Arias started at second base and batted leadoff for the Guardians in this one. With Juan Brito optioned to Triple-A Columbus and Tyler Freeman traded to the Rockies, it seems as though Arias and Daniel Schneemann are likely to open the season in a platoon at second base, with Arias seeing strong-side at-bats there. He has hit .261 (12-for-46) with three homers, five RBI and a stolen base so far in Cactus League play.
