Nolan Arenado was not in Saturday’s lineup with what Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black called “a little bit of a sore side and a back issue.” Arenado did not pinch hit in Saturday’s 3-2 walkoff win over the Brewers and, after the victory, Black told the media that Arenado was “probably not” available to play in Sunday’s game.
Ryan McMahon took over at third base in Arenado’s absence on Saturday night.
Black said that Arenado first suffered the injury during the just-completed road series against the San Francisco Giants.
