Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Getting breather Thursday

Arenado is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the Mets.

Arenado's tenure in Arizona has not gotten off to the best start, as he's just 8-for-40 with no home runs and a 1:10 BB:K. Jose Fernandez will play third base and bat fifth for the Diamondbacks in Arenado's stead.
