Gabriel Arias - Pops second homerArias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Marlins.
ImpactArias saw a run of playing time in late May and early June, but he's slipped back into a utility role over the last week. The infielder has gone a modest 6-for-28 (.214) over his last 10 contests, though he's recorded three extra-base hits in that span. Arias is slashing .215/.250/.339 with two homers, four stolen bases, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, seven doubles and a triple over 128 plate appearances this season.

Nick Sandlin - Secures win SundaySandlin (5-0) pitched a perfect inning to earn the win Sunday over the Marlins.
ImpactThe Guardians took the lead in the seventh inning after Sandlin worked the sixth, making him the pitcher of record. While he's allowed multiple runs in two of his last nine outings, he hasn't been charged with a run in his other seven appearances in that span. Sandlin is at a 2.63 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB over 27.1 innings this season while adding a save, four holds and a blown save. The strength of the Guardians' bullpen has kept him from seeing more consistent high-leverage work, as he continues to see mostly middle-innings assignments.

Jake Burger - Salvages day with late homerBurger went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians.
ImpactBurger went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in his first three plate appearances Sunday, but flipped his production in the ninth inning with a solo homer off Emmanuel Clase. The long ball was his fifth of the year and just his second in 31 games. On the year, Burger owns a .597 OPS but is striking out at a 24.4 percent clip, which would be a career low if it holds.
