The 26-year-old was hurt while running out a double in the fifth inning and left the game. He was Tuesday after undergoing medical tests, the results of which were announced Wednesday.
“He’s in some pain,” Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said before the three-game series finale against the Royals.
Arias, who is batting .200 with two homers and four RBIs in 10 games, will be re-examined weekly throughout his rehabilitation. This is his third full season as a starter for Cleveland.
The Guardians recalled second baseman Juan Brito from Triple-A Columbus to take his place in the lineup, while moving Brayan Rocchio from second to shortstop. They started the final two contests against Kansas City.
