Out for ASG due to thumb injury Arraez will attend All-Star festivities in Texas but will not play in Tuesday's game due to a jammed left thumb, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Impact Arraez first hurt the thumb while sliding into third base June 25. He has played in all but two of San Diego's games since then, most recently sitting out Sunday's contest versus Atlanta. While Arraez has mostly been able to remain in the lineup despite the injury, he admitted that the thumb hurts "a lot" when he swings and catches the ball. It doesn't sound like the issue will cause him to miss much, if any, additional time in games that count, but he'll use the All-Star break to rest the jammed thumb rather than risking further injury in the exhibition contest.
