The Mets claimed Arias off waivers from the Guardians on Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Arias was removed from the Guardians' 40-man roster earlier this week after collecting a .244/.284/.386 slash line with five homers and a 42.5 percent strikeout rate in 134 plate appearances this season. The 26-year-old does not have minor-league options remaining, so he will join the Mets' active roster. New York will have to make a corresponding transaction when Arias reports to the club.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: DFA'd by Cleveland
Rotowire
Cleveland designated Arias for assignment Wednesday.
Arias last appeared Tuesday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Mets. With top prospect Angel Genao coming up to the big-league club, Arias loses his spot on the active and 40-man rosters. On the season, the 26-year-old Arias has slashed .244/.284/.386 with five homers and 11 RBI in 134 plate appearances. After spending his first five major-league seasons with Cleveland, Arias may very well be on the move to another organization.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Fills in at hot corner
Rotowire
Arias started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Mets.
Arias replaced the injured Jose Ramirez (hand) at the hot corner and it didn't go well for the Guardians. Arias' throwing error in the second inning led to three unearned runs, and at the plate, he left three runners in scoring position. Ramirez is experiencing soreness in his left hand, the same one he had surgery on in June to repair a hamate bone fracture.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: On-base three times in win
Rotowire
Arias started at second base and went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored during Wednesdays 6-1 win over the Reds.
Arias has seen his playing time dwindle since Jose Ramirez (hand) came off the injured list, but he got the start at second base Wednesday with Travis Bazzana moving to designated hitter. Arias now has a hit in six of his last seven games. The 26-year-old is having the best hitting season of his career with a .261/.302/.412 slash line and five home runs, but he could have trouble finding regular starts since Ramirez, Bazzana, and Brayan Rocchio are locked into starting roles.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Likely to shift into utility role
Rotowire
Arias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Arias had started in three of the Guardians' previous four games, but he'll likely shift into more of a utility role moving forward after Jose Ramirez (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Since returning June 14 following an extended stay on the IL, Arias has played in 25 games for the Guardians and has produced a .260/.299/.397 batting line with three home runs, four stolen bases, nine runs and six RBI.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Three hits, two steals vs. Miami
Rotowire
Arias went 3-for-4 with three singles, two steals and a run scored during the Guardians' 4-1 win over the Marlins on Saturday.
Arias set a season high with three hits Saturday and is now up to three steals on the season following his two swipes against the Marlins. He continues to see regular playing time at the hot corner, but that should change once Jose Ramirez (hand) returns from the injured list, with the latter targeting a return shortly after the All-Star break. Arias has a .712 OPS with 10 RBI and seven extra-base hits across 93 plate appearances this season.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Goes deep in loss
Rotowire
Arias started at third base and went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the White Sox.
Arias wiped out Chicago's 6-3 lead with a three-run blast in the fifth inning. It was the fourth home run of the season for Arias, who continues to be the primary fill-in for the injured Jose Ramirez (hand) at third base. Ramirez recently began hitting off a tee and could progress to overhand pitching in the coming days but remains on his post-surgery timeline of five-to-seven weeks. That means Arias should continue as a lineup regular until late July. Since returning from his own injury, Arias is 11-for-47 (.234) with two home runs, five RBI, one steal and six runs scored over 16 games.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Taking seat Saturday
Rotowire
Arias out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Arias will be on the bench to begin Saturday's contest while Daniel Schneemann starts at third base and bats seventh. Since coming off the 60-day injured list June 14, Arias is batting just .214 with one home run and two RBI, but he started the hot corner in each of the previous seven games and is expected to operate as the Guardians' preferred option at the position until Jose Ramirez (hand) returns from the injured list.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Smacks homer in loss
Rotowire
Arias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's loss to the Rangers.
Arias got Cleveland on the board with a 107.5 mph solo shot to left-center field in the fifth inning, accounting for his lone hit of the game. The 26-year-old has started three straight games and five of the past eight contests at third base as the Guardians look to patch things together at the hot corner while Jose Ramirez (hand) is sidelined. Overall, Arias is slashing .217/.254/.400 with three homers, six RBI, four runs and a stolen base across 63 plate appearances this season.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Claiming third straight start
Rotowire
Arias will start at third base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Rangers.
After returning to the active roster June 14 following an extended stint on the injured list, Arias got off to a rough start while filling a utility role for the Guardians, slashing just .182/.182/.227 with 13 strikeouts in seven games. With Daniel Schneemann having endured an even longer dry spell at the plate, the Guardians appear to have turned third base over to Arias while the club awaits the return of Jose Ramirez (hand) from the injured list. Arias will draw a third consecutive start after going 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run over the final two games of the Guardians' weekend series versus the Mariners.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Out of lineup again Wednesday
Rotowire
Arias is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the White Sox.
Arias will be on the bench for a second straight day after he started the previous two games but went 0-for-9 with seven strikeouts between those contests. Even though Jose Ramirez's (hand) move to the injured list June 14 has opened up a spot in the lineup at third base, Arias may have to settle for being part of a timeshare at the position with Daniel Schneemann, who receives the starting nod Wednesday.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Resting up Saturday
Rotowire
Arias isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Houston, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Returns to action
Rotowire
Arias started at third base and went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Milwaukee.
In Cleveland's first game without injured third baseman Jose Ramirez (hand), Arias got the call at the hot corner against a left-hander. It was his first appearance since being activated off the injured list Sunday. Ramirez's injury is expected to keep him sidelined between five and seven weeks, so there will be more opportunities for Arias. He could share third base with the left-handed-hitting Daniel Schneemann, while both have the ability to defend multiple positions around the diamond.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Comes back from IL
Rotowire
The Guardians reinstated Arias (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Sunday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Arias served as the primary shortstop to begin the season and posted a .683 OPS over 10 games before landing on the IL due to a hamstring strain, but he's likely to fill a utility role upon his return now that standout rookie Travis Bazzana has settled into an everyday role at the keystone, with Brayan Rocchio established at shortstop. Arias could see most of his playing time at third base while Jose Ramirez (hand) is sidelined due to a hamate bone fracture, but he'll be competing for reps with Daniel Schneemann.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: May be needed at third base
Rotowire
Arias (hamstring) is one option to fill in at third base after Jose Ramirez suffered a fractured left hamate bone Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Arias is currently on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus, where he's being prepared for a utility role, including one game at third base. Daniel Schneemann and David Fry are also possibilities on the current roster. Arias can be activated off the 60-day IL at any point.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Building up at multiple positions
Rotowire
Arias (hamstring) will play multiple positions while on a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.
Arias began his rehab at Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, when he played five innings at shortstop. Prior to his injury in early April, Arias was the starting shortstop, but these rehab plans indicate a different role when he returns. "We just want to have Gabby prepared for whatever the situation/role is," Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Friday. During his five seasons in the majors, Arias has played all four infield positions along with limited exposure to all three outfield spots.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Opens rehab assignment
Rotowire
Arias (hamstring) started at shortstop and went 0-for-1 with a walk for Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
Arias opened a rehab assignment with the Clippers and played five innings in the field before taking a seat for the final four frames. He's been out since early April, which suggests he'll use up most of the allotted 20 days for position players on a rehab assignment. Given the performances of Brayan Rocchio at shortstop and Travis Bazzana at second base, Arias may have to settle for a utility role once he's ready.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Beginning assignment Thursday
Rotowire
Arias (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Arias has been on the shelf since early April due to a strained left hamstring, but a week after resuming baseball activities, he's now ready to test his hamstring in a competitive setting. He's likely to require an extended rehab assignment because he's been out for so long, but he should be able to return from the IL by the end of June.
