2B Luis Arraez (Ankle) Left Off Phillies’ NL Wild-Card Roster
Luis Arraez will miss the best-of-three series after a left ankle sprain, and Otto Kemp was added to the roster.
- Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Luis Arraez will miss the National League Wild Card Series against the Atlanta Braves due to a left ankle injury. Manager Don Mattingly confirmed Monday that Arraez is not on the active roster.
- Arraez sprained his left ankle during Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers while attempting to avoid a tag at first base. The injury forced him to miss the final three games of the regular season.
- Infielder Otto Kemp will replace Arraez on the roster for the series in Atlanta. Arraez provided crucial protection for Bryce Harper in the lineup, significantly impacting offensive production since his mid-season arrival.
- Mattingly noted the team hoped for daily improvement but confirmed Arraez's status, stating, 'He was going to try to hit today and wasn't able to do it.'
- The Phillies secured a playoff spot after Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Rays and face the Braves in a best-of-three series starting Tuesday. Philadelphia must adjust their lineup strategy without their key offensive contributor.
