The Philadelphia Phillies will leave Luis Arraez off their roster for the National League Wild Card Series against the Atlanta Braves after he sprained his left ankle while avoiding a tag against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sept. 24. Arraez has not resumed baseball activities, and Otto Kemp will take his roster spot. He could return if the Phillies advance, but his availability remains uncertain.

At least they left the door open for Arraez if the series goes longer.

Otto Kemp stepping in might work out but Arraez has been the better bat all year.
