Arenado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Arenado has recorded a trio of multi-hit efforts over his last four games, a span that also includes all three of his homers this season. The third baseman is still batting just .224 on the year, adding a .605 OPS, 11 RBI, seven runs scored and a double over 18 contests. Arenado is handling a starting role at the hot corner but is not off to a particularly strong start in 2026, which suggests he may struggle to rebound from his career-low .666 OPS from 2025 with the Cardinals.

Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Turns back clock in two-homer game
Rotowire
Arenado went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Monday's loss to Baltimore.
It was the 25th career multi-homer showing by the veteran third baseman, who also piled up at least five RBI for the 11th time in his decorated career. Arenado's days as a high-end fantasy producer may have passed, as he's still off to a miserable start in his Diamondbacks tenure overall. Through 54 at-bats, Arenado is hitting .204 with three extra-base hits, eight RBI, one walk and six runs scored.
Arenado is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the Mets.
Arenado's tenure in Arizona has not gotten off to the best start, as he's just 8-for-40 with no home runs and a 1:10 BB:K. Jose Fernandez will play third base and bat fifth for the Diamondbacks in Arenado's stead.

Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Rotowire
Arenado isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Arenado will sit down for the first time this season after going just 2-for-16 (.125) with five strikeouts over Arizona's first four games. His absence will allow Jose Fernandez to start at third base and bat sixth in what will be Fernandez's MLB debut.
Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Serves as cleanup batter
Rotowire
Arenado batted fourth and went 1-for-3 with a double and three RBI in Friday's spring game against Milwaukee.
Arenado's bases-loaded, two-out grounder down the third base line made it into the corner in left field and cleared the bases in the second inning. This was Arenado's second game back from the World Baseball Classic, and he's delivered five runs on two doubles from the cleanup spot. This late in spring training, a batting order tends to resemble what it might look like on Opening Day, so it appears Arenado will be in a spot to drive in runs in 2026. The 34-year-od third baseman (who turns 35 in April) is looking to bounce back from two sub-par seasons with St. Louis with a fresh start in the desert.
Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Homers in preseason opener
Rotowire
Arenado went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's Cactus League opener against the Rockies.
It might seem odd that a starting position player would play in the first spring game, but Arenado needs to get the work in before suiting up for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic. Arenado is looking for a bounce-back season in the desert after two consecutive seasons of diminished power.
