    • Quiet in return
      Arenado went 1-for-8 over both games of Wednesday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.

      Advice: Arenado played all 18 innings Wednesday at third base in his return from a left forearm injury. He didn't make much of an impact at the plate, but it's encouraging to see the 33-year-old play both halves of the twin bill. He's down to a .254/.310/.364 slash line with six home runs, 32 RBI, 26 runs scored and one stolen base over 73 contests this year. The Cardinals have occasionally used Brandon Crawford and Brendan Donovan at the hot corner, and they could continue to be an option there if Arenado is out of the lineup or limited to designated hitter at any point in the future, as his forearm issue is believed to be a lingering one.

    • Back in lineup, batting sixth
      Arenado (forearm) will start at third base and bat sixth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.

      Advice: Arenado had been set to return Tuesday from a left forearm injury before that game was rained out, but he'll remain in the lineup for the makeup game. The sixth spot in the batting order represents the lowest that Arenado has slotted in his four seasons with the Cardinals. He's slashing just .257/.315/.371 on the season and hasn't hit a home run since June 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:26 am
       
    • Tallies 12th homer
      Paredes went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Mariners.

      Advice: Paredes went yard in the eighth inning to tally his 12th homer of the season and only his second since May 31. He's hit only .229 in that span with nine RBI and six runs scored. Despite the slow stretch, Paredes still has a .821 OPS and .358 wOBA for the season. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:56 pm

    • Back in lineup
      Arenado (forearm) is playing third base and batting sixth Tuesday against Atlanta.

      Advice: Arenado missed a pair of games with left forearm soreness, but he's back in the starting nine for Tuesday's contest. Prior to the injury, Arenado was batting 17-for-66 (.258) in June with six RBI and four runs. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:10 pm
       
    • Nolan Arenado returns on Tuesday vs. Braves
      Nolan Arenado (forearm) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Braves.

      Advice: Arenado missed two consecutive games while dealing with a nerve issue in his left forearm. The 33-year-old is back in action, but he was moved down to sixth in the lineup. Brandon Crawford retreats to the bench with Arenado back in the fold. Rotoworld Tuesday, 12:00 pm
       
    • Expected back soon
      Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that he's optimistic Arenado (forearm) will be ready to return to the lineup in the coming days, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Arenado will miss a second straight start Monday against Atlanta with a left forearm issue, which is evidently something that's bothered the third baseman off and on throughout the season. However, he's feeling better following an injection and was working out on the field pregame Monday. Brandon Crawford will get a second straight start at the hot corner in Arenado's place.

    • Nolan Arenado (forearm) eyes midweek return
      Nolan Arenado took grounders on the field prior to Monday’s game and could rejoin the Cardinals’ lineup in the next few days.

      Advice: Arenado is out of the lineup for a second straight game due to left forearm nerve irritation, but it looks like the injection he had over the weekend is helping. Brandon Crawford is again playing third base tonight. Rotoworld Monday, 1:54 pm
       
    • Remains out Monday
      Arenado (forearm) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Arenado will miss a second straight start after he exited Saturday's 9-4 win over the Giants with left forearm discomfort. He received an injection to help combat the pain and is considered day-to-day. Brandon Crawford will make another start at third base Monday in Arenado's stead. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:51 pm
       
    • Nolan Arenado not in the lineup on Monday
      Nolan Arenado (forearm) is not in the Cardinals’ lineup on Monday against the Braves.

      Advice: Arenado received an injection over the weekend while he deals with a nerve issue in his left forearm. He was hit by a pitch in Saturday’s game, but that was in his right elbow so it’s unclear what prompted the issue in his left forearm. The Cardinals are continuing to evaluate him to decide if he should go on the IL or not. Rotoworld Monday, 12:51 pm
