Gabriel Arias Expected to Return Tuesday
Cleveland Guardians shortstop Gabriel Arias (hand) is expected to be ready to make a return on Tuesday night when the Guardians take on the Red Sox and Garrett Crochet. He was available off the bench on Monday after being hit in the right hand by a pitch in the bottom of the second inning last Friday against the Mariners. The 25-year-old had X-rays, which were negative, but still missed the last three games with a contusion. Arias is hitting exactly .222 for the second straight season and has added nine homers along with a career-high six stolen bases. He has been struggling at the plate over the last month, hitting just .179 in August, but he continues to turn in excellent defense for Cleveland. He's not a big enough offensive contributor to be a mixed-league option, but he is a regular in the lineup for the Guardians and brings a little pop and speed as a streaming option or DFS value play.
