Nolan Arenado reached 2,000 career hits Monday night when the Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman doubled to left field against the Athletics at Chase Field. The 35-year-old connected on a fastball from Jeffrey Springs in the fifth inning and received a lengthy standing ovation.

He becomes the sixth active player with at least 2,000 hits, joining Freddie Freeman, Jose Altuve, Andrew McCutchen, Paul Goldschmidt and Manny Machado. The 10-time Gold Glove winner is in his first year with the Diamondbacks after an injury-filled 2025 season.

Arenado entered Monday hitting .244 with a .739 OPS and 13 homers. He played his first eight seasons with the Colorado Rockies and five with the St. Louis Cardinals. One of the best third basemen of his generation, he owns a .280 career average with 366 homers and 1,228 RBIs.
