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.
