Nolan Arenado absent from Rockies' lineup Wednesday afternoon
Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado is not starting in Wednesday afternoon's series finale versus right-hander Mike Leake and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
What It Means:
It looks like a routine breather for Arenado, who hit a 2-run dinger on Tuesday in an 8-7 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He's slashing .302/.361/.557 with 31 homers, 96 RBI, 2 steals, and 81 runs scored in 529 plate appearances this season. Ryan McMahon is moving to the hot corner and cleaning up on Wednesday. Garrett Hampson is starting on second base.
numberFire's models expect Arenado to record 7 homers, 22 RBI, and 20 runs scored over the rest of the season.
