Overview

• Arenado returned to the clubhouse in Miami during the road series as he continues recovering from a right shoulder strain suffered at the end of July.
• His progression follows a set plan of light hitting, clearance to throw if pain-free, and eventual Minor League rehab games before any activation.
• He emphasized that he must be completely pain-free to advance and said his shoulder pain is decreasing.
• This season marks a career-worst offensive line for Arenado at .235/.294/.366 with 10 home runs and 43 RBIs, while his defense remains steady with a .988 fielding percentage.
• With St. Louis hovering below .500 and Nolan Gorman handling third base, a potential Arenado return could force a lineup decision as the club chases a narrow wild-card path.
