Luis Arraez announced he underwent surgery for a torn ligament in his thumb, having played through pain since June, prioritizing recovery post postseason.
Despite a .314 batting average and a third consecutive batting title, Arraez’s offensive numbers declined this season, reflecting the impact of his thumb injury.
Arraez’s performance metrics have also taken a hit, with his expected wOBA on contact dropping significantly after sustaining the thumb injury.
Looking ahead, Arraez is projected to be among the highest-paid arbitration-eligible players next season, depending on his recovery and performance.
