Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Heading to Triple-A
The Cleveland Guardians optioned Gabriel Arias to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.The Guardians have valued Arias for his ability to play all over the infield and outfield during his time in the majors over parts of the last three seasons, but he had fallen out of favor lately, with recent call-ups Angel Martinez and Daniel Schneemann having supplanted him as superior utility options. Arias should get the opportunity to play on an everyday basis as he heads to Columbus, though it may take an injury to another Guardians position player or a downturn in performance from Martinez and/or Schneemann before Arias resurfaces in the big leagues.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Back to bench Sunday
Gabriel Arias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.Arias started in five of the past six games while seeing action at three different positions, but he'll head to the bench in Sunday's series finale. The Cleveland Guardians should continue to open up regular playing time for Arias against left-handed pitching, but his starting opportunities against right-handed pitching may be more sporadic while the Guardians have all of their regular hitters available with the exception of outfielder Will Brennan (ribs), who was recently placed on the injured list.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Homers, steals base in loss
Gabriel Arias went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base against Baltimore in a loss Wednesday.Arias accounted for two of Cleveland's five hits in the defeat and plated the team's final run with his fifth-inning solo homer. The utility man has perked up at the plate of late, batting an even .400 (10-for-25) with a pair of long balls and five RBI over his past nine games. Arias missed some time due to a family medical emergency during that span and isn't an everyday player for the Cleveland Guardians, so the hot stretch extends back to the beginning of June.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Activated, starting Monday
Gabriel Arias (personal) was reinstated from the family medical emergency list and will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's series opener in Baltimore.Cleveland sent infielder Angel Martinez back to Triple-A Columbus to make room on the 26-man active roster for Arias, who rejoins the big club after missing the previous three games while tending to a personal matter. Though he'll immediately enter the lineup in his return to the Cleveland Guardians as the Orioles send southpaw Cade Povich to the mound, the righty-hitting Arias is expected to serve as a bench player against right-handed pitching more often than not.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Pops second homer
Gabriel Arias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Marlins.Arias saw a run of playing time in late May and early June, but he's slipped back into a utility role over the last week. The infielder has gone a modest 6-for-28 (.214) over his last 10 contests, though he's recorded three extra-base hits in that span. Arias is slashing .215/.250/.339 with two homers, four stolen bases, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, seven doubles and a triple over 128 plate appearances this season.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Garners fifth straight start
Gabriel Arias will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Nationals.Arias will stick in the lineup for a fifth consecutive game, this time filling in at third base while Jose Ramirez gets a day out of the field and serves as Cleveland's designated hitter. In addition to the hot corner, Arias picked up starts at second base, shortstop and in right field over the previous four games. The Cleveland Guardians faced left-handed starters in three of those contests, and though Arias should be a fixture in the lineup versus lefties, he'll likely serve as more of a part-time player when Cleveland opposes righties.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Swipes bag in win
Gabriel Arias went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-4 win over the Angels.Arias had gone 5-for-34 (.147) over his first 14 games in May, so it's no surprise his playing time has been sparse lately. His last multi-hit effort was April 20. The 24-year-old is sporting a poor .224/.248/.337 slash line with one home run, four steals, nine RBI, 10 runs scored, six doubles and a triple over 101 plate appearances in a utility role.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Picks up steal
Gabriel Arias went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.Arias' last four starts have been evenly split between second and third, providing opportunities for Jose Ramirez and Andres Gimenez to get rest. Arias is off to a solid start this season in a utility role, slashing .278/.304/.426 with three steals, one home run, eight RBI and seven runs scored across 56 plate appearances. He's already played at six different positions this season, so he should be able to be in the lineup semi-regularly despite lacking a single obvious path to playing time.
