Gabriel Arias News: Strikeout rate spiking

Arias went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Athletics.

Arias struck out multiple times for the sixth time over his last seven games (14 Ks in 22 at-bats). He's always had a tendency to swing and miss -- his 31.2 strikeout percentage in 2025 marks his third consecutive season over 30 percent -- but the versatile infielder has taken it new extremes in June. Arias is batting .185 (10-for-54) with 25 strikeouts (43.1 percent) through 16 contests this month.
