Arias suffered a fractured right hand while playing for Triple-A Columbus in the affiliate's 8-7 win over Louisville. He's set to undergo further testing, but he'll be placed on the 7-day injured list and is expected to miss several weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Arias is one of Cleveland's more interesting infield prospects and earned his first call-up earlier this season, though he was quickly moved back to the minors. He's mostly struggled through 17 games for Columbus, however, hitting .197/.269/.380 with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate. As a result of the injury, he won't get the chance to right the ship any time soon.

Arias has gone 2-for-18 with a home run and a walk in four starts for Triple-A Columbus since returning to the affiliate's lineup Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Arias was summoned from Triple-A to make his MLB debut last week, with Cleveland designating him as its 29th man for its April 20 doubleheader with the White Sox. He started in both ends of the twin bill, going 1-for-8 with two runs and an RBI.

Arias was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to serve as the 29th man in Wednesday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arias was sent to the minors in late March, and he's hit .278 with a homer, four doubles, six RBI, four runs and a stolen base in nine games at the Triple-A level to begin the year. He's one of Cleveland's top middle-infield prospects and will make his major-league debut Wednesday. The 22-year-old will start at second base and bat seventh in the first game of the twin bill, according to Bell.

The Guardians optioned Arias to Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being acquired from the Padres in August 2020, Arias made his debut for his new organization in 2021, spending the entire season with Columbus. Over his 483 plate appearances, Arias produced a respectable .802 OPS, but the Guardians will send him back to Columbus to begin 2022 for further refinement. Assuming his performance doesn't dramatically regress from a season ago, the 22-year-old should get the chance to make his big-league debut later in the campaign for a rebuilding Cleveland club that could be in evaluation mode in the second half.

Arias was added to Cleveland's 40-man roster Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Arias was traded from San Diego to Cleveland at the end of August last year, and he'll unsurprisingly join the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. The 20-year-old flashed his power at the High-A level in 2019, hitting .302 with 17 home runs and 75 RBI.

Arias was traded from San Diego to Cleveland on Monday along with Josh Naylor, Cal Quantrill and others in exchange for Mike Clevinger, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arias, a strong defensive shortstop with plus raw power, was one of the Padres' 10 best prospects. He logged a 120 wRC+ as the second-youngest player in the California League last year despite walking at just a 4.9 percent clip. Arias also finished the 2019 season strong, cutting his strikeout rate to 20.6 percent from July 1 on. He joins a loaded Cleveland farm system and could factor into the shortstop depth chart in 2022.

Arias will be part of the Padres' 60-man summer camp.

EDGE Analysis

Like the majority of the Padres' top prospects, Arias was included in the player pool for developmental purposes rather than to help the big-league club win in 2020. He is a great defensive shortstop and has impressive power for his age (20), but he could stand to improve his plate discipline (4.9 percent walk rate, 25 percent strikeout rate at High-A) before reaching the majors.

Arias is expected to be added to the Padres' 40-man roster following the 2020 season, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arias is likely to open the campaign at the Double-A level after slashing .302/.339/.470 with High-A Lake Elsinore last season. His age (he recently turned 20) and strong defense add to his attractiveness as a prospect, so the Padres will likely find a place for him on the 40-man roster during the next offseason as long as he continues on his current trajectory and is not traded elsewhere. While Arias has the range and plus-plus arm to excel at shortstop, Fernando Tatis seems to have locked down that position in San Diego for the foreseeable future.

Arias was returned to minor-league camp Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arias went 4-for-13 with three walks in Cactus League play, but he'll return to the minors to get more seasoning. The 20-year-old will likely open the season at the Double-A level after hitting .302 with 17 home runs with High-A Lake Elsinore last season.

Arias was added to San Diego's major-league spring training camp as a non-roster invitee.

EDGE Analysis

The soon-to-be 20-year-old will get a chance to train alongside big leaguers following a breakthrough 2019 campaign during which he hit .302 and slugged 17 home runs with High-A Lake Elsinore. Arias is likely to spend the entire regular season in the minors, but he could see time with the big club as soon as 2021 if he can improve his plate discipline and continue to impress defensively.
