Giants' Luis Arraez: Not starting due to bruised wrist
Rotowire
Arraez (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
With a team off day coming Monday, the Giants will give Arraez at least two days to recover from the right wrist contusion that forced him out of Saturday's 6-2 loss. Christian Koss will pick up a start at second base Sunday in Arraez's stead, but manager Tony Vitello said that he's targeting Tuesday's game in Cincinnati for Arraez's return to the lineup, per Slusser.

Giants' Luis Arraez: Three hits, steal in loss
Rotowire
Arraez went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Padres.
Arraez isn't a big contributor in the counting stats, but he's already logged two steals over six games this season. He had a career-best 11 thefts in 154 regular-season contests with the Padres last year. Speed isn't typically something that increases with age, so don't expect the 28-year-old to make a huge impact in that area. He's now batting .304 (7-for-23) with a walk, one RBI and one run scored, with his double Wednesday being his first extra-base hit of the year.

Giants' Luis Arraez: Singles in Opening Day loss
Rotowire

Giants' Luis Arraez: Returns from WBC
Rotowire

Arraez returned to Cactus League play after helping Team Venezuela win its first World Baseball Classic title.

Giants' Luis Arraez: Signs with San Francisco
Rotowire
Arraez signed a one-year contract with the Giants on Saturday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports. Per Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com, the deal is for $12 million and is pending a physical.
Arraez played mostly at first base with San Diego last season, but he's expected to fill San Francisco's need for a starting second baseman in 2026. While the veteran infielder continued to display his bat-to-ball excellency last season -- he led the NL with 181 hits and stuck out just 21 times over 675 plate appearances -- he also posted a career-low .719 OPS with just eight homers while collecting 61 RBI, 66 runs and 11 stolen bases. The theft total was a career-best mark and was really the only area where Arraez made even a modest impact in fantasy outside of his .292 batting average. With San Francisco, Arraez should maintain an everyday spot in the lineup, and there's no reason to think he won't continue to hit for a high average. While his consistent lack of contributions elsewhere makes Arraez a mostly unexciting fantasy asset, his eventual return to eligibility at the keystone should prop his appeal up to some extent.

Padres' Luis Arraez: Struck by errant throw
Rotowire
Arraez was removed from Saturday's game against Colorado after getting hit by a ball in the head area while jogging onto the field in the ninth inning, Andres Soto of MLB.com reports.
Arraez spent some time on the ground after getting hit by the errant warmup throw, and he was subsequently replaced in the field by Jose Iglesias. The Padres were up 11-3 at the time, so it wouldn't have made much sense for Arraez to remain in the game even if he avoided injury. Manager Mike Shildt may have more to share about Arraez's status following the contest. Prior to exiting, Arraez went 2-for-5 with two runs scored.
