Nolan Arenado News
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer on Friday, but the club was defeated by the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-5. The 32-year-old has experienced quite a bumpy ride in 2023. Arenado initially had an extended dreadful start to the year, hitting .242 (31-for-128) with two long balls for a weak .320 SLG over his first 32 games. The five-time Silver Slugger followed up with a ridiculous 14-game stretch, averaging .359 (23-for-64) with seven big flies for a .763 SLG over that time. In eight games before this Friday's bout, Arenado was hitting just .154 (4-for-26) with no homers for a .231 SLG. Fantasy managers are searching for some consistency out of the seven-time All-Star, who is now hitting .271 with 27 runs scored, 10 round-trippers, 38 RBI, and two stolen bases overall.
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and third baseman Nolan Arenado are both taking the day off on Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Luke Weaver. Fantasy managers will need to make sure both All-Star players are on their benches on Thursday for a matinee contest. Goldy has been his usual awesome self in 2023 with a .292 average (56-for-192) with 16 doubles, nine home runs, 25 RBI and seven stolen bases in 50 games. Arenado, meanwhile, has also been highly productive with a .264 average (52-for-197) with five doubles, a triple, nine home runs and 34 RBI in 49 games. Alec Burleson is starting at first base and hitting fifth on Thursday, while Brendan Donovan gets the nod at the hot corner and is batting third against Weaver.
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado went 2-for-5 with a homer, a steal, and four RBI in a 9-1 rout of the Boston Red Sox on Sunday Night Baseball. Arenado has now homered in three consecutive games as he appears to be heating up at the dish. He ups his season slash line to .256/.302/.406 and now has six homers, 20 runs, 26 RBI, and two steals. It appears the buy-low window for Arenado has closed, as he looks to be on his way back to his usual numbers.

Arenado has put all of the worries about how he'll perform outside of Coors Field completely to bed after a monstrous 2022 season where he hit 30 homers and drove in 103, adding big time numbers to his hall-of-fame career's line. He also brought the batting up to .293, a welcome sign after that had taken a dip away from Denver. He posted his best barrel rate since 2017 (8.5%) and took his strikeout rate down to a ridiculous mark of 11.7% (seventh best in the league). He and teammate Paul Goldschmidt were forces to be reckoned with and they both really helped each other's counting stats hitting back-to-back in the order. Nolan has now gone seven straight seasons (ignoring 2020) with 100+ RBI and hitting at least 30 homers. He's as solid as they come. The only knock on him is the potential downside in batting average (he hit .255 in 2021), and the lack of steals (career-high five). Those realities keep him out of the first couple of rounds, but Arenado is a great consolation prize at third base if you miss out on the top tier. It's a thin position, and Arenado makes for a great fifth or sixth-round pick to keep the arrow pointing up for your fantasy team at the hot corner.
