Arraez underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports. Arraez initially injured the thumb back in late June but played through the issue for the remainder of the season. The expectation is that he will be ready for the start of spring training. Arraez will be eligible for salary arbitration for the final time this offseason.

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.

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.

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.

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.
