LUIS ARRAEZ NEWS

Scores four times Arraez went 3-for-5 with a walk, two doubles, a stolen base, four runs scored and two RBI on Wednesday against the Athletics.

Impact Arraez turned in his third multi-hit game across his last seven starts. The highlight of his performance was his two extra-base hits, as he entered the game with only three doubles and a home run across 107 plate appearances on the campaign. Despite the lack of power, Arraez has a .425 on-base percentage and has regularly hit near the top of the Twins' order, so he should be a good source of runs.

Out against lefty Arraez is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Oakland.

Impact With southpaw Zach Logue on the hill for Oakland, the lefty-hitting Arraez will give way at first base to the righty-hitting Jose Miranda. Arraez returned from a stint on the COVID-19-related injured list to start in each of the Twins' last four games, going 5-for-13 with four walks, a run and a stolen base.

Reaches three times in return Arraez went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in a 5-0 loss Thursday against Houston.

Impact Arraez returned after missing six games while on the COVID-19 injured list. Batting second in the Twins' lineup, he walked in the first and recorded a double and a single in his final two plate appearances. The versatile infielder leads Minnesota with a .316 average and .395 OBP and has a 10:7 BB:K ratio. While he has never hit for much power at any level, the 25-year-old provides value in his great on-base skills and defensive versatility.

Activated, starting Thursday Arraez (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list and will start at first base and bat second in Thursday's regularly scheduled game against the Astros.

Impact The 25-year-old was unavailable for the completion of Wednesday's suspended game but will return from a one-week absence for the series finale. Arraez has a .301/.378/.370 slash line with one home run, seven RBI and seven runs through 23 games this season, and he should continue to have a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching.

Impact Before the Twins and Astros play the final game of their series, they'll resume Wednesday's contest, which was suspended in the top of the fourth inning with Houston leading, 5-1. Arraez won't be available off the bench for that contest, but Minnesota plans to activate him after the suspended contest concludes. The 25-year-old is expected to step back into an everyday role against right-handed pitching, though the lefty-hitting Arraez could find himself on the bench regularly versus lefties.

Twins' Baldelli, Arraez, Bundy test positive for COVID-19

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli and second baseman Luis Arraez are out for the team's game at Baltimore after testing positive for COVID-19

MAY 5, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tests positive for COVID-19 Arraez tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact The Twins are dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak within their clubhouse, and Arraez will have to isolate from the team after testing positive. The team isn't expected to make a roster move prior to Thursday's game against the Orioles, but Jose Miranda and Gary Sanchez should see an uptick in playing time while Arraez is sidelined. The 25-year-old will be eligible to return once he clears the league's COVID-19 protocols.

Sitting Thursday Arraez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

Idle versus lefty Arraez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact With lefty Bruce Zimmermann on the bump for Baltimore, the lefty-hitting Arraez will take a seat as the Twins stock up on more right-handed bats to counter the southpaw. Rookie Jose Miranda will pick up a second straight start, this time replacing Arraez at first base after filling in for Gio Urshela in his MLB debut in Monday's 2-1 win.

Luis Arraez, Twins agree at $2,125,000, avoid arbitration

Luis Arraez and the Minnesota Twins have agreed to a one-year contract worth $2,125,000, avoiding a salary arbitration hearing that had been scheduled for June 10

MAY 2, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Avoids arbitration Arraez and the Twins avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.13 million contract Sunday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact After a hot start to the season, Arraez has been in a slump recently, as he's gone 1-for-15 over the last four games. However, the 25-year-old won't require an arbiter to reach an agreement with Minnesota. In spite of his recent cold spell at the plate, Arraez is hitting .299 with a homer, seven RBI and six runs over 21 games in 2022.
