EDGE Analysis

Arenado went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a walk in the first game of the day.

Arenado (back) is serving as the Cardinals' designated hitter and batting cleanup Thursday versus the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Arenado has been bothered by lower-back tightness since Tuesday and made an early exit from Wednesday's game because of it, but he feels well enough to fill the DH role in Thursday's series finale versus Houston. Nolan Gorman will cover third base and Brendan Donovan is playing second base.

The third baseman has seven hits, including three extra-base hits, in his last four games, and since the beginning of May he's slashing .305/.353/.590 with eight of his 10 homers on the season as he puts a sluggish start to 2023 behind him.
