Cardinals Place Nolan Arenado on 10-Day Injured List With Shoulder Strain

The move ends Arenado’s challenging stretch at the plate, allowing controllable infielder Nolan Gorman to rejoin the lineup.

Overview

  • St. Louis moved the 10-time Gold Glove third baseman to the injured list on August 1 after he aggravated a shoulder issue.
  • Through 96 games this season, Arenado has slumped to a career-low .660 OPS and hit just .138 over his last eight contests.
  • Despite trade speculation and a full no-trade clause, the 34-year-old remained with the Cardinals when the July 31 deadline passed without a deal.
  • Twenty-five-year-old Nolan Gorman was activated off the IL to fill Arenado’s spot, bringing a team-controlled infield option through 2028.
  • The decision follows a selloff of veteran relievers and underscores the Cardinals’ shift toward younger talent in their ongoing rebuild.
