-old thumped a few two-run bombs in this one, but St. Louis lost anyway with Jordan Montgomery (hamstring) exiting early and the bullpen not up to the task. After a difficult spring, Arenado has done his part at the plate to keep the Cardinals afloat in the standings despite some uncharacteristically shaky defense. Since June 6, the 2023 All-Star is hitting .327 with a 1.079 OPS, nine goners, and 23 RBI across 98 at-bats. Arenado looks well on his way to another top-level positional fantasy finish. Hopefully fantasy managers bought low on the multi-time Silver Slugger while his stock was depressed earlier this year.

Thu Jun 29 202318:55Nolan Arenado Included In Thursday’s Lineup
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (back) is functioning as the designated hitter in Thursday's lineup against the Houston Astros after exiting Wednesday's game with lower-back stiffness. The 32-year-old admitted his back is still a "little irritated" to reporters before the game. However, it's evidently not enough to prevent Arenado from playing in this one. The perennial All-Star is batting cleanup against J.P. France in the series finale between these clubs. Fantasy managers should still monitor the situation going forward, as Arenado has experienced the back tightness since Tuesday.

Wed Jun 28 202321:51Nolan Arenado Leaves With Back Tightness
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (back) left Wednesday's game early against the Houston Astros with lower-back tightness and is day-to-day. The good news is that Arenado went 1-for-3 with his 16th home run of the season, three RBI and a run scored to help his fantasy managers before departing prematurely. He was replaced at the hot corner by Nolan Gorman, who slid over from second base. It's a good bet that Arenado won't be in the starting lineup for the series finale against Houston on Thursday, but hopefully he will be available for the start of a series against the New York Yankees on Friday. The 32-year-old remains one of the best bats in baseball and came into Wednesday's game hitting .272 (80-for-294) with 15 home runs, 51 RBI and 34 runs scored.

He's hitting .288 with four homers and 10 RBI over his past 15 contests.

Sat Jun 3 202309:44Nolan Arenado Continues Productive Rebound After Slow Start
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer on Friday, but the club was defeated by the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-5. The 32-year-old has experienced quite a bumpy ride in 2023. Arenado initially had an extended dreadful start to the year, hitting .242 (31-for-128) with two long balls for a weak .320 SLG over his first 32 games. The five-time Silver Slugger followed up with a ridiculous 14-game stretch, averaging .359 (23-for-64) with seven big flies for a .763 SLG over that time. In eight games before this Friday's bout, Arenado was hitting just .154 (4-for-26) with no homers for a .231 SLG. Fantasy managers are searching for some consistency out of the seven-time All-Star, who is now hitting .271 with 27 runs scored, 10 round-trippers, 38 RBI, and two stolen bases overall.

Thu May 25 202312:00Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado Resting
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and third baseman Nolan Arenado are both taking the day off on Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Luke Weaver. Fantasy managers will need to make sure both All-Star players are on their benches on Thursday for a matinee contest. Goldy has been his usual awesome self in 2023 with a .292 average (56-for-192) with 16 doubles, nine home runs, 25 RBI and seven stolen bases in 50 games. Arenado, meanwhile, has also been highly productive with a .264 average (52-for-197) with five doubles, a triple, nine home runs and 34 RBI in 49 games. Alec Burleson is starting at first base and hitting fifth on Thursday, while Brendan Donovan gets the nod at the hot corner and is batting third against Weaver.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado went 2-for-5 with a homer, a steal, and four RBI in a 9-1 rout of the Boston Red Sox on Sunday Night Baseball. Arenado has now homered in three consecutive games as he appears to be heating up at the dish. He ups his season slash line to .256/.302/.406 and now has six homers, 20 runs, 26 RBI, and two steals. It appears the buy-low window for Arenado has closed, as he looks to be on his way back to his usual numbers.
