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.

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.

PHI 2nd Baseman #4

Luis Arraez left Saturday’s game after three innings with lower body cramps.

Consider him day-to-day, Arraez seemed to having issues after rounding second on an Alec Bohm single. He stayed in and came around to score, but he was replaced by Bryson Stott at second base for the start of the fourth.

PHI 2nd Baseman #4

Luis Arraez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored as the Phillies defeated the Marlins 4-1 on Wednesday evening.

Arraez’s homer was a two-run shot off Sandy Alcantara in the bottom of the third. It was his second round-tripper with his new team. The lefty-hitting infielder has started at second base and hit cleanup in all 15 games since the Phillies acquired him before the trade deadline.

PHI 2nd Baseman #4

Luis Arraez went 3-for-5 with three singles on Thursday evening as the Phillies triumphed over the Twins in the Field of Dreams game.

None of his three singles produced a run and Arraez was left stranded each time that he reached base. The three-time batting champion is having another outstanding season in the category, slashing .316/.350/.434 with five homers and 49 RBI in 511 plate appearances between the Giants and Phillies.

PHI 2nd Baseman #4

Luis Arraez collected a pair of hits including a double and drove in a run on Thursday as the Phillies topped the Nationals.

The Phillies’ new cleanup hitter opened the scoring in the ballgame with an RBI double off of Miles Mikolas in the home half of the first inning. He was then cut down at the plate trying to score on Alec Bohm’s RBI double. Arraez also singled in the seventh inning. For the season, he’s slashing an impressive .326/.361/.450 with five homers and 47 RBI on the season.

Luis Arraez went 1-for-5 with a solo home run against the Nationals on Wednesday.

Arraez’ home run was his fifth of the season. He hit a solo shot off Jake Irvin in the second inning. Arraez now has three RBI in his first two games with the Phillies.

Luis Arraez went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI from the cleanup spot in his Phillies debut Tuesday against the Nationals.

Perfect. This is what cleanup Arraez was always supposed to do and always why Arraez was also supposed to bat cleanup. He’s not an OBP guy while hitting singles or doubles every third at-bat. He’s an RBI guy.

PHI 2nd Baseman #4

The Phillies have Luis Arraez batting cleanup in his debut Tuesday against the Nationals.

The Phillies are facing a lefty opener tonight, but the lineup looks more like it would against a righty, with Brandon Marsh, Bryson Stott and Justin Crawford all included. Arraez is more used to hitting first or second than cleanup, but no one is better equipped to single in a guy from second base. The Phillies are keeping Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner at the top for now.

Royals claimed RHP Spencer Bivens off waivers from the Giants.

Bivens, 32, was a solid reliever for the Giants in 2024 and ’25, but he’d given up eight earned runs in five innings this year, resulting in him spending most of the year in Sacramento. Overall, he has a 4.08 ERA in 134 2/3 career innings. No word yet on whether the Royals will add him to their pen or stash him in Triple-A.

George Springer remained in the game and popped out in the eighth after apparently hurting his leg in the sixth inning Saturday against the Orioles.

Springer came up lame on his grounder that ended the sixth, but the left leg issue didn’t force him out of the game. It’s unclear if the leg problem was new or if it’s related to what kept him out of the lineup for three games earlier this week. As things stand now, it seems like he could be day-to-day for the rest of the season.

Diamondbacks selected the contract of 1B Pavin Smith from Triple-A Reno.

Smith hit .287/.423/.504 with seven homers in 39 games for Reno after clearing waivers in July. He should finish out the year as an occasional DH and first baseman against right-handers. He’s in the lineup as a DH and batting eighth tonight against the Rangers.

Diamondbacks recalled 1B Tyler Locklear from Triple-A Reno; placed him on the 60-day injured list with a fractured thumb.

That obviously ends his season. It’s hard to understand why the D-backs didn’t give Locklear a real look when he was healthy, instead sending him down last month after he hit .278/.357/.444 in 42 plate appearances while only starting against lefties. He’s slated to be out of options next spring, but he’ll probably qualify for a fourth option if the current rule is left alone in the next CBA.

Diamondbacks optioned C/DH Adrian Del Castillo to Triple-A Reno.

Del Castillo went 0-for-3 in his six days with the D-backs, leaving him at .196/.249/.313 in 195 plate appearances overall. One imagines he’ll be a 40-man roster casualty this winter.

Bryce Elder is with the Braves following knee surgery and is still hoping to pitch in the postseason.

Elder is walking without a limp, and it sounds like there are plans in place to allow him to do some throwing as he continues to recover. He’s not expected to return to pitch in any regular season games.
