Exits with gastrointestinal issue Arraez left Monday's game against the Tigers with gastrointestinal discomfort, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Arraez was removed from Monday's contest in the second inning due to an illness that isn't related to COVID-19. The 23-year-old went 1-for-1 with a walk and two runs prior to his departure. Arraez should be considered day-to-day and is unlikely to miss significant time.

Impact Though he didn't swing the bat while drawing a five-pitch walk in the second inning, Arraez appeared to injure himself at some point during the plate appearance. After being examined by manager Rocco Baldelli and a team trainer, Arraez took his base and stayed in the game, but the Twins subbed him out in favor of Willians Astudillo in the next half inning. Expect the club to provide an explanation for Arraez's removal later Monday.

On base five times Sunday Arraez went 3-for-3 with a double, a pair of walks and a run scored in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Brewers.

Impact Arraez got on base in each of his plate appearances. In the sixth inning, he drew a walk, moved to second on an error, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on Max Kepler's two-run single. Arraez has posted an on-base percentage of .600 through the first three games of the year. That mark will come down, but he got aboard at a .364 clip in 2020. He's not speedy, but hitting leadoff should help Arraez post a decent run total over the course of the campaign.

Plates run Saturday Arraez went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's win over the Brewers.

Impact Arraez reached base just once in his second straight game as the Twins' leadoff hitter, but he made the most of his only knock since he plated the insurance run when he scored Andrelton Simmons with an RBI single in the top of the eighth. Arraez should remain as Minnesota's leadoff hitter and his ability to get on-base makes him a decent fit for the role even if he doesn't have the prototypical speed of a leadoff hitter.

Five key takeaways from the Twins' Opening Day loss to the Brewers Opening Day thoughts on Luis Arraez, Josh Donaldson, Max Kepler, Byron Buxton and the Twins' bullpen.

Reaches base three times Arraez went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a walk during Thursday's extra-inning loss against the Brewers.

Impact Arraez is expected to work as Minnesota's leadoff hitter during most of the season and certainly lived up to the role in the season opener, reaching base in three of his six plate appearances. He has posted an on-base percentage above the .360 mark in each of his first two big-league seasons.

Leading off on Opening Day Arraez will lead off and play left field in Thursday's season opener against the Brewers.

Impact Arraez has spent the majority of his career in the infield, but he's no stranger to the outfield, having started 18 games in left in 2019. Per Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic, he's expected to fill the leadoff spot regularly this season, pushing Max Kepler (who's batting fifth Thursday) into the heart of the order. Arraez doesn't steal like a traditional leadoff man, as he's swiped just two bags in 124 major-league games, but his .390 on-base percentage fits well at the top of the order.

Impact Arraez will move to a utility role this season with the Twins signing Andrelton Simmons to play shortstop and moving Jorge Polanco to second base. However, he's expected to get near everyday duty as starters are rested regularly. The Twins may not have a set lineup as manager Rocco Baldelli likes to play matchups each game, but it sounds like Arraez will be in the leadoff mix.

Impact Arraez will move to a utility role this season with the Twins signing Andrelton Simmons to play shortstop and moving Jorge Polanco to second base. Early in camp manager Rocco Baldelli said Arraez would focus on second base and third base, but Saturday's start shows he could factor into the left field mix early in the season if Alex Kirilloff begins the season in the minors. Despite the slow start at the plate, the more important development is Arraez looks healthy after knee and ankle issues limited him to 32 games last season.

Impact Knee and ankle issues limited Arraez to 32 games last season, so improved health is a good sign as spring training begins. Arraez will move to a utility role this season with the Twins signing Andrelton Simmons to play shortstop and moving Jorge Polanco to second base. Arraez essentially takes over the utility role of Marwin Gonzalez, who left via free agency. Gonzalez played in 53 of 70 games last season and 114 of 162 in 2019, so Arraez could still get several starts a week as the Twins looked to give regulars an off day most days. Arraez will likely get most of his playing time at second base, left field and third base.

Likely moving to utility role Arraez is expected to move to a utility role following the signing of Andrelton Simmons on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Simmons is joining Minnesota on a one-year, $10.5 million deal, which will push Jorge Polanco (ankle) over to second base. Arraez has primarily played at the keystone since making his big-league debut in 2019, but he's also seen time at third base, shortstop and left field. The 23-year-old has an .819 OPS through his first 124 major-league contests, and the Twins should still find significant at-bats for him, regardless of where he plays in the field.
