ATLANTA (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Nolan Arenado left their game against the Braves after running out a grounder in the top of the fourth inning Sunday.

Arenado, who hit two home runs in a 10-3 win over Atlanta the previous night, appeared to pull up as he was running to first. The team said he was removed from the game with left trunk discomfort.

Arenado was replaced in the bottom half of the inning by Ildemaro Vargas, who homered in the seventh to tie the game at 2.

Arenado, an eight-time All-Star, is hitting .241 with 20 homers and 62 RBIs this season.
