The Philadelphia Phillies have three games left in the regular season and what once seemed like a guaranteed playoff appearance is looking more unlikely by the day.
The Phillies have struggled to find consistency at the plate in September, with several key players cooling off at the worst time. Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, and Bryce Harper have combined to hit around .200 this month, while JT Realmuto has gone hitless in his last 26 at bats.
In Thursday night's game against the Milwaukee Brewers, at the bottom of the sixth inning Luis Arraez rolled his ankle in the sixth inning trying to avoid a tag at first base.
Luis Arraez was one of the Phillies' key offensive additions ahead of the trade deadline in August. His absence raises even more more concerns for the club.

The initial ankle X-rays were negative, but Arraez remains under evaluation and is listed day-to-day as the team awaits more information on his injury status.
Now, the season is down to its final stretch as the Phillies face the Tampa Bay Rays needing two wins to clinch a playoff berth.
