Jun 30 2025Arias (ankle) will undergo an MRI on Monday, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias was removed from Sunday's 7-0 loss to the Cardinals in the third inning after attempting to make a sliding stop on a groundball in the hole. He was carted off the field with a splint on his left leg and was later diagnosed with a sprained ankle. The MRI should provide clarity on the extent of the injury, but if Arias is forced to miss time, Daniel Schneemann could step in as the Guardians' primary option at shortstop.
Jun 29 2025Arias was diagnosed with a left ankle sprain after exiting in the third inning of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. He went 0-for-1 at the plate prior to exiting the contest. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias appears to have avoided a worst-case scenario after he needed to be carted off the field when he sustained a painful-looking ankle injury while attempting to track down a groundball. X-rays on the ankle returned negative, but his sprain could still be significant enough to force him to the injured list.
Jun 28 2025Arias went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday in a loss to the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All of Cleveland's runs Saturday came in the fourth inning, and Arias contributed a 427-foot, two-run blast in that frame. It was just his second homer over his past 60 games after Arias began the campaign with four long balls across his initial 16 contests. The infielder/outfielder has a career high of 10 home runs in the majors, which he established over 345 plate appearances during the 2023 campaign.
Jun 23 2025Arias went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias drove in the only run the Guardians would need with a second-inning single and then scored on a Nolan Jones double. Arias' offensive contributions have been few since early May, when he took over at shortstop after Brayan Rocchio was sent down to Triple-A Columbus. Arias sports a .177/.250/.274 line with one home run and 11 RBI over the last 36 games. In the same number of games in the minors, Rocchio has performed adequately for the Clippers, posting an .852 OPS with 17 extra-base hits, 24 RBI and 24 runs. Guardians' shortstops rank last in average (.181), on-base percentage (.249) and slugging (.251).
Jun 21 2025Arias went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias struck out multiple times for the sixth time over his last seven games (14 Ks in 22 at-bats). He's always had a tendency to swing and miss -- his 31.2 strikeout percentage in 2025 marks his third consecutive season over 30 percent -- but the versatile infielder has taken it new extremes in June. Arias is batting .185 (10-for-54) with 25 strikeouts (43.1 percent) through 16 contests this month.
Jun 17 2025Arias went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias had gone 0-for-8 with a walk and five strikeouts over his previous three games. He was given Sunday off ahead of a team off day Monday before returning to the lineup for Tuesday's game. The shortstop has handled a majority of the workload at that position, but he's yet to really separate himself in a playing-time battle that also includes Angel Martinez and Daniel Schneemann in the middle infield. Arias is at a .239/.301/.376 slash line with five homers, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored, 16 doubles and three stolen bases over 67 contests this season. His 29.6 percent strikeout rate, while a bit better than in previous years, continues to hold him back from being a consistent contributor.
Jun 15 2025Arias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias will cede his spot in the middle infield to Angel Martinez, who starts at second base while Daniel Schneemann covers shortstop. After he recently cobbled together a five-game hit streak, Arias has gone 0-for-8 with one walk and five strikeouts over his subsequent three starts.
Jun 11 2025Arias went 1-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias had one of only three Guardian hits in the game. The double extended a hit streak to five games, during which he's gone 7-for-19 (.368) with four doubles and an RBI. The stolen base was his third of the season and first successful attempt since April 30.
May 31 2025Arias went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a two-run double in Friday's 7-5 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the game tied 5-5, Arias gave the Guardians their first and only lead in the seventh inning, when his double to center field brought Bo Naylor and Daniel Schneemann home. Saturday was Arias' 11th multi-hit game and ninth game with multiple RBIs this season. The 25-year-old shortstop is slashing .242/.303/.368 with two steals, four home runs and 24 RBI in 202 plate appearances this season.
May 27 2025Arias went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias, who reached base safely in multiple plate appearances for the time in 11 games, has scuffled of late. He entered Monday with an .086 (3-for-35) average and one RBI over the last 10 games. Arias started the season at second base and moved to shortstop when Brayan Rocchio was sent down to the minors. None of the other middle infielders on the team are doing any better than Arias, so he should retain a near-everyday role.
May 22 2025Arias isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Detroit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias will get a chance to clear his head Thursday after going just 4-for-33 with 12 strikeouts across his last 10 games. Daniel Schneemann will start at shortstop and at sixth while Arias rests.
May 12 2025Arias went 2-for-4 with a three-run double in Monday's win over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias opened the game's scoring with a bases-clearing double in the fourth inning. He has multiple hits in four of his last 12 games but has gone hitless in the other eight. Despite the recent inconsistency, Arias owns a solid .271/.324/.426 slash line with 12 extra-base hits and 19 RBI through 39 contests.
May 7 2025Arias went 4-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start at second base and batting fifth, Arias delivered his third multi-hit performance in the last four games, and the first four-hit effort of his career. The recent surge has boosted the 25-year-old infielder's slash line to .287/.339/.452 on the season with four homers, two steals, 16 RBI and 19 runs in 35 contests.
May 4 2025Arias went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias had his most productive game in a couple of weeks. He entered Sunday batting .184 (7-for-38) with one RBI over the last 13 games. Arias started at shortstop, his fourth start there in the last six games and 11th this season.
May 3 2025Arias isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias will get a day to collect himself Saturday after going 0-for-10 with two runs scored across his last three games. His absence will give Brayan Rocchio a chance to start at shortstop while batting eighth.
Apr 19 2025Arias isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias will get a chance to rest Saturday after going 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored during Friday's series opener. While he sits, Daniel Schneemann will take over at the keystone and bat eighth.
Apr 17 2025Arias started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-1 loss to the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias' third-inning solo blast was Cleveland's lone offense. It was his fourth home run in 16 games -- third in the last five -- and has now surpassed the total he compiled in 2024 over 53 contests. Arias has started mostly at second base (10 starts) along with drawing four more at shortstop and two at third base. He also has experience in the outfield, having appeared at each position in 2024.
Apr 12 2025Arias went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias got the Guardians on the board with an RBI single in the fourth inning and added a solo home run in the sixth. He entered the weekend mired in an 0-for-17 slump but has since broken out in a big way, going 5-for-7 with two long balls. On the season, the 25-year-old is hitting .286 with three homers, seven RBI and six runs scored across 48 plate appearances.
Apr 11 2025Arias went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run during Friday's 7-0 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias' second inning single snapped his four-game hitless streak, and his three-run blast in the fourth ended up being the only offense the Guardians would need to emerge victorious Friday, though they still tacked on four more insurance runs in the eighth frame. The 25-year-old's three-hit performance elevated his OPS from .589 to .754, and he is now just one home run shy of his 2024 total despite having taken 114 fewer at-bats.
Apr 10 2025Arias is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the White Sox, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias has been an everyday player for the Guardians this season, mostly at second base, but he will receive a day off in Thursday's series finale. Daniel Schneemann will occupy the keystone and bat eighth as Cleveland goes for the sweep.
Apr 1 2025Arias started at second base and went 1-for-3 and was caught stealing in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias helped cover third base for the previous game-plus while Jose Ramirez dealt with a wrist injury. Ramirez returned to the lineup Monday, and Arias was back at second base, which he'll continue to share with Daniel Schneemann.
Mar 30 2025Arias started at third base and went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias filled in for the injured Jose Ramirez (wrist) and poked his first home run of the season. Imaging on Ramirez's wrist came back negative, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com, and manager Stephen Vogt said the third baseman could return to action Monday. Once Ramirez is ready, Arias will shift over to second base, a position he shares with Daniel Schneemann.
Mar 29 2025Arias isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias went 1-for-4 with a run scored during the Guardians' season opener Thursday, but the team will send Daniel Schneemann to the keystone for the second game of the year.
Mar 27 2025Arias started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias won a camp-long battle to become the Guardians' primary second baseman. The job may not be his all year, as Cleveland will track the progress of Juan Brito and Travis Bazzana in the minors, but Arias should get more opportunities than Daniel Schneemann to start the season.
Mar 16 2025Arias went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's spring game against Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias launched his second Cactus League home run and has hits in five of his last six outings. Part of the competition for the starting job at second base, Arias may be leading the race, although Tyler Freeman has hit the best of the quartet with a .333/.419/.630 slash line in 31 plate appearances. Juan Brito and Angel Martinez are also in the mix.
Mar 12 2025Arias could be the favorite to capture the Guardians' second-base job, Mandy Bell and Tim Stebbins of MLB.com report. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Guardians have held an open competition at second base to replace Andres Gimenez, who was traded to the Blue Jays this offseason. Arias is out of minor-league options and has had a decent spring with a .758 OPS and one home run, which might be enough to put him at the top of the pecking order. However, Juan Brito, Tyler Freeman, Daniel Schneemann and Angel Martinez remain in the mix and nothing has been decided yet. Ultimately, manager Stephen Vogt could have something of a committee approach at second base.
Feb 23 2025Arias started at second base and went 1-for-2 in Saturday's spring game against Cincinnati. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Second base is one position battle playing out during the Guardians' spring training. Arias was given the first start of the Cactus League -- he lined a slider to center field for a single in his first at-bat -- and he'll be followed by others. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt told Steve Stockmar of MLB.com on Saturday that "four or five guys" are in the mix. The most anticipated of the bunch may be prospect Juan Brito, who slashed .256/.365/.443 with 21 homers and 13 steals in 2024 at Triple-A Columbus. Over the coming weeks, expect to see Brito along with Tyler Freeman, Angel Martinez and Daniel Schneemann at the keystone.
Feb 10 2025Arias will compete during spring training for the Guardians' second base job, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bell currently projects Juan Brito to win the job but acknowledges it's a coin flip between him and Arias. Tyler Freeman, Daniel Schneemann and Angel Martinez will also be in the mix. Arias, who turns 25 later this month, has slashed only .212/.274/.350 with a 32.3 percent strikeout rate in parts of three major-league seasons and spent the entirety of the second half last season in the minors. However, he hit well in the Venezuelan Winter League and boasts a career 42.3 percent hard-hit rate.
Jul 11 2024The Guardians optioned Arias to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Guardians have valued Arias for his ability to play all over the infield and outfield during his time in the majors over parts of the last three seasons, but he had fallen out of favor lately, with recent call-ups Angel Martinez and Daniel Schneemann having supplanted him as superior utility options. Arias should get the opportunity to play on an everyday basis as he heads to Columbus, though it may take an injury to another Guardians position player or a downturn in performance from Martinez and/or Schneemann before Arias resurfaces in the big leagues.
Jun 30 2024Arias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias started in five of the past six games while seeing action at three different positions, but he'll head to the bench in Sunday's series finale. The Guardians should continue to open up regular playing time for Arias against left-handed pitching, but his starting opportunities against right-handed pitching may be more sporadic while the Guardians have all of their regular hitters available with the exception of outfielder Will Brennan (ribs), who was recently placed on the injured list.
Jun 26 2024Arias went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base against Baltimore in a loss Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias accounted for two of Cleveland's five hits in the defeat and plated the team's final run with his fifth-inning solo homer. The utility man has perked up at the plate of late, batting an even .400 (10-for-25) with a pair of long balls and five RBI over his past nine games. Arias missed some time due to a family medical emergency during that span and isn't an everyday player for the Guardians, so the hot stretch extends back to the beginning of June.
Jun 25 2024Arias went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 10-8 win over the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias has been in the lineup for the last two games since he returned from the family medical emergency list. The utility man provided a two-run double in the second inning and an RBI single in the eighth as one of four Guardians to log multiple hits in the contest. Arias is slashing .231/.262/.358 with two home runs, 14 RBI, 14 runs scored and four stolen bases on six attempts over 141 plate appearances this season.
Jun 24 2024Arias (personal) was reinstated from the family medical emergency list and will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's series opener in Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cleveland sent infielder Angel Martinez back to Triple-A Columbus to make room on the 26-man active roster for Arias, who rejoins the big club after missing the previous three games while tending to a personal matter. Though he'll immediately enter the lineup in his return to the Guardians as the Orioles send southpaw Cade Povich to the mound, the righty-hitting Arias is expected to serve as a bench player against right-handed pitching more often than not.
Jun 21 2024The Guardians placed Arias on the family medical emergency list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: By rule, Arias will be away from the club for the next 3-to-7 days. Angel Martinez will take his spot on the Guardians' roster.
Jun 9 2024Arias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias saw a run of playing time in late May and early June, but he's slipped back into a utility role over the last week. The infielder has gone a modest 6-for-28 (.214) over his last 10 contests, though he's recorded three extra-base hits in that span. Arias is slashing .215/.250/.339 with two homers, four stolen bases, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, seven doubles and a triple over 128 plate appearances this season.
Jun 2 2024Arias will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias will stick in the lineup for a fifth consecutive game, this time filling in at third base while Jose Ramirez gets a day out of the field and serves as Cleveland's designated hitter. In addition to the hot corner, Arias picked up starts at second base, shortstop and in right field over the previous four games. The Guardians faced left-handed starters in three of those contests, and though Arias should be a fixture in the lineup versus lefties, he'll likely serve as more of a part-time player when Cleveland opposes righties.
May 24 2024Arias went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 10-4 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias had gone 5-for-34 (.147) over his first 14 games in May, so it's no surprise his playing time has been sparse lately. His last multi-hit effort was April 20. The 24-year-old is sporting a poor .224/.248/.337 slash line with one home run, four steals, nine RBI, 10 runs scored, six doubles and a triple over 101 plate appearances in a utility role.
Apr 27 2024Arias went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias' last four starts have been evenly split between second and third, providing opportunities for Jose Ramirez and Andres Gimenez to get rest. Arias is off to a solid start this season in a utility role, slashing .278/.304/.426 with three steals, one home run, eight RBI and seven runs scored across 56 plate appearances. He's already played at six different positions this season, so he should be able to be in the lineup semi-regularly despite lacking a single obvious path to playing time.
Apr 24 2024Arias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias made six consecutive starts from April 13 through 18, but he's now been back on the bench three times in the Guardians' ensuing five games. Though Arias is maintaining a respectable .781 OPS over 48 plate appearances on the season, he looks like he'll have to settle for a part-time role for now while Cleveland continues to stick with Brayan Rocchio as its primary shortstop.
Apr 17 2024Arias will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After making just four starts in the Guardians' first 13 games, Arias now finds himself in the lineup for a fifth straight contest. Though he doesn't have a direct path to a starting role at any one spot while the Guardians are seemingly committed to Brayan Rocchio as their primary shortstop, Arias has made it tough for manager Stephen Vogt to take him out of the lineup while he's wielding a hot bat. Over his last four games, Arias has gone 8-for-16 with five extra-base hits (three doubles, one triple and one home run) and one walk.
Apr 15 2024Arias went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double, one RBI and one run scored in Monday's 6-0 win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias came up a home run short of a cycle, but it was still another excellent game for the utility man. He's gone 6-for-10 over his last three contests, with four of those hits going for extra bases. Monday's strong performance lifted his batting average to .308, and he's added a stolen base, five RBI and five runs scored through 27 plate appearances. Arias doesn't have a path to everyday at-bats yet, but he's putting the pressure on Brayan Rocchio, as shortstop has been the weak spot in the Guardians' infield so far.
Mar 31 2024Arias went 2-for-5 with two RBI, two runs and a stolen base during Saturday's 12-3 win against the A's. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old made his first start of the season Saturday and took advantage of the opportunity with a multi-hit game, which he did just 15 times in 88 starts last season. Arias is working in a utility role to begin 2024 after Brayan Rocchio won the starting shortstop job during spring training.
Mar 22 2024Guardians manager Stephen Vogt announced Friday that Brayan Rocchio will begin the season as the club's primary shortstop, priming Arias to fill a utility role, Tom Withers of the Associated Pressreports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias had a chance to win the shortstop job but posted a .623 OPS across 37 plate appearances during spring training. The 24-year-old will still make the roster as a utility option, but he likely won't see enough playing time to be relevant in fantasy.
Mar 15 2024Arias (illness) is starting at shortstop and batting fifth in Friday's Cactus League game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias hasn't seen the field since last weekend due to an illness, but he's back in action for Friday's spring contest. The 24-year-old appears poised to begin the season as Cleveland's primary shortstop, though his .210/.275/.352 slash line and 32.8 percent strikeout rate likely won't bring much job security.
Mar 10 2024Arias was scratched from Sunday's Cactus League lineup versus the Reds due to an illness, Mandy Bell of MLB.comreports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias is feeling under the weather and won't play as scheduled Sunday, but he should be back in action soon. The 24-year-old had a .627 OPS in 122 games last season and could being 2024 as Cleveland's primary shortstop, though he's not likely to have much security in that role.
Feb 25 2024Arias (wrist) will bat in the cleanup spot for Sunday's spring training game against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias' 2023 season came to an abrupt end after he sustained a fractured right wrist in late September. He finished last season batting .210/.275/.352 with 10 home runs and 26 RBI over 345 plate appearances.
Sep 27 2023Cleveland placed Arias on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a fractured right wrist. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias suffered the injury in the fourth inning of Tuesday's loss to the Reds and will finish the 2023 campaign with a .210/.275/.352 slash line, 10 homers, 26 RBI, three steals and 36 runs in 122 major-league games. Brayan Rocchio has been summoned from Triple-A Columbus to help out at shortstop.
Sep 24 2023Arias is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias is hitting .167 with a 34.1 percent strikeout rate over his past 11 games and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Jose Tena will start at shortstop and bat ninth.
Sep 20 2023Arias is out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias will be on the bench for the third time in seven games. Prior to that span, the 23-year-old had appeared in 13 consecutive games. Jose Tena will start in his place at shortstop and bat eighth.
Sep 18 2023Arias went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias reached the double-digit home run milestone with a 394-foot solo shot in the fourth inning. He later added an additional RBI via a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Although the 23-year-old has cemented himself as the starting Cleveland shortstop, he has struggled at the dish this year. Arias has produced a .215/.281/.362 slash line over 117 games.
Sep 16 2023Arias is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias appears to be receiving a routine day of rest, though he's now sat out two of the team's last five games. Jose Tena will take over at shortstop and hit ninth.
Sep 15 2023Arias went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 12-3 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias has picked up steady playing time in September, but he's batting just .231 (12-for-52) over 13 games this month. Most of his playing time is coming at shortstop, and it's a positive sign he's sticking in the lineup when the Guardians are at virtually full health. The infielder is essentially learning on the job at this point, given his .213/.282/.354 slash line with nine home runs, three steals, 21 RBI and 34 runs scored through 115 contests overall.
Sep 3 2023Arias went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-6 victory over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias singled in his first at-bat before adding a two-run homer in the bottom of the fourth to put the Guardians up 4-1. He's now racked up multiple hits in back-to-back games and in four of his last eight, adding five RBI over that latter stretch to go along with nine runs scored. On the downside, the utility man has also struck out 12 times over his last nine games while drawing only one walk.
Aug 27 2023Arias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias will get a much-needed breather after he started in each of Cleveland's last 13 games, seeing action at all four infield spots but second base during that stretch. Tyler Freeman will get the nod at shortstop Sunday, but Arias is expected to operate as the primary option at the position in the wake of Brayan Rocchio's recent demotion to Triple-A Columbus.
Aug 25 2023Arias went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias singled in his first at-bat and stole home later in the inning to give the Dodgers their first run of the game. He then added a 425-foot leadoff home run in the bottom of the eighth to extend the lead, marking his fourth long ball this month. It was also just his second multi-hit game in August and his second three-hit game of the season. The right fielder has hit safely in three straight and in five of his last six.
Aug 16 2023Arias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias' fifth-inning blast cut the Guardians' deficit to three runs, but they didn't score again. Arias has just six hits over 12 games in August, but three of those knocks have gone over the fence. He's slashing .199/.286/.342 with seven homers, a stolen base, 13 RBI and 20 runs scored through 220 plate appearances. The 23-year-old has seen time at first base, shortstop and third base in the last week, filling a utility role while still being a part of the regular lineup most of the time.
Aug 13 2023Arias went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias is hitting just .161 (5-for-31) in August, a quick downturn after he appeared to be heating up in late July. The infielder is at a .201/.291/.333 slash line with six homers, 12 RBI, 19 runs scored and a stolen base over 213 plate appearances. Arias has a path to playing time at first base in the near term, a position he may have to share with Kole Calhoun while also battling with Brayan Rocchio and Jose Tena for time at shortstop.
Aug 7 2023Arias went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias has gone 10-for-33 (.303) over his last nine games, but the arrival of Brayan Rocchio has created some competition for playing time at shortstop. There will likely be a short-term solution when Jose Ramirez serves his suspension for a fistfight with Tim Anderson on Saturday, but Arias could ultimately find himself on the short side of a platoon in the long run. Arias is slashing .202/.296/.329 with five homers, 10 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base over 196 plate appearances.
Aug 4 2023Arias is not in the lineup Friday versus the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brayan Rocchio will start at shortstop and bat seventh for Cleveland. Arias has picked it up offensively in recent weeks, but the 23-year-old is slashing just .206/.303/.321 across 80 total major-league games this season.
Aug 1 2023Arias went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias has gone 8-for-18 (.444) over five games since taking over as the Guardians' primary shortstop following the trade that sent Amed Rosario to the Dodgers. Prior to picking up the starting job, Arias had endured an 0-for-20 slump stretched across 19 games -- he was often a pinch runner or defensive replacement in that span. He's at a .209/.309/.323 slash line with four home runs, one stolen base, six RBI, 17 runs scored and six doubles through 181 plate appearances this year. As long as he continues to hit well, Arias should be able to fend off Tyler Freeman for playing time.
Jul 30 2023Arias will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox, Andre Knott of Bally Sports Ohio reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In the wake of Amed Rosario getting dealt to the Dodgers on Wednesday, Arias has seemingly stepped in as the Guardians' preferred option at shortstop. He's now started in four of the five games since the Rosario trade, with Tyler Freeman getting the nod at shortstop in the other contest. Arias has gone 4-for-10 with a double, a walk and a stolen base over his prior three starts and should continue to sit atop the depth chart while he's turning in productive at-bats.
Jul 27 2023Arias went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-3 win over Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his first start since July 21, Arias tallied a pair of hits, snapping an 0-for-20 stretch that dated back to June 21, while logging his first stolen base of the year. The 23-year-old Arias is now slashing just .188/.295/.306 with four homers, 15 runs scored and six RBI across 166 plate appearances this season. While Arias hasn't provided much offensively, he should see an uptick in playing time following Amed Rosario's trade to the Dodgers.
Jun 7 2023Arias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias had started in five of the Guardians' past six games, but with Josh Bell coming off the paternity list Tuesday and with Amed Rosario (knee) returning to the lineup Wednesday after a two-game absence, Cleveland has all its key position players back in the fold. Expect Arias to serve mostly as a short-side platoon player moving forward.
Jun 1 2023Arias went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 12-8 win over the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since mid-May, Arias has gotten semi-regular at-bats while playing multiple different positions, but he's slashing just .198/.298/.385 across 40 games (104 plate appearances). He's started just 28 games this year but is still tied with Josh Bell for the third-most home runs on the team (four). Despite the poor overall numbers, the Guardians will likely continue to find ways to get Arias' bat in the lineup, at least against lefties.
May 24 2023Arias will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll stick in the lineup for a fifth consecutive game at a third different position, though right field probably represents his clearest path to playing time now that the Guardians are back to full strength following Jose Ramirez's recent return from bereavement leave. Arias is maintaining a modest .685 OPS for the season, but that's still well ahead of Will Brennan (.558), the Guardians' primary option in right field. Though he's largely served as a short-side platoon mate for Brennan since Oscar Gonzalez was optioned to the minors earlier this month, Arias will draw the start over Brennan on Wednesday with right-hander Michael Kopech on the hill for Chicago.
May 20 2023Arias hit a two-run home run in his only at-bat in Friday's 10-9 extra-inning loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias entered the game as a pinch runner for Josh Bell in the seventh inning, and he stayed in as the first baseman. In the 10th, Arias put the Guardians ahead with his two-run homer, only for the Mets to rally for three runs off Emmanuel Clase in the bottom of the frame. Arias has homered in each of the last two games, and he's up to three long balls in 70 plate appearances. The versatile infielder has added four RBI, five runs scored and three doubles while slashing .203/.271/.391 this season.
May 18 2023Arias went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Thursday's victory over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias turned a fastball into a 425-foot homer to get Cleveland on the board. He got the start at first base Thursday, but has played all four infield positions and right field in 2023. While he has a utility role in Cleveland, he doesn't have a significant fantasy role. He doesn't play every day and is slashing .190/.261/.333 with two homers and no stolen bases.
May 12 2023Arias is starting in right field and batting sixth for the Guardians on Friday against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arias has been seeing regular work in right versus lefties since Oscar Gonzalez was sent down. He's hitting just .204/.278/.306 this season, which unfortunately means he's fit right in with the rest of the Cleveland offense.
