Arias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Arias went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Arias went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Arias went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Arias went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.
