Arenado's sore left knee 'nothing to worry about'
Arenado's sore left knee 'nothing to worry about'

DENVER -- Rockies star third baseman Nolan Arenado's slight limp began when he felt pain in his left knee during a pregame stretch during the Opening Series in Arizona, and it became more noticeable during the four-game series at San Diego. But two factors lead him to believe it won't cost him action: • He has been cleared medically: "I've already seen doctors," Arenado said. "It's just a little soreness. It's going to go away here soon. It's nothing to worry about." • During Friday's 8-3 loss to the Braves in Colorado's home opener at Coors Field, Arenado went 2-for-4 with a rare stolen base -- he swiped second base ahead of Carlos Gonzalez's triple in the first inning for only his 12th career steal -- and he finished the game on a day when the official game-time temperature was 27.
"If I could play through today, I can play through anything," quipped Arenado, who before the game received his fifth straight Gold Glove Award, plus a Platinum Glove Award, a Defensive Player of the Year Award and a Louisville Silver Slugger Award.
Through eight games, Arenado is hitting .276 with a home run, five RBIs, three doubles and an .854 OPS. He also has made several signature defensive plays. "Just pushing off sometimes, and if anything just stopping sometimes I feel it, but other than that I'm good and I'll be good again," he said.
