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.

Arias is hitting sixth and playing third base against the Mariners on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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