Guardians place Gabriel Arias on IL with hamstring injury, call up Juan Brito for big league debut

Gabriel Arias has been placed on the 10-day injured list by the Cleveland Guardians due to a strained left hamstring

APRIL 7 • Associated Press

Covers short for injured teammate Rocchio moved mid-game from second base to shortstop Monday for the injured Gabriel Arias (hamstring).

Impact Arias' injury looks like it will keep him out of Tuesday's contest, but it's not yet known if a stint on the injured list is required. Rocchio is the likely fill-in at shortstop if Arias needs multiple games off or a stay on the IL.

Hits first homer Rocchio went 1-for-3 with a home run during Monday's 4-2 loss to the Royals.

Impact The two bookends to the Guardians lineup accounted for both runs Monday. Leadoff hitter Steven Kwan and Rocchio, batting in the ninth spot, each hit a solo home run, but it wouldn't be enough to earn Cleveland the win. As for Rocchio, it was the first home run of the season for the 25-year-old, who is off to a decent start to the year. On the season, he is slashing .200/.351/.333 with a double, four RBI, five walk and four strikeouts. His .685 OPS would set a career mark if he were to sustain that over the full season.

Brayan Rocchio's RBI single | 03/31/2026 The Official Site of Major League Baseball

APRIL 1 • MLB.COM

Delivers two runs in win Rocchio batted ninth and went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Mariners. He was also hit by a pitch.

Impact As expected, Rocchio was the Opening Day starter at second base, but less expected was his offensive impact. The light-hitting infielder is expected to be a lineup regular at second base, and Rocchio could quiet the calls for a quick promotion for Travis Bazzana, the team's first-round pick in 2024, if he can maintain a productive bat.

MARCH 27 • MLB.COM

Projected starter at 2B Rocchio is projected to be the Guardians' Opening Day starter at second base, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact This comes as no surprise, as Rocchio was pegged all along to be the team's starting second baseman. He and Gabriel Arias will form the infield's up-the-middle combo. Rocchio's strong second half in 2025 carried over into the Cactus League; he's slashing .313/.389/.531 with four doubles, one home run, four RBI, two steals and three runs scored over 12 spring contests. The job may not be his for the whole season, as prospect Travis Bazzana, the first-overall pick in 2024, is expected to arrive later this season.
