Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Shut down with back spasms

The Cardinals placed Arenado on the 10-day injured list Friday with lower-back spasms.

This will wind up being a season-ending issue for the 32-year-old third baseman, who finishes with a .266/.315/.459 slash line, 26 home runs, 26 doubles and 93 RBI in 144 games. Jose Fermin, Juniel Querecuto and Irving Lopez are available to fill in at the hot corner over the Cardinals' final nine games.
