2020 Fantasy Outlook
Arraez turned what was initially expected to be a brief stay in the majors into a full-time role in the infield, unseating Jonathan Schoop for regular work at second base. His season began at Double-A before quickly getting bumped up to Triple-A. He was there for three days before getting the call for his big-league debut. Arraez has outstanding contact skills -- his 7.9 K% led MLB hitters with 300-plus PA and his 1.24 BB/K placed him second, in between Alex Bregman and Carlos Santana. He is a very difficult player to value for fantasy, as he has just 10 professional home runs in 459 games to go with a league-average sprint speed that only figures to tick down as he matures. Even so, his plate skills and ability to hit for average are already elite. Even though he is a poor defender (-8 DRS), Arraez should at least occupy the strong side of a platoon (.696 OPS vs. lefties) at second base to start the year. Read Past Outlooks
Doubles machine in return
Arraez went 4-for-4 with three doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Arraez put the ball in the gap for extra bases in the first, third and fifth innings, twice against Luis Castillo. It was quite a way for Arraez to reintroduce himself after he missed more than two weeks with knee and ankle issues. He is now batting .315 in 108 at-bats and should be a fixture near the top of the order again given his contact skills, although that average he has provided has been mostly empty to this point (zero homers, zero steals).

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2017
2016
Arraez hit .298 with a .710 OPS after missing all but three games in 2017 due to a torn ACL. Arraez is one of the best pure hitters in the Twins' system, but has not hit for much power or shown much speed on the bases. At 5-foot-10, 155 pounds, he doesn't project to grow into much more than 10-to-15 homer pop. His hit tool and defense will have to carry him if he is to make it as an everyday player.
