Luis Arraez Dealing with Sprained Left Ankle as Phillies Chase Playoffs

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Luis Arraez is day-to-day with a left ankle sprain suffered while avoiding a tag at first base. Negative X-rays were followed by an MRI confirming the sprain, leaving him stiff, sore, and doubtful for the final regular-season games. Interim manager Don Mattingly hopes Arraez might be available to pinch-hit soon. Arraez finishes the regular campaign securing the NL batting title, batting .278 since arriving via trade in August.
