I think Arauz was claimed to be our 13th position player/4th bench player once the 13 man pitching limit kicks in.

Who else is going to take that role?  We don’t have any other position player vet to do it, so why not claim a guy that brings speed and defense?

Isn't that what Martin is here for?

I don’t understand why they don’t give Martin a look at 3B. Even if it’s just late in some blowout games. There’s literally no backup to Nevin.

Urias can't come back soon enough.  Nevin doesn't bring anything with the glove and doesn't do anything offensively other than hit the occasional HR.

Yes, but we have to have a 4 man bench.     Don’t want a “prospect” sitting. So I’m thinking that Arauz was claimed to be our designated 4th bench player.
