Guardians' Arias Injured, Brito Debuts Amidst Roster Shake-up
7 Apr
Summary
- Gabriel Arias placed on 10-day injured list for left hamstring strain.
- Juan Brito called up from Triple-A Columbus for MLB debut.
- Arias expected to miss at least one month due to moderate hamstring strain.
Cleveland Guardians' shortstop Gabriel Arias was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday due to a strained left hamstring. Arias sustained the injury during the fifth inning of Monday night's game while running to second base. This injury comes at a difficult time for Arias, who had been performing well recently.
In Arias's place, Juan Brito has been called up from Triple-A Columbus and is set to make his major league debut. Manager Stephen Vogt expressed excitement for Brito, highlighting his decision-making at the plate, contact ability, and power. Brito, in his seventh professional season, was batting .314 with four RBI in nine games for Columbus this season. He will primarily cover second base during Arias's absence, with Brayan Rocchio and Daniel Schneemann also seeing time at shortstop.
