That talk has cooled down as the season wore on. A bad August for Arraez individually and, in turn, the Marlins overall all but ended that chance for Arraez to elite company and temporarily put Miami's playoff hopes in jeopardy.
Entering Sunday, with Miami just one-and-a-half games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks for the National League's third and final wild card spot, the Marlins are 11-7 this season in the 18 games when Arraez records at least three hits and 29-21 when he has a multi-hit outing.
Arraez in particular struggled in August, a month in which the Marlins went 10-17 against primarily playoff contenders.
