Nolan Arenado homers, but Cardinals fall shortJuly 27, 2024 | 03:16 AM

Nolan Arenado went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the Cardinals' 10-8 loss to the Nationals. Writer's Analysis: His three-run shot contributed significantly to the team's scoring efforts, though it wasn't enough to secure a win. This performance slightly uplifts his season batting average to .266 and increases his RBI count to 45. While Arenado's power numbers are decent with 11 homers, his overall production this season has been somewhat inconsistent, reflected in his modest .308 wOBA. Fantasy managers should continue to view Arenado as a reliable option at third base, primarily due to his ability to drive in runs, but should temper expectations given the broader context of his hitting metrics this season.
