Cardinals' Nolan Arenado Remains Out Ahead of Nationals Series
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado Remains Out Ahead of Nationals Series originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the Cardinals continue to struggle, fans will be left disappointed to know that one of the team's biggest stars remains sidelined. Advertisement Nolan Arenado was once again held out of the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Nationals. The third baseman, dealing with a right shoulder impingement, missed the final two games of the weekend series against the Cubs. Although the team's day off on Monday gave him an extra day of rest, it wasn't enough to get him back in the starting lineup. Manager Oliver Marmol told reporters that Arenado is feeling better and the team hopes to avoid placing him on the 10-day injured list. However, his status remains uncertain, with more clarity expected Wednesday, according to The Athletic's Katie Woo.

Although, the game has been pushed back due to a weather delay the team recently announced, with more information available soon. Still, some fans are confused by the club's approach to the situation. 'Why not just put him on the IL?' one user posted to X. 'Something's clearly wrong. Best not to go with a short bench.' Another fan echoed the same, 'I agree about putting Arenado on the IL. Give him through the All-Star Break to heal.' The Cardinals have yet to make a final decision, but with the All-Star break approaching, a more definitive update is expected soon to clear up the uncertainty. Advertisement Fans are hopeful Arenado will return to the lineup soon, giving Cardinal Nation at least something to cheer about before the break.

Detroit's 11-2 win at Nationals Stadium came amid a flurry of news updates for a team that has battled injuries all season, heading towards a much-needed rest.

"RHP Dylan Smith was optioned to Triple-A follow this afternoon's game." Advertisement Malloy played his college ball with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and was the 187th overall pick of the Atlanta Braves in the 2021 MLB draft. The 25-year-old right fielder hit .203 with the Tigers last season along with eight home runs and hasn't improved his average much since, hitting .215 in 93 at-bats this season, although his on-base percentage has improved significantly. The Tigers' offense has shown signs of ratcheting things up to the next level with Riley Greene leading the charge on Wednesday. Greene hit a three-run home run that set the tone for the Tigers in a six-run first inning that ultimately gave AJ Hinch's team the cushion it needed to take the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader. Advertisement He finished with two homers and six runs batted in on the day, picking up the slack for injured Tigers slugger Kerry Carpenter.

Cardinals' Contreras Sustains Left Hand Contusion When Hit by Pitch From Pirates Ace Skenes
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras sustained a left hand contusion after being hit by a pitch by Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes while leading off the fourth inning of Tuesday night's 1–0 loss to the Pirates. Contreras stayed in the game to run the bases and was thrown out at home plate by Pirates left fielder Tommy Pham to end the inning while trying to score from second base on Pedro Pages' single. Contreras had X-rays on the hand, and they came back negative. He and Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said it is doubtful that the three-time All-Star will play in the teams' series finale on Wednesday. Contreras was replaced in the bottom of the fourth by Alec Burleson, who shifted from left field. Garrett Hampson took over in left. Contreras is hitting .248 in 82 games with 11 home runs and 51 RBIs. The 33-year-old Contreras sustained a season-ending fractured left middle finger last Aug. 24 when he was hit by a pitch. 'When I get hit in the arm or hand, I get a little worried,' Contreras said. 'I think I'm going to be OK, just a day or two (off).' The Cardinals are off Thursday before opening a three-game series Friday in Chicago against the Cubs.
