Summary
Nolan Arenado sits out Saturday’s game as a precaution after being hit by a pitch on the elbow Friday — a move that underscores the Diamondbacks’ commitment to protecting their veteran third baseman’s long-term health, even as he’s been hitting well this season. With a groin issue and a prior foul tip off his leg also in the mix, manager’s initial downplaying of the injury gave way to cautious benching. Rookie Jose Fernandez steps in again, delivering a solid performance in Arenado’s stead — three for five with two doubles and a run driven in. While Arenado’s not expected to miss time, the team’s prioritizing his durability, and his availability as a pinch-hitter remains uncertain.
