Likely out at least two more weeks Arauz (finger) said Monday that he expects to be sidelined at least another two weeks prior to beginning a rehab assignment, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact Arauz ha? been unavailable since late July due to a fractured finger, but he reiterated Monday that he doesn't expect to require surgery. He hopes he'll be able to swing a bat and throw this week, but it seems unlikely that he'll be cleared to rejoin the Orioles until sometime in late August.

Likely to avoid surgery Arauz doesn't believe he'll need surgery for his sprained right middle finger, but he could need four weeks for the ligament to fully heal, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports...
Impact Arauz's decision to forgo surgery will give him a more realistic chance to play again in 2022, but he still looks like he'll spend well beyond the minimum 10 days on the IL while he heals up from the injury. Terrin Vavra was summoned from Triple-A Norfolk earlier this week to provide the Orioles with an extra utility man off the bench while Arauz is on the mend.

Heads to IL The Orioles placed Arauz (finger) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Impact The sprained finger Arauz suffered Monday will keep him out at least until next Friday. Baltimore won't miss much offense in his absence, as he's managed just five hits with 12 strikeouts in 38 at-bats this season.
JULY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Battling finger sprain Arauz suffered a sprained finger during Monday's game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Arauz appeared to jam his finger into second base attempting to stretch a base hit into a double, and he's since been diagnosed with a sprained finger. He'll be considered day-to-day moving forward.
JULY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Leaves with hand injury Arauz exited Monday's game against the Rays with a right hand injury, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact Arauz suffered the injury while trying to make it to second base on a base knock, and he would be forced from the contest after being tagged out. The severity of his injury is unclear at this time.
JULY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Headed for bench with Urias back Arauz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.
Impact Arauz had started in three of the Orioles' last five games and went 1-for-9 with a pair of RBI, but he looks poised to lose out on his strong-side platoon role at third base now that Ramon Urias is back in action after a stint on the 10-day injured list. Instead, Arauz looks poised to fill a utility role moving forward and may only occasionally fill in for one of Urias, Jorge Mateo or Rougned Odor.

Sits against lefty Arauz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact With a lefty (Devin Smeltzer) on the bump for Minnesota, the lefty-hitting Arauz will take a seat for the second straight contest. Platoon mate Tyler Nevin will fill in for Arauz at third base.
JULY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Saturday Arauz isn't starting Saturday's game against the Twins, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact Arauz is getting a day off after he went 0-for-6 with four strikeouts over the last two games. Tyler Nevin is starting at the hot corner and batting eighth.
JULY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
On bench Tuesday Arauz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The lefty-hitting Arauz started at third base in each of the Orioles' last three games, going 3-for-12 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run. He'll take a seat Tuesday with southpaw Robbie Ray on the mound for Seattle, but Arauz looks as though he could occupy the large side of a platoon with Tyler Nevin at the hot corner until Ramon Urias (oblique) comes back from the injured list.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Starts at third base again Arauz will start at third base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Mariners, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Impact Arauz will remain in the lineup for the third straight game and is getting his second turn in a row at the hot corner at the expense of Tyler Nevin, who is on the bench again after sitting in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox. Though the Orioles weren't able to complete the four-game series sweep, Arauz did his best to keep Baltimore competitive Sunday by going 2-for-4 with his first home run of the season and an additional RBI. Considering that Nevin is hitting just .135 in June, the Orioles could be prepared to give Arauz a look in a near-everyday role at third base until Ramon Urias (oblique) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.
JUNE 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Hits first homer with new team Aruaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox.
Impact Arauz played in both of the Orioles' games this weekend, though he went hitless Saturday. He picked up his first hit of the season with a third-inning solo shot, then added an RBI single as the Orioles put together a rally in the ninth that fell one run short. Arauz is slashing only .111/.105/.278 with three RBI and two runs scored in 20 plate appearances between the Red Sox and the Orioles, and he'll likely be a utility infielder at best once Rougned Odor (back) returns to the starting nine.
JUNE 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Called up by Baltimore Arauz was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.
Impact The 23-year-old was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox on June 15 and will now join the Orioles after making three appearances with Norfolk. Arauz will provide infield depth and could immediately see some playing time since Rougned Odor (back) is banged up and Ramon Urias (oblique) is on the injured list.

Claimed by Baltimore Arauz was claimed off waivers by the Orioles and optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
Impact Arauz was designated for assignment by Boston on Wednesday, but he'll land a spot on the Orioles' 40-man roster. Over 24 games at Triple-A Worcester this year, the 23-year-old hit .185 with five doubles, 11 runs, three RBI and a stolen base.

Impact Arauz was called up by Boston on Wednesday, and he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Thursday's loss to the Angels. The 23-year-old will be cast off the 40-man roster after Rob Refsnyder's contract was selected by the Red Sox.
