Gabriel Arias Injury: Takes at-bats Thursday

Arias (ankle) took at-bats during a live batting practice session Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Arias was part of a BP session that featured injured starter Shane Bieber (elbow). It's an encouraging sign that Arias has returned to baseball activities after being carted off the field June 29, but as yet a return timeline for the infielder isn't clear.
