Arizona third baseman Nolan Arenado left Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves in the fourth inning after feeling discomfort in his left trunk. He said the pain began while he was bending over in the batter's box and became more noticeable after he swung.

阿里纳多因左侧躯干不适退赛，令响尾蛇队担忧
亚利桑那响尾蛇队三垒手诺兰·阿里纳多在周日对亚特兰大勇士队的5比3失利中，于第四局因左侧躯干不适退场。他说，疼痛最初出现在他在打击区弯腰时，挥棒后变得更明显。
阿里纳多表示自己对此感到担心，因为此前从未有过这种疼痛。赛后他把不适描述为左侧肋骨附近的肋间区域问题，并说接下来会接受核磁共振检查以确认伤情。
主教练托雷·洛夫洛说，阿里纳多通常不愿主动离场，球队对此也非常重视。伤情发生时，亚利桑那正在激烈争夺季后赛席位，而阿里纳多本赛季首次效力响尾蛇队，一直是球队的重要打者之一。
