Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre placed Arias on the 7-day injured list March 28.

EDGE Analysis

The hard-throwing righty was dealt from the Cubs to the Yankees in exchange for cash in January after the Cubs had designated Arias for assignment. The days of Arias starting are over, but he had eight strikeouts and one walk in five one-inning spring training appearances and could develop into a high-leverage reliever in a couple years.

The Yankees optioned Arias to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees acquired Arias from the Cubs in January, and he'll officially be headed to Triple-A to begin his tenure with his new organization. The 23-year-old reached Triple-A for the first time last season, finishing with a 5.45 ERA and 2.11 WHIP across 36.1 innings at Iowa.

The Yankees acquired Arias from the Cubs on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.

EDGE Analysis

Arias was designated for assignment earlier this week and is now on the move to a new organization. The 23-year-old held a 4.77 ERA and walked 48 over 60.1 innings between Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa in 2024, but he also struck out 72 and offers good stuff from a sidearm delivery. The Yankees will be tasked with getting him to throw more strikes, and if they're able to, he might be a sneaky addition.

The Cubs designated Arias for assignment Monday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the signing of Colin Rea. Arias, 23, made a full-time move to relief in 2024 and split the season between Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa, compiling a 4.77 ERA and 72:48 K:BB over 60.1 innings.

Arias was optioned to Double-A Tennessee by the Cubs on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arias netted a 40-man roster spot this offseason but didn't have a chance to break camp with the big club. The 22-year-old has yet to advance past A-ball but should open 2024 in Tennessee's rotation.
