Report: Luis Arraez traded to the Phillies

SF 2nd Baseman #1

Player Stats

MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reports that the Phillies are set to acquire 2B Luis Arraez and RHP Caleb Kilian from the Giants for minor league RHPs Ramon Marquez and Marty Gair.

Arraez is continuing to do what he’s always done and hit, slashing .324/.360/.440 on the season for the Giants with four home runs, 52 runs scored, and 10 steals. What’s new this year is that he’s playing tremendous defense at second base. Which begs the question of what’s next for the Phillies? The Phillies have Bryson Stott at second base, Bryce Harper at first base, and Kyle Schwarber at DH, so there don’t seem to be any openings for Arraez. They could opt to move Bryce Harper back to the outfield, or perhaps Stott or third baseman Alec Bohm will be headed somewhere else today.

Luis Arraez

PHI 2nd Baseman #4

Luis Arraez (ankle) is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Rays.

Arraez will sit out his second straight contest after suffering a left ankle sprain earlier this week. It’ll be Bryson Stott taking over once against the keystone in his absence. The contact-oriented 29-year-old’s status for next week’s potential NL Wild Card Series matchup appears to be in serious jeopardy. Of course, the Phillies need to hold off the Diamondbacks this weekend if they’re going to punch their ticket to the postseason.
Luis Arraez

PHI 2nd Baseman #4

Luis Arraez (ankle) was held out of the Phillies’ starting lineup for Friday night’s battle against the Rays.

The Phillies haven’t provided any updates on his status yet, but the fact that he hasn’t been placed on the injured list leaves hope that they expect him to return for the NLDS, even if he misses the final weekend of the regular season. His availability will ultimately depend on how much he’s able to improve over the next few days.
Luis Arraez

PHI 2nd Baseman #4

Phillies’ skipper Don Mattingly told reporters after Thursday’s game that X-rays on the injured left ankle of Luis Arraez came back negative for any fractures.

That’s certainly encouraging. He’ll be reevaluated on Friday to determine his availability for the weekend and the postseason. All fantasy managers and Phillies’ fans can do now is wait and hope for the best. Expect another update on his status on Friday afternoon.
Luis Arraez

PHI 2nd Baseman #4

Luis Arraez was removed from Thursday’s battle against the Brewers due to a left ankle sprain.

Arrez was trying to avoid a collision with Jake Bauers while running to first base when he stepped awkwardly and went down in a heap. He had to be helped off the field and was unable to put any weight on his left leg. He’ll head for further evaluation. There’s definitely concern that he won’t be ready for the Wild Card series and could be looking at an extended absence.
Luis Arraez

PHI 2nd Baseman #4

Luis Arraez went 0-for-4 as the Phillies’ cleanup hitter Wednesday against the Brewers.

Arraez hasn’t given the Phillies much of a lift with his .283/.314/.376 line in 45 games with the team, but what really matters is how he performs in October. He’s also still currently in line to win the NL batting title, though he dropped to .312 tonight. He hadn’t finished a game that low since May 14. Gabriel Moreno (.307) and Otto Lopez (.304) have the best chance of catching him.
Caleb Kilian

PHI Relief Pitcher #44

Phillies transferred RHP Caleb Kilian from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list.

It sounded like Kilian might make it back during the regular season, but this rules it out. He’s been out since suffering an oblique strain on Aug. 9.
Luis Arraez

PHI 2nd Baseman #4

Luis Arraez singled and scored Philadelphia’s lone run in a 2-1 loss to the Astros on Thursday afternoon.

He broke up Cristian Javier’s no-hitter in the fifth inning and came around to score on a Bryson Stott fielder’s choice. Arraez is hitting .298/.317/.397 since joining the Phillies with two homers and no stolen bases, but he has managed 15 RBI while mostly hitting out of the four hole.

Luis Arraez is absent from the Phillies’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s showdown against the Angels in Los Angeles.

The Phillies will get Arraez a breather with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi taking the mound for the Angels. Bryson Stott will slide over and cover second base while Edmundo Sosa draws a start at third base and will bat fifth for the Phillies.

PHI 2nd Baseman #4

Luis Arraez (lower body) is back in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Mariners.

Arraez is at second base and hitting cleanup after missing Sunday’s series finale against the Cardinals with a lower-body issue. The contact-oriented 29-year-old is batting .311 (23-for-74) with two homers and 11 RBI in 18 games since coming over from the Giants at the trade deadline.

PHI 2nd Baseman #4

Luis Arraez (lower body) was held out of the Phillies’ starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Cardinals.

The 29-year-old infielder was removed from Saturday’s game after three innings due to lower body cramps. It doesn’t sound like anything that should require a trip to the injured list, but the Phillies will give him an extra day to get right. Bryson Stott will slide over and cover second base while Edmundo Sosa starts at third base and will bat eighth for the Phillies against Kyle Leahy and the Cardinals.

Red Sox recalled INF/OF Nate Eaton from Triple-A Worcester.

Eaton was just optioned out on Wednesday, but he’ll return to the Red Sox’ bench with Mickey Gasper (biceps) landing on the injured list on Sunday. The versatile 29-year-old has hit .146/.293/.250 with one homer, six RBI and a pair of stolen bases in 58 plate appearances with the Red Sox this season.

Gasper suffered the injury while swinging a bat during the first game of Friday’s doubleheader. No word yet on whether or not he’ll require surgery, but his 2026 season is over. Nate Eaton was recalled from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Miguel Vargas is not in the White Sox’ starting lineup for Sunday’s regular season finale against the Rockies.

The White Sox are already locked into their postseason position, so with nothing to play for on Sunday, manager Will Venable will get his third baseman a breather. The 26-year-old has had an outstanding season at the plate, slashing .250/.363/.474 with 33 homers, 93 RBI, 106 runs scored and 22 stolen bases in a league-leading 704 plate appearances. Colson Montgomery will slide over and cover third base while Luisangel Acuna starts at shortstop and bats eighth against Rockies’ left-hander Kyle Freeland.

Chase Meidroth (hamstring) remains out of the White Sox’ starting lineup for Sunday’s regular season finale against the Rockies.

Meidroth appeared as a pinch hitter off the bench on Saturday night and had Sunday’s contest meant anything for the White Sox, he likely would have returned to action. Instead, he’ll get an extra day of rest as the White Sox get ready for their Wild card matchup.

Carter Jensen is absent from the Royals’ starting lineup for Sunday’s season finale against the Guardians.

Jensen had started behind the dish and hit leadoff in each of the team’s last five games, so he certainly earned a day off. Luke Maile will start in his place behind the dish and will bat ninth against Guardians’ left-hander Parker Messick on Sunday afternoon in Kansas City.

Eugenio Suárez is not in the Reds’ starting lineup for Sunday’s season finale against the Blue Jays.

The 35-year-old slugger and impending free agent started each of the previous five games, so he’ll get a breather at least to begin this one. I’d expect to see him make an appearance off the bench in what could be his final at-bat with the Reds. Juan Brito will start at third base for the Reds and will bat fifth against Jays’ right-hander Max Scherzer.

George Springer will bat leadoff for the Blue Jays in Sunday’s regular season finale.

In what is likely to be his final game with the Blue Jays — and what could be the final game of his MLB career — Springer returns to the leadoff spot where he spent the majority of his career and enjoyed tremendous success with the Astros and the Jays. With Vladimir Guerrero Jr. sitting on Sunday, the entire focus of the game will be on Springer and Max Scherzer in what could be each’s final contest.

The 27-year-old slugger has been a major disappointment for the Blue Jays this season, slashing .260/.332/.356 with a paltry nine home runs and 57 RBI in 609 plate appearances. He’ll be a polarizing option heading into 2027 fantasy drafts. Charles McAdoo will start in his place at first base and bat cleanup for the Jays on Sunday afternoon in Toronto.

Juan Soto (hand) is in the Mets’ starting lineup for Sunday’s season finale against the Nationals.

Soto was drilled in the hand by a pitch during Saturday’s contest, but X-rays came back negative for any fractures and the superstar outfielder will be in the club’s lineup for Sunday’s finale in Washington. The 27-year-old slugger has hit .278/.397/.522 with 27 long balls, 68 RBI and nine stolen bases in just 110 games for the Mets this season. He’ll start in left field and bat second against Nationals’ left-hander DJ Herz.
