Arenado Back in Lineup After Minor Arm Issue

Third baseman Nolan Arenado is returning to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners. He will be playing third base and batting cleanup.

Arenado was initially scratched from Friday's lineup due to discomfort from groin soreness. He made a brief appearance as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning but was forced to leave the game after being struck by a pitch on his arm.

Fortunately, neither the groin issue nor the contusion from the errant pitch are considered serious. Arenado's recent performance includes nine hits, one stolen base, five extra-base hits, and seven runs batted in over his last ten games.
