Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Dealing with shoulder soreness
Rotowire
Arenado exited Friday's game against Seattle due to shoulder soreness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Arenado exited in favor of a pinch hitter in the ninth inning after he had difficulty swinging a bat. It's unclear if the injury will cause him to miss additional time, but Jose Fermin would likely pick up playing time at the hot corner in that scenario.
