St. Louis Cardinals – September 2, 2025
St. Louis Cardinals superstar Nolan Arenado has shared his excitement and gratitude as he prepares to return from his shoulder injury that sidelined him since early August. Speaking about his upcoming comeback, Arenado vowed to deliver a standout performance for the fans who have supported him during his recovery.
“I can’t wait to get back on the field and give our fans something to cheer about,” Arenado said. “Their support while I was rehabbing meant so much to me, and I want to show my appreciation by playing at my best.”
Arenado also expressed his intention to connect personally with fans once he rejoins the Cardinals’ lineup. “When I return, I hope to celebrate with them a little, whether it’s through interactions at the ballpark or just making sure they feel part of this journey. They’ve stuck with me through the tough times, and I don’t take that for granted.”
The star third baseman is expected to resume team activities in mid-September, following a scheduled medical evaluation and pregame workout with team doctors in St. Louis. Cardinals management has indicated that, if all goes well, he will likely begin a short rehab assignment before fully rejoining the team.
With Arenado back in the lineup, the Cardinals hope to bolster their playoff push while fans eagerly anticipate the high-caliber performance and leadership the veteran brings. His commitment to both excellence on the field and appreciation for the fans underscores why Arenado remains one of St. Louis’ most beloved athletes.
