Sets tone with grand slam
Arenado went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a stolen base in Monday's 9-0 win over the Rockies.
Analysis
Arenado set the tone early with a first-inning slam, allowing the Diamondbacks to cruise to the win. This was his fourth homer over nine games in August, and he's batting .250 (8-for-32) with eight RBI this month. The third baseman is hitting .242 with a .755 OPS, 18 homers, 58 RBI, 55 runs scored, 20 doubles and four steals over 113 contests this year, and he's trending up as Arizona remains in the thick of the playoff race.

Getting Wednesday off
Arenado is not in the Diamondbacks' starting lineup against the Padres on Wednesday, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
Analysis
Arenado will get a breather after going 2-for-7 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored over the first two games of the series against San Diego. Tim Tawa will draw the start at third base Wednesday and bat fifth.

Goes deep in Tuesday's loss
Arenado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Padres.
Analysis
Arenado got the Diamondbacks on the board with his homer off German Marquez in the seventh inning. The long ball was Arenado's second in the last four games. The third baseman is now batting .244 with a .753 OPS, 16 homers, 53 RBI, 53 runs scored, 20 doubles and three stolen bases over 108 contests last year, production that represents a slight bounce-back effort compared to last year.
