Exits early vs. Astros Arraez left Monday's game against Houston due to an apparent lower body injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Arraez appeared to suffer the injury during a play at the plate in the bottom of the fifth inning and limped off the field with the team trainer. He was later able to take his scheduled at-bat in the seventh and swatted a double, but the Padres elected to deploy a pinch runner after Arraez limped into second base. The 27-year-old is likely headed back to the clubhouse for further evaluation and can be considered day-to-day until the team has more information on his status moving forward.

Posts another three-hit game Arraez went 3-for-5 with a run in Sunday's loss to the Giants.
Impact Arraez collected three singles for the second straight contest and concluded the three-game set against San Francisco having gone 7-for-14 with an RBI and three runs. He's batted an NL-best .328 since the All-Star break and has struck out just twice over 180 at-bats during that span. Arraez's .315 average on the campaign is fourth-best among qualified major-league hitters and puts him firmly on pace to bat over .300 for the third straight season.

Tallies three hits Saturday Arraez went 3-for-5 with a run and an RBI in Saturday's loss to San Francisco.
Impact Arraez brought the Padres to within a run with his fifth-inning RBI single, but that was the final tally for the team. The talented DH/infielder extended his hitting streak to seven games with the performance, and he's batting an excellent .414 (12-for-29) with four walks, two steals, five runs and four RBI during that span, though all 12 of his hits have been singles. Remarkably, Arraez has gone 24 games and 108 plate appearances without a strikeout, and his minuscule 4.3 percent strikeout rate on the season leads qualified MLB hitters by a wide margin (Steven Kwan is second-best at 9.2 percent).
