"Nolan was removed from the game for right groin tightness," Lovullo said. "I just told him, 'Let's be smart about it.' He said, 'I can go out and keep playing if you want me to.' Max did a really good job, our trainer here, made a couple really nice comments. And then I just jumped in and said, 'Let's just be smart. Let's get you off the field and see how you feel.'
"He's day-to-day so we will see how he feels tonight and tomorrow morning."
The Diamondbacks have enjoyed having Arenado on the team this season. Arizona acquired Arenado in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals during the offseason. The 35-year-old is hitting .271/.351/.459 across 51 games played with the Diamondbacks so far this season.
Arenado also addressed his injury concern after the game, via Alex Weiner.
