Availability
Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said he expects Gabriel Arias' rehab from a left hamstring strain is "going to be a little bit longer" and that it "hit a little snag."
Fantasy Impact
Arias was initially given a timetable of 4-8 weeks when he went on the injured list on April 7. He remains without a clear timetable to return.
Arias suffered the injury during Monday's 4-2 loss to Kansas City and has been diagnosed with a moderate left hamstring strain. The Guardians announced Wednesday he is expected to miss 4-to-8 weeks, keeping him out through at least early-to-mid May.
Fantasy Impact
Brayan Rocchio is expected to take over as Cleveland's full-time shortstop during the absence, with Daniel Schneemann and Juan Brito forming a potential platoon at second base.
Arias strained his left hamstring Monday against Kansas City while legging out a double. The grade of the strain has not been disclosed, leaving his return timetable unclear. Cleveland placed him on the 10-day IL Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Brayan Rocchio is expected to shift from second base to shortstop to cover for Arias. Daniel Schneemann figures to be the primary option at second, with recalled infielder Juan Brito also available.
Arias left Monday's game in the fifth inning after suffering a hamstring injury on his way to a double. Daniel Schneemann pinch ran for him and Brayan Rocchio took over at shortstop.
Fantasy Impact
Arias is scheduled for an MRI Tuesday and is unlikely to play in Cleveland's game, which has been moved up to a 1:10 PM first pitch due to frigid weather in the area.
Gabriel Arias went 1-for-2 in a 4-1 win over the Cubs with a solo home run, a walk, a run scored, and one RBI.
Fantasy Impact
After Friday's win, Arias is batting .143 with two home runs, two RBI, two runs scored, and no stolen bases through seven games. He continues to make hard contact, which fantasy managers hope will turn into consistent, everyday production for the shortstop.
