Cardinals Place Nolan Arenado on 10-Day IL With Shoulder Strain

A career-low batting line reflects Arenado’s slump in a season defined by the Cardinals’ youth-driven rebuild.

Overview

  • Arenado was sidelined on August 1 with a right shoulder strain, marking his second injured list stint as a Cardinal and the fourth of his 13-year career.
  • His full no-trade clause blocked a proposed deal with the Astros and no other trade materialized before Thursday’s non-deadline window closed.
  • Through 96 games this season, Arenado has recorded a .235 batting average and .660 OPS, both the lowest marks of his big-league tenure.
  • St. Louis activated 25-year-old Nolan Gorman from the 10-day IL to assume third base duties under a long-term control framework through 2028.
  • The club also promoted right-handers Ryan Fernandez, Andre Granillo and Roddery Muñoz to bolster a bullpen reshaped by deadline trades of veteran relievers.
