What's Happening?
Nolan Arenado, third baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals, is set to begin rehabilitation at the team's Spring Training facility in Jupiter, Florida. Arenado was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right shoulder strain. He will focus on strengthening drills and batting practice to recover his shoulder and regain his timing at the plate. The injury has affected his performance, with a notable decline in batting average and home runs.
Why It's Important?
Arenado's rehabilitation is crucial for the Cardinals as they seek to improve their lineup and overall team performance. His absence has allowed other players, such as Nolan Gorman, to gain more playing time at third base. Arenado's return could enhance the team's offensive capabilities, providing a boost in their pursuit of a better standing in the league. His recovery is also significant given his contract obligations and the team's investment in his performance.
