Arraez exits with sprained ankle as Phillies chase playoff spot

Phillies second baseman Luis Arraez left Thursday’s game against Milwaukee with a sprained left ankle after injuring himself while trying to avoid a tag at first base in the sixth inning. He was unable to put weight on the ankle and needed help off the field; the team said he would be evaluated further, leaving his availability uncertain. Arraez leads the National League in batting average and was acquired from San Francisco at the trade deadline, making the injury a concern as Philadelphia pursues a playoff spot. The Phillies moved Bryson Stott to second base and Edmundo Sosa to third to replace him.
