Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado is back in the team's starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres. Arenado injured his thumb Wednesday, and though he didn't start Friday's game, he did serve as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning.
Arenado has played in all but one of the team's games since making his debut April 28. He owns a .271/.304/.418 line with 10 home runs and 47 RBI in 431 at-bats.
