Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Starting in return from IL
Rotowire
The Guardians activated Arias (ankle) from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting at shortstop and batting sixth Friday against the Royals.
The 25-year-old landed on the shelf at the start of July due to an ankle sprain but is ready to rejoin the Guardians after a four-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus. Arias should take over as Cleveland's primary shortstop, though his .231/.293/.369 slash line through 77 games this season likely won't provide much job security.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Could return this weekend
Rotowire
Arias (ankle) could be activated off the 10-day injured list ahead of this weekend's series against the Royals, MLB.com reports.
Arias has played four games so far on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus, including two consecutive nine-inning contests at shortstop Tuesday and Wednesday. The back-to-back work in the field suggests his activation is imminent. Prior to the injury, Arias operated as the Guardians' primary shortstop, having replaced a struggling Brayan Rocchio, but it's unclear if he'll return in the same role. Rocchio, who was called up when Arias landed on the IL in early July, has hit .254 (15-for-59) with a .709 OPS, eight extra-base hits and 11 RBI over 20 games. Those results are much better than what he posted over the first 35 games of the season, and which got him demoted in early May.
