Luis Arraez Joins Phillies, Thanks Bryce Harper for Position Switch

Second baseman Luis Arraez said he’s excited to join Philadelphia’s playoff chase and thanked two‑time MVP Bryce Harper for moving back to right field, which opened a cleanup spot behind Harper for his debut vs. Washington.

Arraez, who hit .324 with just 21 strikeouts in 105 Giants games, will bat cleanup behind Harper, with Alec Bohm moving to first, Bryson Stott to third, and Don Mattingly noting no restrictions on Harper’s arm as the lineup reshuffles. liveiplscore.homes
