"He stuck around the Padres organization in the lower levels of the minors until he was plucked from San Diego by the Marlins in the minor league phase of the 2021 Rule 5 draft. He made his organizational debut in 2022 and mostly pitched well at the Single-A level before enjoying something of a breakout season in 2023 when he posted a 1.84 ERA in 58 2/3 innings of work between the High-A and Double-A levels."
"That excellent performance earned Arias his first call-up to Triple-A in 2023, and in 86 1/3 innings of work at the level over the past two seasons he's mostly looked quite good with a 3.23 ERA in 59 outings. A 22.0% strikeout rate against a 9.7% walk rate leaves something to be desired, but those peripheral numbers looked better in 2024 than they have this year, when he's struck out just 8.5% of his opponents while walking 15.9% in 15 appearances."
Luarbert Arias, 24, has been outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville after the Marlins passed him through waivers following a designation for assignment. Arias made his major league debut earlier this year. He signed with the Padres as an amateur and debuted professionally in 2018 before being selected by Miami in the minor league phase of the 2021 Rule 5 draft. Arias posted a 1.84 ERA in 58 2/3 innings across High-A and Double-A in 2023 and a 3.23 ERA in 86 1/3 Triple-A innings over two seasons. Control and strikeout decline emerged in 2024 and in a 10 1/3 inning big-league stint with an 11.32 ERA. He cannot reject the outright assignment now and will qualify for minor league free agency after the season if not added back to the 40-man roster.
