Not Good: Luis Arraez hurts left ankle running to first base, exits game early
Not what anyone wanted to see. Luis Arraez appeared to be in a significant amount of pain as he went down after a play at first base, and the early word is a sprained left ankle.
The Phillies are currently in a 1-1 game against the Brewers, still fighting for Wild Card positioning, but this is the kind of news that overshadows everything happening on the scoreboard.
NOT GOOD: Luiz Arraez Is Hurt
OBVIOUSLY, losing Luis Arraez would be devastating for this baseball team heading into the postseason. The guy has been nothing but solid for an offensively-weak lineup needed since the deadline.
For now, we wait on more information. A sprained ankle can mean a lot of different things, from a day-to-day tweak to something that lingers into October, so until we get an official update on the severity, there’s no sense spiraling.
