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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Arias is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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. 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Arias is hitting sixth and playing first base Tuesday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

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 base in the early part of the campaign. Josh Naylor is the designated hitter for Tuesday's contest, while Josh Bell will get a day off.
