The Phillies will face the Braves in the Wild Card Series without Luis Arraez. Manager Don Mattingly informed reporters that the infielder will not be on the roster due to a left ankle injury, per MLB Trade Rumors.
Otto Kemp will take Arraez's spot on the postseason roster. One report indicates the Phillies will also carry three catchers, a decision tied to several minor league injuries that have depleted their depth.
Arrayez was acquired at the trade deadline but will not be available for the opening round of the playoffs.
