Padres' Luis Arraez: Pops rare homer in win
Rotowire
Arraez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Tuesday's victory over the Brewers.
Arraez turned on a Bruce Zimmermann cutter in the second inning, curling it off the right-field foul pole for a two-run shot, his eighth homer of the season. It's been a down year overall for Arraez, with career lows in batting average (.288) and OPS (.711) across 151 games, but the infielder may be heating up at the right time, riding a 12-game hitting streak with an .801 OPS during that span.
Arraez (head) is starting at second base and batting second Tuesday against the Mets.
Arraez was held out of Sunday's starting nine after being struck in the head by an errant warmup throw Saturday, but he's good to go after Monday's team off day. The infielder has a .333/.375/.400 slash line through 12 games in September and has gone 7-for-17 over his past four contests.

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.
