What's Happening?
Nolan Arenado, the Cardinals' third baseman, is expected to resume hitting later this week as he recovers from a right shoulder strain. Arenado has been undergoing rehabilitation at the Cardinals' spring training complex in Florida. Despite making progress, he has not yet resumed hitting or throwing. The anticipated timeline suggests Arenado might not return to play before September.
Why It's Important?
Arenado's return is crucial for the Cardinals as they aim to strengthen their lineup for the remainder of the season. His absence has impacted the team's performance, and his recovery could influence their playoff prospects. The delay in his return might affect the team's strategy and roster decisions in the coming weeks.
