Nolan Arenado MRI Another Blow to Injury-Ravaged Diamondbacks

Nolan Arenado has been one of the Arizona Diamondbacks' most reliable contributors all season.

The Arizona Diamondbacks continue to grapple with a string of injuries this season, with third baseman Nolan Arenado the latest to face a potential setback. In his 35th year, Arenado has been a reliable presence in the lineup, accumulating the third-most games played among his teammates. Despite his career-long dedication to avoiding days off, Arenado left Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves with torso discomfort.

He informed MLB.com's Rick Farlow that this issue may require an MRI before the Diamondbacks face the Boston Red Sox on Monday. If the MRI reveals a serious problem, it could mean Arenado will miss time, adding to the growing list of injuries affecting the Arizona team. Manager Torey Lovullo expressed relief at Arenado's recent performance, acknowledging the player's toughness and resilience.

However, the team faces a challenging situation if Arenado cannot continue to play through his current ailment. With multiple regulars now dealing with injuries, questions arise about how long the Diamondbacks can withstand this injury-heavy stretch.
