Luis Arraez Remains Out For Game 1 Of Twin Bill Wednesday
1 year agoMiami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Wednesday's straight doubleheader with the New York Mets and left-hander Joey Lucchesi. The 26-year-old injured his ankle when he slipped on some dugout steps during Saturday's game against the Brewers and has not appeared since. In line for an NL Batting Title in his first season in the senior circuit, Arraez is hitting .353 with 10 home runs, three stolen bases, and an .860 OPS across 616 plate appearances on the season. The injury comes at the worst of times for the Fish as they are currently just a half-game back of the Chicago Cubs for the final Wild Card spot in the National League with five games to go.
