St. Louis All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado left the Cardinals’ Friday night road game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to lower back tightness.
Arenado was 0-for-3 before exiting. Nolan Gorman entered the game to play second base, with Taylor Motter moving to third to replace Arenado.
An eight-time All-Star, 10-time Gold Glove winner and six-time Platinum Glove winner, Arenado is hitting .281 with 26 homers and 87 RBIs this season.
Arenado, 32, is in his third season with the Cardinals after eight seasons with the Colorado Rockies, who selected him in the second round of the 2009 draft.
