Resting Wednesday Arraez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Arraez leads Marlins against the Mets after 4-hit outing

The Miami Marlins take on the New York Mets after Luis Arraez had four hits on Saturday in a 6-2 loss to the Mets

APRIL 2, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Two hits in Miami debut Arraez went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in an Opening Day loss to the Mets.

Impact It was ultimately a disappointing result for the Marlins, but one of their biggest offseason acquisitions performed exactly as advertised in his first game for the club. Arraez hit leadoff in his Miami debut, and after winning the AL batting title last season for Minnesota while scoring 88 runs in 144 games, he should be an effective table-setter in 2023.

Turner's grand slam lifts US over Venezuela, into WBC semis

Trea Turner hit a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning that lifted the United States over Venezuela 9-7 and into the World Baseball Classic semifinals

MARCH 19, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Homers twice in WBC loss Arraez homered twice for Team Venezuela and drove in four runs Saturday in a 9-7 loss to Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.

Impact Arraez isn't known for his power, but he clobbered a two-run blast off Lance Lynn in the first inning, and swatted a solo shot off David Bednar in the seventh. Arraez also picked up an RBI on a fielder's choice. He sees his tournament come to a close with the loss, but it's nice to see Miami's big offseason acquisition driving the baseball, even in the exhibition season.
