GuardiansGabriel Arias Sidelined 4–8 Weeks With Confirmed Hamstring Strain

Cleveland taps Brayan Rocchio to stabilize shortstop.

Overview

  • The team said Wednesday that an MRI confirmed a moderate left hamstring strain for Arias and set a 4–8 week recovery with weekly checkups.
  • Arias exited Monday’s game after pulling up on a fifth-inning double and was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
  • Brayan Rocchio shifts from second base to become the everyday shortstop while Arias recovers.
  • The Guardians recalled infielder Juan Brito from Triple-A Columbus, and manager Stephen Vogt plans to play him a lot at second base.
  • Daniel Schneemann is the primary backup at shortstop, with minor-league options Angel Martínez, Angel Genao, and Milan Tolentino available if needed.
