Arias is back at shortstop and batting at the bottom of the lineup for Cleveland. He is hitting .355 with a pair of home runs so far in June.

Gabriel Arias went 2-for-3 with a home run, an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base in the Guardians' 4-2 loss to the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, while solid, underscores his season-long struggle with consistency at the plate, evidenced by a modest .241 batting average and a high strikeout rate of 0.319. Despite the home run, which is just his third of the season, Arias's power numbers have been less than stellar. His ability to add stolen bases is a plus, but fantasy managers should remain cautious. Arias's low walk rate of 0.035 suggests difficulty in sustaining on-base opportunities, which limits his scoring and RBI chances.
