Arraez collected three hits in Tuesday’s contest against the Dodgers, starting with a base hit in the first before scoring on a single by Gavin Sheets. Arraez then drove in a run with a single in the third and knocked his third hit in the seventh. The 28-year-old first baseman is slashing .280/.312/.396 with three homers, 32 runs, and 27 RBI across 289 plate appearances.

Arraez had been relatively quiet at the dish with just one multi-hit game this month before Tuesday’s offensive explosion against the Dodgers. He collected three hits, two doubles, and scored a run all four times he reached base. The 28-year-old first baseman is now slashing .281/.314/.405 with three homers, 31 runs scored, and 25 RBI across 262 plate appearances.

Arraez had been 1-for-3 with a run scored before exiting. Padres’ manager Mike Shildt sounded optimistic about the injury after the game, calling the 28-year-old infielder day-to-day. Don’t be surprised if he gets an extra day off on Friday to be on the safe side, but it sounds like Arraez should be able to avoid a trip to the injured list.

Arraez lined a one-out double into left field off of Andrew Heaney in the sixth inning and came around to score on an RBI double off the bat of Jackson Merrill. He then chipped in an RBI single in the seventh inning that tied the game at 4-4. He has performed about as expected for the Padres this season, hitting .289/.321/.417 with three homers, 21 RBI and a pair of stolen bases through his first 222 plate appearances.
