Exits with gastrointestinal issue Arraez left Monday's game against the Tigers with gastrointestinal discomfort, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Arraez was removed from Monday's contest in the second inning due to an illness that isn't related to COVID-19. The 23-year-old went 1-for-1 with a walk and two runs prior to his departure. Arraez should be considered day-to-day and is unlikely to miss significant time.

Impact Though he didn't swing the bat while drawing a five-pitch walk in the second inning, Arraez appeared to injure himself at some point during the plate appearance. After being examined by manager Rocco Baldelli and a team trainer, Arraez took his base and stayed in the game, but the Twins subbed him out in favor of Willians Astudillo in the next half inning. Expect the club to provide an explanation for Arraez's removal later Monday.

On base five times Sunday Arraez went 3-for-3 with a double, a pair of walks and a run scored in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Brewers.

Impact Arraez got on base in each of his plate appearances. In the sixth inning, he drew a walk, moved to second on an error, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on Max Kepler's two-run single. Arraez has posted an on-base percentage of .600 through the first three games of the year. That mark will come down, but he got aboard at a .364 clip in 2020. He's not speedy, but hitting leadoff should help Arraez post a decent run total over the course of the campaign.

Plates run Saturday Arraez went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's win over the Brewers.

Impact Arraez reached base just once in his second straight game as the Twins' leadoff hitter, but he made the most of his only knock since he plated the insurance run when he scored Andrelton Simmons with an RBI single in the top of the eighth. Arraez should remain as Minnesota's leadoff hitter and his ability to get on-base makes him a decent fit for the role even if he doesn't have the prototypical speed of a leadoff hitter.

Reaches base three times Arraez went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a walk during Thursday's extra-inning loss against the Brewers.

Impact Arraez is expected to work as Minnesota's leadoff hitter during most of the season and certainly lived up to the role in the season opener, reaching base in three of his six plate appearances. He has posted an on-base percentage above the .360 mark in each of his first two big-league seasons.
