The Padres announced that Luis Arraez is currently stable, conscious, responsive and able to move his extremities and has been transported to Houston Methodist Hospital for further evaluation.
Arraez was involved in a scary collision with Astros’ second baseman Mauricio Dubon in the first inning of Sunday night’s battle against the Astros and had to be taken off the field on a stretcher. It’s definitely an encouraging update from the medical team, and about as good as you could have hoped given the situation. Look for the Padres to continue to update the situation as soon as more information becomes available.
Taylor Ward hit a solo homer in a loss Wednesday to the Padres.
Manny Machado went 2-for-2 and scored twice in a victory Wednesday over the Angels.
Xander Bogaerts hit a three-run homer while helping the Padres to a 5-1 win over the Angels on Wednesday.
Kyle Hendricks went six innings and allowed three runs while taking a loss to the Padres on Wednesday.
Randy Vasquez held the Angels to one run over six innings with five strikeouts in a win for the Padres on Wednesday.
Matt Gorski went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-0 win on Wednesday over the Mets.
Both the Pirates and Mets did little offensively in this one, with Gorski and his teammate Jared Triolo providing all of the combined run production from both sides with a pair of two-run shots. Gorski’s homer was crushed though. It travelled an estimated 407 feet through a brief downpour of rain on a hanging sweeper from Clay Holmes. He’s now started six of the Pirates last eight games at first base and while he doesn’t have much pedigree, he does both 80th percentile bat speed and sprint speed. That makes him worth a look in the deepest of leagues.
