Nolan Arenado's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado provided one of the few bright spots in the team's 11-4 loss to the visiting division-rival Cincinnati Reds on Thursday, going 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a run scored and a strikeout. Arenado has missed several games over the last week with elbow and forearm injuries, but he's avoided a trip to the injured list and continues to produce modest numbers for his standards in 2024. The 33-year-old All-Star is now up to seven home runs while slashing .258/.313/.378 with a .691 OPS, 34 RBI and 27 runs scored in 283 at-bats. He has hit .260 (20-for-77) with two home runs, three doubles, eight RBI, six walks, 14 strikeouts, one stolen base and five runs scored in 21 games in the month of June.

After the St. Louis Cardinals' game against the visiting Atlanta Braves was postponed on Tuesday due to rain, third baseman Nolan Arenado (forearm) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday to face right-hander Reynaldo Lopez in Game 1 of a doubleheader. The 33-year-old All-Star has been beat up lately with forearm and elbow injuries, but he's back in action on Wednesday. However, there's a good chance Arenado will be held out for Game 2 against Atlanta. He's also hitting sixth in the batting order, which is the lowest he's hit in St. Louis' lineup in his four years with the team. The former second-rounder by the Colorado Rockies in 2009 has been struggling offensively in 2024 and enters Wednesday's double dip with a .257/.315/.371 slash line with only six home runs, 32 RBI and 26 runs scored in his 272 at-bats. Arenado has never faced Lopez in his career.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (forearm) is back at third base and is batting sixth in the order on Tuesday against the visiting Atlanta Braves and right-hander Reynaldo Lopez. Arenado has been beat up of late and missed the team's last two games due to left-forearm soreness. He also missed a game last week after being hit by a pitch in the elbow. The 33-year-old All-Star is back in there, though, albeit a little further down the batting order as he tries to turn his season around at the plate. Arenado has tailed off in the batting average department the last two years and is currently slashing only .257/.315/.371 with six home runs, 32 RBI and 26 runs scored in 71 games played. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting a return to the 30-homer mark in 2024 unless he goes on an absolutely crazy run at some point. He has never faced Lopez in his career.

The St. Louis Cardinals are hopeful that third baseman Nolan Arenado (forearm) will be able to avoid a stint on the injured list while dealing with left forearm nerve irritation, according to manager Oliver Marmol. Arenado has been battling the issue for some time but he reported feeling better on Monday, and the team hopes he can return to the lineup by the middle of the week. The 33-year-old All-Star is missing a second straight game on Monday against the visiting Atlanta Braves. Veteran Brandon Crawford is making another start at the hot corner and is batting eighth against Braves rookie right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach. Crawford has become a backup at this point in his career and is a poor DFS choice near the bottom of the lineup. He's also hitting just .196 (9-for-46) in his first year in St. Louis with a homer and three RBI.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (forearm) is not in the team's starting lineup on Sunday against the visiting San Francisco Giants and right-hander Logan Webb. Veteran Brandon Crawford will get the start at third base and will bat eighth against his former team. After missing a game this week already due to an elbow injury, Arenado is out of the lineup again after leaving Saturday's contest early with pain in his left forearm. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Monday to see if he's active for the series opener against the visiting Atlanta Braves. The 33-year-old veteran has been very mediocre for fantasy managers this year and is hitting .258 (17-for-66) with a homer, three triples, six RBI, a stolen base and four runs scored in 18 games in the month of June. Crawford should be avoided as a DFS sleeper in the eight-hole.
