EDGE Analysis

Approximately six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair his fractured right hand, Arias is ready for game action. Due to the lengthy layoff, Arias could stick around in the ACL for several games as he attempts to regain his timing at the plate. Prior to suffering the hand injury and landing on Triple-A Columbus' 7-day injured list, Arias was hitting .197 over 78 plate appearances with the Guardians' top affiliate.
