Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez continues to hit, as he went 3-for-5 in the 3-0 loss to the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. Arraez had three of the team's nine hits on the day and is now batting .388 on the year with a .917 OPS. The 26-year-old Venezuelan hitting machine has hit safely in 16 of his last 17 games and is batting an absurd .418 (33-for-79) with two home runs, three triples, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored in his last 19 games since June 16. It's going to be extremely difficult to hit .400 this year, but if anyone can do it, it would be Arraez. He's added three home runs, 18 doubles, a league-high 124 hits, 41 RBI and 40 runs scored in 83 games in his first year in Miami. Arraez's .388 average leads all of baseball by a wide margin, and he also has a league-high .439 on-base percentage.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez finished 5-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 11-0 smackdown of the Toronto Blue Jays. This is starting to get ridiculous now. The 26-year-old has three five-hit attacks this month, becoming the fourth player since 1900 to accomplish this feat. It seemed the contact specialist was losing steam on the quest for a .400 average with a recent 1-for-17 dip. However, Arraez now has 11 hits in his last three games to get it right back up to that prodigious figure. The 2022 batting champion is on a warpath this season, slashing a breathtaking .400/.450/.490 with two homers, 35 RBI, and a stolen base over 255 at-bats for a full-on breakout. Arraez is up to 102 hits this season and looks well on his way to a second straight All-Star nod, if not another batting title.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez went a perfect 5-for-5 at the plate, including a home run and three RBI, leading the Marlins to a narrow 6-5 victory over the Nationals Friday. After three consecutive games without a hit, Arraez bounced back impressively, achieving his second five-hit game of the month. His sensational outing included him driving in three runs. Overall, the 26-year-old is having a fantastic fantasy season producing a .390 batting average with two home runs and 33 RBI in 246 trips to the plate.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez went 3-for-4 with a double, a pair of RBI, and a run scored in a 9-6 win over the Kansas City Royals on Monday. The hitting machine that is Luis Arraez picked up three more hits in this contest, including an RBI double in the bottom of the third inning. The 26-year-old is now second in all of MLB with 83 hits behind Bo Bichette and his 87. However, Arraez leads the entire league with a ridiculous .399 batting average and a .450 on-base percentage. He also has one home run, 29 RBI, and one stolen base over 208 at-bats. He's got a long way to go but it's worth pointing out that no one has hit .400 in a season since Ted Williams way back in 1941.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (leg) seemed to favor his left leg late in the 10-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday and was replaced at the keystone by Garrett Hampson in the top of the eighth inning. Before leaving the contest, Arraez went 1-for-2 with an RBI to raise his batting average to an absurd .382 on the year with a .903 OPS. The 26-year-old has had a couple injury scares so far in 2023, and hopefully this one doesn't turn out to be anything serious. It's possible the Marlins were being extra cautious in a game that had already been decided, but fantasy managers should check back for more details on his injury and whether it will cause him to miss any time. Arraez is one of the best hitters in the game.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (leg) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Arraez was pulled out of Wednesday's contest due to a left leg cramp. The Marlins had Arraez sit out of Thursday's game as a precaution. He'll cover second base and bat third versus lefty Reid Detmers on Friday. This season, Arraez is slashing .371/.422/.465 with one homer, 18 RBI in 43 games. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Arraez back in the lineup for Friday's slate.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (leg) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Colorado Rockies. Arraez was pulled from Wednesday's game early as a precautionary measure due to a left-leg cramp, and he'll be held out of Thursday's matinee game as well. Fantasy managers should consider this a minor issue, and hopefully the 26-year-old will be back in action on Friday on the road against the Los Angeles Angels. The Venezuelan hitting machine is a must-start in fantasy when he's active, as he's hitting a league-high .371 (63-for-170) with 11 doubles, a triple, one homer, 18 RBI and 17 runs scored in 46 games. Xavier Edwards is taking his spot at the keystone on Thursday and is in the nine-hole to face Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (leg) left Wednesday night's game against the Colorado Rockies as a precaution with a left-leg cramp. Before departing early, Arraez went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI and one run scored in the eventual 10-2 win over the Rockies. It doesn't sound like a serious injury for the 26-year-old, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Still, be prepared for him to rest as a precaution in a matinee game on Thursday to close out the series against Colorado on the road. When healthy, Arraez is an absolute must-start in fantasy, as he came into Wednesday's game with a league-leading .371 average (62-for-167) with 10 doubles, a triple, home run, 16 RBI and 16 runs scored in 45 games played in his first year in Miami.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez is starting Sunday's contest against Alex Wood and the San Francisco Giants on the bench, according to MLB.com. The 26-year-old is putting up unbelievable numbers, slashing .387/.442/.484 with one home run, 16 runs, 15 RBI, and one stolen base over 42 games. Xavier Edwards will play second base instead and bat ninth. The rookie is hitting .273 across just five games with no long balls and one stolen base. Edwards knows how to hit, as proved by his .301 career average in the minors, so fantasy managers looking for a batting average boost can stream the switch hitter.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (knee) is back at second base and is hitting cleanup on Wednesday against right-hander Bryce Elder and the division-rival Atlanta Braves. Arraez missed the team's last three games with a bruised left knee, but it was nothing too serious and he'll be back for fantasy managers on Wednesday. The 26-year-old Venezuelan continues to prove that he's one of the best hitters in baseball, and hopefully that won't change after missing a little time with his knee injury. Last year's American League batting champion with the Minnesota Twins, Arraez currently leads baseball with a .444 batting average and .506 on-base percentage while adding five doubles, a triple, a homer, nine RBI and a stolen base in his first 20 games with the Fish. Get him back into your fantasy lineups.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (knee) will remain out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This marks the third game in a row that Arraez has missed due to left knee soreness. He was also dealing with a left finger issue last week, so maybe Arraez re-aggravated that injury. Regardless, Jon Berti will play second base and bat seventh versus righty Charlie Morton on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Arraez out again.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez is out of the starting lineup again on Monday against the Atlanta Braves. It will be the second day in a row that Arraez isn't starting, and it remains to be seen if he has suffered a setback with a minor left index finger injury that he dealt with last week. Arraez continues to be one of the best hitters in baseball after winning the American League batting title in 2022 with the Minnesota Twins. The 26-year-old Venezuelan has gone 32-for-72 for a league-leading .444 batting average with a league-leading .506 on-base percentage, five doubles, a triple, a homer, nine RBI and a stolen base in his 20 games. Jon Berti is starting at the keystone and is hitting seventh on Monday against Braves right-hander Spencer Strider with Arraez out again.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (finger) and outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. are not in the team's starting lineup on Friday against Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Madison Bumgarner. Arraez is dealing with a minor left index finger injury, but this is mostly a rest day for both him and Chisholm against a southpaw on Friday. Arraez continues to do nothing but hit going 23-for-46 (.500) with four doubles, a triple, a homer and five RBI in his first 13 games for the Fish. The 2022 American League batting champ has a league-high 23 hits in the early going. Chisholm is hitting just .229 (11-for-48) with two homers, four RBI and three steals. Garrett Hampson is at second and batting ninth, while Bryan De La Cruz is playing center field and hitting cleanup on Friday.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez made history in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Phillies, hitting for the first cycle in the franchise's history. Arraez went 4-for-5 with a single, a double, a triple, a solo home run, and two RBI. The 2022 American League batting champion has always provided average as his top fantasy asset, making him more valuable in points leagues.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez picked up four hits in five at-bats in Saturday's meeting with the Mets. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, as the Marlins lost 6-2. The 25-year-old spent his first four years in MLB with the Twins before being traded to Miami in January. The All-Star appears to be settling in just fine, as he's currently tied with C.J. Cron for a league-leading seven hits. Although Arraez has just one RBI, category managers should pleased up to this point.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez went 2-for-4 with an RBI, double, run scored and one strikeout in the 5-3 loss to the New York Mets on Opening Day on Thursday in his debut with the team. Arraez didn't disappoint out of the leadoff spot in his first game for the Fish, and he should be an excellent table-setter for the team in 2023. The 25-year-old won the American League batting crown with the Minnesota Twins in 2022 by slashing .316/.375/.420 with a .795 OPS, eight home runs, 49 RBI, 88 runs scored and four stolen bases in 603 plate appearances and 144 games. Arraez doesn't have much speed or power, but he'll be great for average, on-base percentage and runs scored.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez won his salary arbitration case at $6.1 million over the team on Thursday, according to a source. The Minnesota Twins filed a number of $5 million before they traded Arraez to the Marlins this offseason, but the number didn't change following his trade. Arraez won the American League batting title in 2022 with the Twins when he hit .316. The 25-year-old also added a .375 on-base percentage, .420 slugging percentage, .795 OPS, career-high eight home runs, 49 RBI, 88 runs scored and four stolen bases in 603 plate appearances over 144 games. He will be Miami's everyday second baseman and leadoff batter in 2023. Although Miami isn't the best hitting environment and their offense as a whole isn't anything to write home about, Arraez should once again be a great source of average, OBP and runs scored.

The Miami Marlins acquired All-Star second baseman Luis Arraez from the Minnesota Twins on Friday in exchange for right-hander Pablo Lopez and prospects Jose Salas and Byron Chourio, according to sources. Arraez won the American League batting title in 2022 by hitting .316 with a .375 on-base percentage, .420 slugging percentage, .795 OPS, career-high eight home runs, 49 RBI, 88 runs scored and four stolen bases in 603 plate appearances and 144 games. The 25-year-old can play pretty much anywhere on the infield and could also be used in the outfield in Miami, but there's no doubt that he'll be playing every day for the Fish. Miami isn't the best hitter's environment, but Arraez is more useful for runs, average and OBP to begin with in fantasy.

The Athletic's Dan Hayes reported Tuesday that the Miami Marlins are interested in Minnesota Twins second baseman Luis Arraez. However, the Twins have reportedly attached a heavy price tag to the 2022 All-Star. The 25-year-old had a great season, slashing .316/.375/.420 with eight home runs 49 RBI, 88 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 603 plate appearances. The young second baseman holds a great deal of value to the Twins, but his fantasy value is somewhat limited, as he hits almost entirely for average. His fantasy value would relatively decline if he were to be traded to the Marlins.

According to an article from The Athletic's Dan Hayes on Monday morning, Minnesota Twins infielder "Luis Arraez could be traded this offseason, but only in the right deal, according to sources familiar with the team's thinking." Hayes also wrote the following in the article: "With few, if any, untouchables on the 40-man roster, some in the organization believe the Twins would deal Arraez if it helped bring back a top-tier starting pitcher." Arraez enjoyed an excellent season for the American League Central club and fantasy managers alike in 2022, batting .316 with a .375 on-base percentage, eight home runs, and four stolen bases in 603 plate appearances. He also added 88 runs scored and 49 RBI on the season.
