Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado leaves win over Giants with right groin tightness
The Diamondbacks said Arenado felt tightness while running and is day to day, with no imaging planned after the seventh-inning exit.
- On Tuesday night, Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Nolan Arenado left the club's 7-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants in the seventh inning due to groin tightness, replaced by rookie Jose Fernandez.
- The injury developed gradually during the game, with tightness first appearing in the second inning while Arenado ran the bases and worsening in the sixth after he beat out a grounder.
- Both player and manager downplayed severity: Arenado stated "It was more precautionary than anything," while manager Torey Lovullo said he's "day to day" and the club expects him to be "OK."
- A groin strain will likely place Arenado on the 10-day injured list, forcing the Diamondbacks to choose between veteran Ildemaro Vargas and rookie Jose Fernandez at third base.
- His absence removes Arizona's top right-handed bat during an All-Star campaign, leaving rookie Ryan Waldschmidt as the primary power option after only two weeks in the majors, before a road series in Seattle and Dodgers matchup at Chase Field.
