Luis Arraez a "Little Bit Sore," Out of Lineup on Wednesday
San Francisco Giants manager Tony Vitello said that second baseman Luis Arraez (soreness) isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival San Diego Padres because he's "just a little bit sore" from a swing in Monday's series opener against the Padres, according to Justice delos Santos of MLB.com. Vitello is hoping that Arraez will return to action for Thursday's series opener in San Fran against the Pittsburgh Pirates. With Arraez out on Wednesday, the hot-hitting Casey Schmitt will start at the keystone and will bat third for the Giants against Padres right-handed opener Bradgley Rodriguez. The 29-year-old Arraez continues to be an excellent asset for batting average in fantasy with a .316 average (42-for-133), but he doesn't contribute much elsewhere, as he's still searching for his first home run of the year and has added 11 RBI, 14 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 34 games. Check back on Thursday to see if Arraez is back in the Giants' starting lineup.
