ABOUT NOLAN ARENADO

The six-time Platinum Glove winning third baseman has been sidelined since August 1 with a shoulder strain and is expected to play in multiple games during the Springfield Cardinals' final regular season homestand of the 2025 season. This marks the first time since August 30, 2012 that Arenado plays at Hammons Field. During the 2012 season, then in the Colorado Rockies Minor League system, he played 134 games for the Tulsa Drillers as a Texas League Midseason All-Star and MLB Future's Game Selection.

ABOUT BRENDAN DONOVAN

The 2025 National League All-Star returns to the Springfield for the first time since 2021. In 50 games for the SpringBirds, Donovan slashed .319/.411/.449 with 28 RBI. Since his time in the Minors, the infielder has solidified himself on the Major League roster, hitting .280 across four seasons. This past July, he was named an All-Star for the first time in his career after hitting .297 and slugging eight home runs for St. Louis across 89 games before the break. This will mark the first time he rehabs with Double-A Springfield.

Springfield is in the midst of their most successful regular season in team history, currently with an ever-growing franchise-record 84 wins heading into play Tuesday. With a First-Half North Division Championship under their belt, Springfield is set to host games two and three on Thursday, September 18 and Friday, September 19 (if necessary) of the North Division Championship Round at Hammons Field against a divisional opponent yet to be determined.
