Sitting again Friday
Arenado (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.
Analyse
Arenado was a late scratch from Thursday's game due to thumb inflammation, and he'll need at least one more day off to recover. Jose Fernandez will pick up another start at third base and bat sixth.

Dealing with thumb injury
Arenado is dealing with right thumb inflammation, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analyse
Arenado was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup versus San Francisco, and there was some speculation that it was due to his previous left side injury. The third baseman instead has a new injury altogether, and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Scratched from lineup
Arenado (undisclosed) was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Giants, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analyse
Arenado was set to start at third base and bat sixth in the series opener, but he will now be forced to sit. The 35-year-old was dealing with a left side/intercostal injury last week, and it is unclear if Thursday's absence is related to that injury or potentially something new. More information on Arenado's status will likely be provided in the near future, but in the meantime, Jose Fernandez will draw the start at the hot corner versus San Francisco.

Pops homer in loss
Arenado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and three total runs scored in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Reds.
Analyse
Arenado is up to 21 homers this season, including seven over 17 games in August. He's hitting .254 (16-for-63) with 15 RBI this month. The third baseman is batting .243 with a .768 OPS through 121 contests. Arenado battled an intercostal injury earlier in the week, but he looks set to play through it with little impact on his performance -- he's hit safely in three straight games since he returned from missing two contests due to the injury.
