The Phillies witnessed Luis Arraez walking off the field in awkward fashion. Now his reason for exiting the Cardinals game is revealed.
Luis Arraez helped move Bryce Harper to outfield amid his Philadelphia Phillies arrival. But fans wondered if he needs to move to the MLB Injury list. Arraez left for an unknown reason early against the St. Louis Cardinals Saturday.
The second baseman noticeably exited during the fourth inning, sparking Bryson Stott to move to his spot. Phillies insider for The Athletic Matt Gelb later learned why Arraez wasn’t on the field.
“The Phillies said Arraez has lower body cramps,” Gelb posted on the social media website X, formerly Twitter.
He managed to chip one hit before getting hit with the ailment. Arraez ripped through a 92 miles per hour fastball for the single after facing a one-ball, two-strike count. He took two at-bat attempts.
