Impact Arraez appeared to suffer the injury during the third inning when he slipped while fielding a ball in left field. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's series finale with Chicago.

Dealing with sore knee Arraez was removed from Tuesday's game against the White Sox with right knee soreness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Getting regular starts in left Arraez will start in left field and bat leadoff Sunday in Detroit.
Impact Arraez has made each of his last three starts in left field, and that spot looks to be the versatile 24-year-old's most viable path to playing time so long as Byron Buxton (hand) remains on the injured list. Once Buxton returns, the Twins will have to decide between Arraez, Max Kepler and Trevor Larnach to fill out the final two spots in the everyday outfield in a given game.

Steals base, scores three times Arraez went 3-for-4 with a double, a steal, a walk and three runs scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Royals.

Three extra-base hits Friday Arraez went 3-for-4 with two triples, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 8-7 win over Cleveland.
Impact Arraez showed off some speed Friday with the pair of triples. He's gone 13-for-35 (.371) with three triples and two doubles in 10 games since he returned from a shoulder injury. The utility man has racked up a home run, 20 RBI, 27 runs scored, four triples and five doubles across 200 plate appearances. He's maintained a .295/.365/.386 slash line and should be a consistent presence in the lineup versus right-handed pitchers.

Sits versus lefty Arraez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact The lefty-hitting Arraez will head to the bench with a southpaw (Wade Miley) on the mound, ending a streak of six consecutive starts for the 24-year-old. Though Arraez doesn't possess a clear path to a full-time role at any one position, his versatility, high contact rate and on-base skills should continue to afford him regular at-bats versus right-handed pitching.

Raps out three hits Arraez went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over Texas.
Impact He's gone 7-for-20 (.350) with a triple, one RBI and three runs scored in six games since he returned from a shoulder injury. Arraez has added virtually no power or speed this year -- he has one home run and he's 0-for-1 in stolen base attempts. The utility man is slashing .283/.359/.346 with 15 RBI and 23 runs scored across 184 plate appearances. His defensive versatility should give him a consistent role even when Josh Donaldson (calf) is back in action.

Activated from IL Arraez (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Impact As expected, Arraez has been officially activated ahead of Minnesota's upcoming series against the Mariners, though he won't be in the lineup for Monday's contest. He's slashing .277/.358/.333 with five extra-base hits and 14 RBI through 39 contests in 2021.

Impact Arraez has been rehabbing with Triple-A St. Paul since Friday, and he's apparently been feeling well in his return to the diamond. While Baldelli didn't explicitly say when the utility man could be activated, all signs point toward him being reinstated from the injured list prior to Monday's series opener against the Mariners. Arraez hasn't played since May 23 because of a right shoulder strain, but he could pick up regular work in the outfield upon being activated.
