Nolan Arenado Pulled Early on Tuesday With Groin Tightness
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Nolan Arenado (groin) was pulled from Tuesday night's game early in San Francisco against the Giants with right-groin tightness, according to the team. Before leaving early, Arenado went 1-for-2 at the plate with a run scored and a walk. He was replaced at the hot corner by Jose Fernandez in the seventh inning. We should know more about the severity of Arenado's injury on Wednesday after he's evaluated by the training staff. If the veteran third baseman is forced to the injured list, Fernandez would be the primary beneficiary of more playing time at the hot corner in Arizona. At the very least, fantasy managers should not expect Arenado to be active for Wednesday's game at Oracle Park. The eight-time All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger winner has cooled off of late and came into Tuesday hitting .219 (7-for-32) with a homer and seven RBI in nine games since May 16. The 14-year veteran has seen his offensive game decline rapidly over the last couple of seasons.
