The big news of yesterday is something that turned out to not be big news, thankfully. Gabriel Arias was hit in the hand during last night’s 5-3 spring training win over the Cubs, but all signs point to simply a contusion — no broken bones — according to Zack Meisel and others.
Arias is on track to make the Guardians’ Opening Day roster as a super-utility player, so hopefully the swelling goes down and he’s ready to go on Thursday.
Guardians 5, Cubs 3
Box Score
Myles Straw is ready for the regular season.
