Nolan Arenado Sitting On Saturday
2 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is not in Saturday's lineup as the Cardinals continue a series against the San Francisco Giants. Arenado got a day off on Thursday and will now get his second rest day of the week. Throughout his past 11 games, the 33-year-old has carried a strong .357/.404/.405 line with two doubles and five RBI. As a result, 22-year-old Thomas Saggese will get the nod at the hot corner and bat in the seven-hole. Arenado has enjoyed another solid campaign holding a .277/.325/.394 line with 16 home runs and two stolen bases. Saggese is worth a look in DFS this afternoon as he will face San Francisco right-hander Tristian Beck who should not be expected to last long in this start as he typically only logs two innings in each outing.
