Arenado has been playing through a right finger issue that cropped up over the weekend when he jammed it on the basepaths. The 34-year-old defensive wizard will get Tuesday’s game off to rest and recover with Nolan Gorman taking over at the hot corner for the second straight game. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment.

Pallante struck out three and walked two. Andrew McCutchen was actually responsible for those two walks and the lone hit; everyone else in the Pirates lineup combined to go 0-for-20 while Pallante was in the game. Alas, it was still scoreless when Pallante’s night came to an end, and Phil Maton went on to give up a run in the eighth. Pallante, now sporting a 4.10 ERA, probably won’t pitch again until next Tuesday against the Nationals, as the Cardinals have two off days coming up.

Contreras has been diagnosed with a contusion and is day-to-day for the moment. The Cardinals aren’t completely out of the woods yet, but it’s undoubtedly a positive sign that initial X-rays didn’t reveal any fractures. There should be a definitive update on the 33-year-old’s status heading into Wednesday’s showdown in Pittsburgh, but early indications are that he’s avoided serious injury.

Ugh. Contreras left the contest in the fourth inning after being plunked by a 99 mph fastball from Pirates ace Paul Skenes. He stayed in the game initially to run the bases, but was lifted for a defensive replacement in the bottom of the frame. He’ll presumably head for X-rays to determine whether he suffered any fractures. There should be an update on his status shortly.

Whitcomb gets the call to replace Jeremy Peña on Houston’s active roster after the starting shortstop hit the injured list earlier this week with a small fracture in his left ribs. The 26-year-old offers some defensive versatility, and has put up some monster numbers at the Triple-A level the past few years. However, he’s been unable to put it together at the highest level and carve out a semi-permanent role. The talent is there and he’ll continue getting chances to make it as a utility specialist.

Willi Castro is getting the nod over Harrison Bader in left. Kody Clemens is also out of the lineup after starting against most right-handers in recent weeks. Clemens could get some starts at second against righties if Lee cools off, but Lee is the definite starter for now after hitting .348/.375/.533 over 96 plate appearances in June.

Suárez gave the D-backs some cushion with a solo shot in the eighth inning to extend Arizona’s lead to 4-2. The 33-year-old bopper now has 26 homers on the season, and he’s up to 69 RBI on the season. Suárez is the subject of trade rumors, and it’s important to note that his power can play at any park. Having a chance to drive in runs for a contending team — assuming the Diamondbacks aren’t by the end of next month — wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.
