Overview
- Arraez fouled a pitch off the arch of his right foot on Tuesday and left the game in the fifth inning after showing a noticeable limp.
- Team tests reported X-rays were negative and Arraez was held out of the following game while receiving treatment and monitoring.
- Manager Tony Vitello expressed guarded optimism that Arraez could return quickly and might be available as a pinch-hitter.
- Casey Schmitt shifted to second base to replace Arraez and the club is also tracking outfielder Heliot Ramos as a potential lineup option.
- Because Arraez is on a one-year deal and is viewed as the Giants’ top trade chip, even a short absence could reduce immediate market interest or change San Francisco’s timing and leverage before the late-July trade deadline.
