Arenado Returns as D-backs Fight Back | Phoenix News

Nolan Arenado’s back in the lineup as DH, batting fifth, after missing two games with left trunk discomfort — a crucial move as the Diamondbacks try to avoid a series sweep. Hitting 20 homers this season (his first time since 2023), he’s not yet ready to play third base at full speed, but hopes a Thursday off will get him there by Friday. With Ketel Marte sidelined for personal reasons, Jose Fernandez gets another start at third and Ildemaro Vargas handles second. The team needs a win today to turn things around — and Arenado’s bat could be the spark they need. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
