Nolan Arenado Resting Against Diamondbacks
1 year agoSt. 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.
