Nolan Arenado Exits D-backs Game in Atlanta With Left Trunk Discomfort
Arenado left Arizona's game in Atlanta early with left trunk discomfort; no further details on severity or timeline have been reported.
Nolan Arenado exited the Diamondbacks' game in Atlanta early with left trunk discomfort, per Rick Farlow of MLB.com. No diagnosis, timetable, or additional detail has been reported.
The timing is worth noting. Arizona arrived in Atlanta already short-handed: Ketel Marte was scratched from Saturday's lineup with a left knee issue, one day after exiting a game early against the same Braves club with left knee soreness. Two of the more prominent bats in the Arizona lineup now carry active health questions heading into the same series.
What remains unconfirmed
The nature and severity of Arenado's left trunk discomfort have not been described. Whether he will be available for the next game is unconfirmed, and no IL move has been reported.
Arizona roster picture
The Diamondbacks made bullpen moves earlier the same day, selecting RHP Dennis Santana from Triple-A Reno and designating LHP Philip Abner for assignment. Jordan Lawlar could be activated from the IL in the coming days, per a prior report, and Justin Martinez is working his way back via rehab. Brandon Pfaadt, meanwhile, has not allowed an earned run in 32 2/3 consecutive innings — the rotation has been a stabilizing force while the roster picture around it stays fluid.
For now, Arenado's status is the item to watch.
