Nolan Arenado went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in the Cardinals' 6-3 victory over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

This performance reflects a consistent season for Arenado, who has maintained a .272 batting average through 152 games. His ability to contribute hits and drive in runs, as evidenced by his 71 RBI and 157 hits, including 23 doubles and 16 homers, underscores his value in fantasy lineups. Despite a modest strikeout rate and walk rate, his wOBA of 0.308 indicates a solid offensive contribution. Fantasy managers should continue to view Arenado as a reliable option at third base, especially in formats that reward extra-base hits and RBIs.
