Nolan Arenado Suffers Hand Injury

By Connor Byrne | August 13, 2017 at 3:32pm CDT

3:32pm: Good news for the Rockies: X-rays came back negative on Arenado, who has a left hand contusion, tweets Saunders.

2:34pm: Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado left the team’s game Sunday in Miami in “considerable pain” after taking a pitch off the left hand from Marlins starter Vance Worley, according to Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post. The extent of the injury is unknown at the moment, but it’s the second scare in as many days involving a National League superstar. Nationals right fielder Bryce Harper suffered a knee injury on Saturday, leading to a placement on the disabled list, though there’s hope that he’ll be back within a few weeks.

Arenado, like Harper, is an indispensable member of his team. He’s also the face of a Colorado club that owns a 65-51 record, giving it a 4.5-game lead on a wild-card spot. The Rockies appear bound for the playoffs for the first time since 2009, which is thanks in no small part to Arenado. The 26-year-old has been among the majors’ top players since his breakout campaign, 2014, and has continued his standout play this season. Thus far, Arenado has batted a robust .311/.361/.585 with 26 home runs and a major league-best 100 runs batted in across 497 plate appearances. He’s again delivering incredible value at the hot corner, too, with 17 defensive runs saved and a 6.5 Ultimate Zone Rating. Arenado’s two-way excellence has led to a 3.9 fWAR, which ranks 11th among NL position players.

After Arenado exited Sunday, the Rockies brought shortstop Trevor Story off the bench to take his place. Third base options on their roster include the just-promoted Ryan McMahon, Pat Valaika and Alexi Amarista.

    The part of the game I hate. I hate to see any player injured, but it’s worse when truly great players like Harper and Arenado go down. Even as Giant’s fan, with these guys being competitors, I hate to see them injured.

    Looks like Goldschmidt’s main competition for MVP is gone with Harper and Arenado both likely to miss a good chunk of the rest of the year

      Where did you get that Arenado would be missing a good chunk of the year?

      Goldy has a really good case, but I’m of the opinion that, as things stand, Rendon should win the NL award

      Sad that you think like this. I hate it when big stars get injured. They are the reason why we watch this sport.

        How so? There are fans who love to gain advantage over another team anyway they can. You don’t think their were Dodger fans who also got excited after hearing the news? I’m not saying they want to see guys hurt, but they know that Harper/Arenado are very important pieces for their respective teams. It sucks but it that is reality!

      Why would they celebrate? If they meet in the playoffs it would be after winning the wildcard game, then a series against the dodgers and then if the nats won their series they would face them… Otherwise Harper has zero to do with the Rockies.
