Player Outlook
Luis Arraez won his third straight batting title in 2024 and was also traded for the third year in a row, going from the Marlins to the Padres in a rare May swap. That teams have been so willing to part with a perennial batting champ speaks to how difficult it can be to ascertain the proper value of his unique skill set, which features a lot of batting average and not much else. Thankfully, in fantasy we have unbiased formulas to figure out that value, and Arraez finished outside the top-15 at second base and first base in spite of that .314 average. Arraez was better for five months in San Diego than he was in his one month in Miami last season even as he was playing with a torn UCL in his thumb for a large chunk of it. He should maintain his leadoff role in 2025 for a team that will provide plenty of firepower behind him. Still, Arraez will mostly remain a one-category contributor whose appeal on draft day will be fairly limited.

  • Padres' Luis Arraez: Collects three hits in spring game

    Arraez went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a stolen base in Friday's Cactus League win over Texas. Arraez is swinging a hot bat this spring, batting .433 over 30 at-bats. He did a couple things Friday that are out of the norm for him, as he both hit a homer and stole a base. Arraez had just four long balls and nine thefts over 672 regular-season plate appearances last year, which are reasons why he's often taken outside of the top 150 in fantasy drafts. That said, Arraez is as dependable as it gets when it comes to providing elite batting average, as evidenced by his run of three consecutive batting titles.

  • Padres' Luis Arraez: Thumb injury behind him

    Arraez said Wednesday that "I feel like I got a new thumb" following surgery in October to repair a torn ligament, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union Tribune reports. Arraez tore the UCL in his left thumb on a slide on June 25 and played through "a lot" of pain before eventually undergoing offseason surgery. He managed to win his third straight batting title in 2024, although Arraez's .314 average in the regular season was down 21 points and his slugging percentage dropped 53 points from over the previous two years. The 27-year-old could have a mini bounce-back 2025 season, although he is likely to remain largely a one-category specialist.

  • Padres' Luis Arraez: Will play first base this season

    Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller said Thursday that he sees Arraez as the team's first baseman this season, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. Manager Mike Shildt also added of Arraez and Jake Cronenworth that "they're everyday guys that'll be on the field," implying that Arraez is expected to be the everyday first baseman rather than the designated hitter. Cronenworth, meanwhile, is expected to settle in at second base. The Padres don't currently have a clear favorite for DH duties, but they could use the spot to rotate players or potentially acquire some help from outside the organization.

  • Padres' Luis Arraez: Settles at $14 million

    Arraez and the Padres agreed to a one-year, $14 million contract Thursday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. Arraez will receive a raise of nearly $3.5 million for his final year of arbitration eligibility in 2025. The 27-year-old took a step back in 2024 with a .314/.346/.392 slash line in 150 regular-season games between Miami and San Diego, though he still won the National League batting title for the second straight year. Arraez underwent surgery in October to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb, but he's expected to enter spring training at full health.

  • Padres' Luis Arraez: Undergoes surgery on thumb

    Arraez underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Arraez will be eligible for salary arbitration for the final time this offseason.

  • Padres' Luis Arraez: Not playing Saturday

    Arraez is absent from Saturday's lineup against the Diamondbacks. The Padres will sit Arraez and other starters having already clinched a spot in the postseason, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Arraez's .314 batting average is the only thing standing in the way of Shohei Ohtani's pursuit of the Triple Crown. Jurickson Profar will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the leadoff spot against Diamondbacks southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez.

  • Padres' Luis Arraez: Three extra-base hits in win

    Arraez went 3-for-5 with a triple, two doubles, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks. Arraez started the game with a double and scored on a Manny Machado single. In the fourth inning, Arraez tacked on the Padres' last run with an RBI triple. It's rare for him to have many extra-base hits, but he has just four singles among his last 11 hits over an 11-game span. For the year, Arraez is at a .314/.346/.391 slash line with four home runs, 31 doubles, three triples, 46 RBI, 82 runs scored and nine stolen bases over a career-high 149 contests.

  • Padres' Luis Arraez: Heads to bench Sunday

    Arraez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox. He will get a rare day off against a righty (Sean Burke) as Fernando Tatis takes over at designated hitter, opening up right field for David Peralta. Arraez has gone just 1-for-15 in his last three games after hitting safely in 13 straight contests to begin September.

  • Padres' Luis Arraez: Idle Wednesday

    Arraez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros. Arraez sustained a lower-body injury in Monday's 3-1 win in the series opener, but he was back in the lineup for Tuesday's 4-3 loss, serving as the Padres' designated hitter while going hitless in five at-bats. The Padres haven't indicated that Arraez experienced a setback Tuesday, but the recent injury coupled with a matchup against a tough lefty (Framber Valdez) may have factored into manager Mike Shildt's decision to give the 27-year-old the night off. Arraez had started in each of the Friars' previous 15 games.

  • Padres' Luis Arraez: Back in action Tuesday

    Arraez (lower body) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Astros. Arraez departed Monday's series opener after suffering the injury on a play at the plate during the fifth inning, but he won't end up missing additional time. The 27-year-old went 2-for-4 with a double and a strikeout prior to exiting the contest, which ended a 30-game streak without being punched out.

  • Padres' Luis Arraez: Exits early vs. Astros

    Arraez left Monday's game against Houston due to an apparent lower-body injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. Arraez appeared to suffer the injury during a play at the plate in the bottom of the fifth inning and limped off the field with the team trainer. He was later able to take his scheduled at-bat in the seventh and swatted a double, but the Padres elected to deploy a pinch runner after Arraez limped into second base. The 27-year-old is likely headed back to the clubhouse for further evaluation and can be considered day-to-day until the team has more information on his status moving forward.

    Arraez went 3-for-5 with a run in Sunday's loss to the Giants. Arraez collected three singles for the second straight contest and concluded the three-game set against San Francisco having gone 7-for-14 with an RBI and three runs. He's batted an NL-best .328 since the All-Star break and has struck out just twice over 180 at-bats during that span. Arraez's .315 average on the campaign is fourth-best among qualified major-league hitters and puts him firmly on pace to bat over .300 for the third straight season.
