This seemed like a foregone conclusion after Juan Brito was sent to the minor leagues, but we now have confirmation. The Guardians are high on Arias, and the 25-year-old did hit three home runs and slug .469 in 51 plate appearances this spring. He's probably only an option in AL-only leagues at this point. The full Guardians lineup is: LF Steven Kwan, 3B Jose Ramirez, CF Lane Thomas, Carlos Santana, DH Kyle Manzardo, Jhonkensy Noel, Bo Naylor, Gabriel Arias, Brayan Rocchio.
Beck struck out three and walked none. The run came on a homer from Bo Naylor. Beck missed most of last year with an aneurysm in his pitching arm, but he returned at the end of the year and had a 1.69 ERA in six relief appearances and one start. He's back in the starting mix now, but it would take Kyle Harrison faltering or someone getting hurt to get him a spot in the Giants rotation. He could make the team as a middle reliever or head to Triple-A as insurance.
