Cardinals Anticipate Nolan Arenado’s Return for Playoff Push

The St. Louis Cardinals are gearing up for a crucial stretch of the season, with the impending return of All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado providing a much-needed boost. Arenado, who has been sidelined since the trade deadline at the end of July due to a shoulder injury, appears to be on the mend and could soon make his way back to the diamond.

Rehabilitation Progress

In recent days, there has been optimism regarding Arenado’s recovery. He has been diligently working on his rehabilitation, and signs indicate that he is making significant progress. According to MLB.com’s John Denton, Arenado is set for a rehab assignment with the Double-A Springfield Cardinals, likely beginning on Tuesday. This assignment will allow him to get back into game shape, with plans to participate for six days, allowing him to gauge his readiness for a return to the big leagues.

“Nolan Arenado, who rejoined the Cardinals today, hopes to join Double-Springfield on Tuesday and play there on a rehab assignment all or part of six days,” Denton reported. “Then, he hopes to be back with the Cardinals for the final two weeks of the regular season.”

Impact on the Team

Arenado’s absence has been felt by the Cardinals, who have struggled to maintain consistency throughout the season. His return could not come at a better time as the team looks to solidify its playoff aspirations. With only a few weeks left in the regular season, having a player of Arenado’s caliber back in the lineup could provide the spark the Cardinals need.

The All-Star third baseman’s prowess at the plate and his defensive skills are crucial for a team aiming for postseason success. His presence will not only enhance the Cardinals’ offensive output but also bolster their defensive lineup, solidifying their infield.

Looking Ahead

As the Cardinals navigate the final weeks of the season, the focus will remain on Arenado’s health and readiness. Fans and teammates alike are eager to see him back in action, contributing to a playoff push that could define the season. With expectations high, Arenado’s return could signal a pivotal turning point for the Cardinals as they aim to make a strong run in the final stretch of the regular season.
