Philadelphia Phillies infielder Luis Arraez suffered a sprained left ankle during Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Arraez was injured in the sixth inning while attempting to avoid a tag at first base and had to be assisted off the field after being unable to put weight on his left foot.
