Arenado Exits Game With Torso Injury, MRI Expected

Nolan Arenado was removed from Sunday's game against the Braves in the fourth inning after experiencing left trunk discomfort while swinging. He told reporters post-game that he would likely get an MRI and said he was worried because he had never felt that type of soreness before. Arenado noticed something was off while putting on his leg guard before the at-bat, and he looked uncomfortable running to first base on a groundout. A potential IL stint would be a significant blow to Arizona's wild card push, with Ildemaro Vargas and Tim Tawa as the likely fill-ins at third base.
