Nolan Arenado Included In Thursday’s Lineup
10 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (back) is functioning as the designated hitter in Thursday's lineup against the Houston Astros after exiting Wednesday's game with lower-back stiffness. The 32-year-old admitted his back is still a "little irritated" to reporters before the game. However, it's evidently not enough to prevent Arenado from playing in this one. The perennial All-Star is batting cleanup against J.P. France in the series finale between these clubs. Fantasy managers should still monitor the situation going forward, as Arenado has experienced the back tightness since Tuesday.
