Nolan Arenado Pulled From Game Due to Right Thumb Injury

Nolan Arenado was removed from Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins in the seventh inning due to right thumb inflammation. Before exiting, the 35-year-old third baseman went 1-for-3 at the plate. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but if he is forced to miss extended time, Ildemaro Vargas is expected to step in as the next man up to start at the hot corner for the Diamondbacks.
