Arraez Joins Phillies, Thanks Harper for Move

Newly acquired Phillies second baseman Luis Arraez, a three-time batting champion, will bat cleanup behind Harper after being acquired from the Giants where he batted .324 with just 21 strikeouts this season. The lineup shift required Harper to move from first base to right field, a move he agreed to help the team.

Arraez, known for his contact hitting approach, said he won't change his game despite being in a cleanup role. "It's not my game. If I change it, I'll be in my house watching the guys play baseball," he said. The Phillies are positioned for an NL wild card while Arraez's former Giants team was 17 games under .500. akupunkturabielsko.pl
