Luis Arraez DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

San Diego Padres first baseman Luis Arraez (concussion) is expected to be activated from the seven-day concussion injured list on Tuesday before the team's series opener against the division-rival San Francisco Giants at Petco Park. Arraez was placed on the IL early last week after colliding with Mauricio Dubon last Sunday, but he has recovered well from the scary collision and should be back in SD's injury-riddled starting lineup against the Giants. Fantasy managers will want to double-check the lineup before reinserting him in their lineups. When Arraez returns, Gavin Sheets should revert to being the team's primary designated hitter against right-handed pitchers. After another slow start in the first week-plus of the season, the 28-year-old Arraez has recovered and is now slashing .287/.330/.425 with three homers, seven RBI, two steals and nine runs. Arraez doesn't offer much outside of a high batting average.

San Diego Padres first baseman Luis Arraez (concussion) is being placed on the seven-day concussion injured list on Monday, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee. Arraez is in the league's concussion protocol after colliding with Houston Astros utility man Mauricio Dubon at first base in Sunday's victory. In a scary scene, the 28-year-old two-time batting champion had to be put on a stretcher and taken to the hospital on Sunday. The good news is that Arraez rejoined the team after Sunday's game and was seen walking in the clubhouse. He said that everything checked out fine at the hospital. Arraez will still be forced to miss a week of action, but there's a chance he could be ready to go when he's eligible to come off the IL. In the meantime, SD could use a combination of Connor Joe, Yuli Gurriel and Gavin Sheets at first base and designated hitter. Sheets is at first and Oscar Gonzalez is the DH for Monday's series opener against the Detroit Tigers.

San Diego Padres designated hitter Luis Arraez (undisclosed) exited his team's outing against the Houston Astros in the first inning on Sunday. Arraez was involved in a scary collision at first base after attempting to bunt teammate Fernando Tatis Jr. to second base. The 28-year-old hustled down the line to beat out the throw and collided with Astros' second baseman Mauricio Dubon, who was covering on the play. It appeared that Arraez crashed into Dubon's shoulder and immediately crumpled to the ground. Eventually, his head and neck were stabilized, and he was carted off. Reportedly, the All-Star DH was transported to Houston Methodist Hospital, and his condition is stable. He is responsive and has control of his extremities. Expect an update on his status soon.
