Padres' Luis Arraez Placed on Concussion List After Collision with Astros' Dubón

The All-Star slugger is stable and recovering after a first-inning collision left him hospitalized and forced San Diego to adjust its lineup.

Overview

  • Luis Arraez collided with Mauricio Dubón at first base during the first inning of Sunday night's game, requiring an 11-minute delay and on-field medical attention.
  • Arraez was stretchered off and transported to Houston Methodist Hospital, where he was found to be stable, conscious, and responsive, with no fractures detected.
  • The Padres placed Arraez on the seven-day concussion injured list, recalling infielder Mason McCoy from Triple-A El Paso to fill the roster spot.
  • Manager Mike Shildt reported a jaw laceration and concussion concerns but described initial test results as favorable, with Arraez rejoining the team in Detroit for further recovery.
  • The Padres, holding MLB's best record, face lineup challenges following multiple injuries this season, potentially exploring trade options to maintain their strong start.
