Gabriel Arias - Page 14 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Emerges as primary shortstop Arias will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox, Andre Knott of Bally Sports Ohio reports.

Impact 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.

Shortstop wanted: Guardians have a vacancy and several candidates to fill it Gabriel Arias and Tyler Freeman will get the first chance at replacing Amed Rosario.

Two hits, steal in win Arias went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-3 win over Kansas City.

Impact 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.

It's Time For The Guardians To Option Gabriel Arias Back To Triple-A Gabriel Arias has fallen out of the Cleveland Guardians’ lineups and could play every day with the Columbus Clippers.

JULY 5, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Back on bench Wednesday Arias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact 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.

Swats fourth home run Arias went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 12-8 win over the Orioles.

Impact Since mid-May, Arias has gotten 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), so despite the poor overall numbers, the Guardians will likely continue to find ways to get Arias' bat in the lineup, as they currently have the second-worst offense in MLB (3.6 runs per game).

JUNE 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Garners fifth straight start Arias will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact 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.

Nearly heroic in extra-inning loss Arias hit a two-run home run in his only at-bat in Friday's 10-9 extra-inning loss to the Mets.

Impact 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.

Cranks homer Arias went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Thursday's victory over the White Sox.

Impact 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.

Gets start in right field Arias is starting in right field and batting sixth for the Guardians on Friday against the Angels.

Impact 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.

"He's Too Important To Our Future:" Guardians Want Gabriel Arias To Get More Playing Time The Cleveland Guardians are willing to play Gabriel Arias in the outfield in order to get him more at-bats.

Returns to utility role Arias is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Arias recently wrapped up a seven-game stretch in which he made six starts in the infield, but his path to steady playing time has likely closed now that Amed Rosario is healthy again after recently overcoming a back injury. Josh Naylor, Josh Bell, Andres Gimenez, Rosario and Jose Ramirez will continue to make up the Guardians' four starters in the infield and at designated hitter more often than not, forcing Arias to settle for a limited role as a utility man.

Picks up fourth straight start Arias will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Arias will be picking up his fourth consecutive start Wednesday, with three coming at shortstop while Amed Rosario has been on the mend from a back injury. Though prior reports have suggested Rosario is due to return to the lineup Friday against the Marlins, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com relayed Wednesday that the Guardians planned to call up top middle-infield prospect Brayan Rocchio from Triple-A Columbus, which likely implies more concern about Rosario's health than anticipated. Even if Rosario winds up on the injured list, Rocchio would most likely inherit the everyday gig at shortstop, resulting in Arias fading back into a utility role.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting a start at first base Arias is starting at first base and batting second for the Guardians in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Impact It's the second game in a row that Arias has been in the two spot for the Guardians after he filled in at shortstop for Amed Rosario (back) on Sunday. Arias is just 1-for-12 versus lefties this season, but that one hit was a home run. He'll go up against southpaw Matthew Boyd in this contest.

Homers in loss Arias went 1-for-4 with a homer in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.

Impact Arias tied the game at 2-2 with a solo blast off J.P. Sears. It's the first homer of the season for the 23-year-old, and he second of his young MLB career in 21 career games. Arias is expected to get regular playing time against left-handers, and should be eligible for multiple positions in the next couple of months.

APRIL 5, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Gets start at 1B Arias is hitting sixth and playing first base Tuesday against the Athletics.

Impact Arias is expected to serve in a utility role this season that will see him play all over the diamond, and he's getting a look at first in the early part of the campaign. Josh Naylor is the designated hitter for Tuesday's contest, and Josh Bell will get a day off.

Impact Arias will get his first start of the year with left-hander Marco Gonzales on the bump for Seattle. Jose Ramirez will get a rest on defense as the designated hitter, and Josh Naylor will take a seat for the series finale. Arias is expected to serve as a utility player who will get starts all over the infield during the 2023 campaign.

Available for Monday's contest Arias (hand) is listed as an available reserve option for Monday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Arias hasn't played in any games since Friday after suffering a right hand contusion, but he looks like he could get the chance to see action in the Guardians' penultimate contest of the spring. Even if the Guardians stay away from him Monday, Arias should be able to play in Tuesday's spring finale versus the Diamondbacks, putting him on track to head into Opening Day at full strength. He's expected to serve as a utility man for Cleveland and likely won't be in line for steady at-bats so long as all of the Guardians' core infielders are healthy.

Exits with bruise on right hand Guardians manager Terry Francona announced that Arias left Friday's game against the Cubs with a contusion on his right hand, Mandy Bell of MLB.comreports.

Impact Arias was hit in the same hand that he broke in 2022, but he underwent a scan and everything has come back OK according to Francona. The utility player is not scheduled to undergo X-rays just yet, but the team might be waiting for any swelling to go down. For now, Arias should be considered day-to-day.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias leaves game after getting hit on the hand by a pitch Guardians utility infielder Gabriel Arias suffered a broken right hand last year at Class AAA Columbus.

Leaves Friday after HBP Arias left Friday's Cactus League game after being hit near his hand by a pitch, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Arias had a broken right hand that sidelined him in 2022, and he is expected to serve as a utility player for the Guardians in 2023. He immediately dropped to the ground after being hit, and looked to be in significant pain. If he ends up landing on the IL to begin the season, Tyler Freeman might be recalled to take Arias' spot on Cleveland's bench.
