Cleveland designated Arias for assignment Wednesday.
Analysis:Arias last appeared Tuesday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Mets. With top prospect Angel Genao coming up to the big-league club, Arias loses his spot on the active and 40-man rosters. On the season, the 26-year-old Arias has slashed .244/.284/.386 with five homers and 11 RBI in 134 plate appearances. After spending his first five major-league seasons with Cleveland, Arias may very well be on the move to another organization.
