Nolan Arenado News
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is getting his first day off of the season on Sunday in the series finale against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers. In the first 39 games of the season, Arenado, much like the rest of St. Louis' lineup, has struggled with a career-low .703 OPS. The 33-year-old eight-time All-Star is slashing .270/.331/.372 with two home runs, nine doubles, 20 RBI and 14 runs scored in 166 plate appearances. In the first three games of the series against the Brewers, had one hit in 12 at-bats with three strikeouts. Fantasy managers will be hoping Arenado's first day off of the year can get him going. Brendan Donovan is starting at third base on Sunday and is hitting seventh against Brewers right-hander Bryse Wilson. Donovan is hitting .429 with two RBI in seven career at-bats against Wilson.
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado reached base five times in five plate appearances in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the White Sox. The veteran went 3-for-3 at the plate with a home run, two singles, and two walks, raising his season slashline to .296/.362/.408. The 33-year-old is having a solid season overall, although somewhat underwhelming based on the Arenado we've grown accustomed to. The 8x All-Star has seen his home run, RBI, and run totals drop in consecutive years now. With a 1.9% Barrel% this season, a career-low by far, the home runs may come few and far between, just like this last one. Saturday's home run was Arenado's first since April 12. He should remain a solid fantasy contributor nonetheless, so you're still using him in season-long formats.
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.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado had himself a solid season in 2023. The 32-year-old smacked 26 home runs to go along with 93 RBI across 144 games and a hefty 612 trips to the plate. While he finished a lost Cardinals season on the injured list (back spasms) it was yet another healthy campaign for the veteran. That said, his 144 games and 612 plate appearances were his fewest since 2014. He went from 42 doubles in 2022 to 28 in 2023 while his walk rate dropped to just 6.7%, his lowest since 2015. He also ranked in the 39th percentile or worse in average exit velocity, barrel rate, hard-hit rate, and sweet-spot rate. His defense was very good but both FanGraphs and Statcast delivered poorer grades than usual. Add it up and we have a veteran player who has been remarkably durable with plenty of wear and tear on his body. A rebound season isn't out of the question but Arenado represents a risky bet at a 97.26 ADP with younger third-base names such as Bregman, Jung, Steer, and Paredes lingering behind.
