HOUSTON — San Diego’s Luis Arraez returned to the stadium postgame after he was taken to a hospital following a collision with Mauricio Dubón on a play at first base in the first inning of the Padres’ 3-2 win over the Astros on Sunday night.
San Diego manager Mike Shildt said after the game that the situation was the “best case scenario with Luis.”
“Obviously, very scary,” Shildt said. “We think he’s for the most part out of the woods. More time will tell, but the initial testing is very favorable. No fractures of any sort. I mean, he got a little bit of a laceration on his jawline, so we are worried about his jaw.
