Nolan Arenado was hit by a pitch during the St. Louis Cardinals' loss to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday, knocking him out of the game with a right elbow contusion.
Arenado got hit by a pitch in the right elbow in the top of eighth inning and immediately went to the ground in pain. The Cardinals' training staff and manager Oliver Marmol ran out to the batter's box and helped the veteran back to the dugout.The game was tied 3-3 when Arenado got hurt and José Fermín took his spot in the lineup. The Marlins went on to score in the bottom of the ninth and clinch their second straight walk-off win over the Cardinals.
Those numbers suggest Arenado's streak of eight consecutive All-Star appearances could come to an end this summer. He ranked sixth among NL third baseman in All-Star votes as of Monday, and missing time with an elbow injury likely wouldn't help him make up any ground. The 33-year-old is a .285 hitter with an .862 OPS for his career, racking up 1,737 hits, 331 home runs, 1,093 RBI and a 54.4 WAR. He has won 10 Gold Gloves and five Silver Sluggers dating back to his rookie season with theIt remains to be seen if Arenado will need to spend any time on the injured list. He has appeared in 70 of the Cardinals' 73 regular season games thus far in 2024.Sam Connon is a Staff Writer for Fastball on the Sports Illustrated/FanNation networks.
