Braves Aim to Clinch NL Wild Card Series Against Phillies
- Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Luis Arraez will miss the National League Wild Card Series against the Atlanta Braves due to a left ankle injury sustained late in the regular season.
- Arraez sprained his left ankle on Sept. 24 during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers while attempting to avoid a tag at first base after an errant throw.
- Interim manager Don Mattingly confirmed on Monday that Arraez could not swing a bat during practice, stating, "We still get improvement every day, but not enough."
- Utility player Otto Kemp has replaced Arraez on the playoff roster. Mattingly noted that injuries within the organization's triple-A system limited other position-player options.
- Arraez remains eligible to rejoin the lineup if the Phillies advance to the Division Series, as postseason rosters can be adjusted between playoff rounds.
