Phillies reconfigure lineup after acquiring Luis Arráez at trade deadline

The Philadelphia Phillies currently sit at 79-61 and trail Atlanta by four games in the division standings. To bolster the lineup, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski acquired three-time batting champion Luis Arráez in a move that required defensive position changes for three key players. Bryson Stott moved to third base, Alec Bohm shifted to first base, and Bryce Harper moved to right field to accommodate Arráez at second base. Since the acquisition, the team has won 15 of its last 18 games and improved in several offensive metrics, including batting average, on-base percentage, and runs per game. The club prepares to host Atlanta for a four-game series at Citizens Bank Park beginning Friday. The Phillies seek to maintain their current momentum as they look toward a potential postseason run with 12 games remaining in the season schedule after their upcoming series against Atlanta.
