Will miss more than minimum Arraez (shoulder) is expected to spend a few weeks on the injured list, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's far from a precise timeline, but it doesn't look as though Arraez is in contention to return from his shoulder injury in the minimum 10 days. Jorge Polanco has been the primary second baseman in his absence and will likely remain in that role until he returns.
