Nolan Arenado held out of Rockies lineup for second straight day in series finale against Los Angeles

Nolan Arenado was held out of the Rockies lineup for the second straight day on Sunday due to shoulder soreness.

The all-star third baseman originally exited Friday’s game because of discomfort in his right shoulder after turning a double play in the third inning, and Arenado said the injury was initially caused by a bad habit he developed in which he wasn’t using his legs while he threw.

Colorado delayed posting its lineup in order to give Arenado more time to get to the ballpark and see how he felt.

“Day games, the guys get here a little bit later and we encourage them to sleep in the best they can,” manager Bud Black said pregame.
