The St. Louis Cardinals are set to place star third baseman Nolan Arenado on the 10-day injured list due to a shoulder issue that has plagued him since early July. Despite his defensive prowess, Arenado's offensive performance suffered significantly, leading to a .175 batting average in July. His season batting average currently stands at .235, with 10 home runs and 43 RBIs. This injury marks only the fourth time in his 13-year career that he has been placed on the IL.

In a corresponding roster move, Nolan Gorman is expected to return from the 10-day injured list and take over the starting role at third base. Gorman, who has been on a rehab assignment, is looking to regain his momentum after a strong June. The Cardinals currently trail the San Diego Padres by five and a half games for the final NL Wild Card spot.
