Arruebarrena finished an interesting season having batted .287/.337/.418 in 194 at-bats between three levels.

A season-long suspension due to "repeated failures to comply with his contract" was eventually reduced to 30-games. The team never came right out and said what the suspension was for, though drugs were ruled out. Arruebarrena doesn't appear to have much of a future with the organization that signed him to a five-year $25 million contract two years ago.

Arruebarrena's suspension will last for the entire season, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

The reason cited was for "repeated failures to comply with his contract". Ambiguous indeed, but either way, don't expect to see Arruebarrena in a Dodgers uniform this year, and probably beyond.

Arruebarrena has been suspended indefinitely by the organization, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports.

Arruebarrena had yet to appear in a game this season at any level, so this development could explain why. Dodgers president Andrew Friedman declined to elaborate on the situation beyond calling it an "internal matter," so it's unclear at this point what the exact issue is or how long Arruebarrena will be held out of action.

Arruebarrena will remain in extended spring training to start the year, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

He's not hurt, so this will be presumably to work on his hitting.

Arruebarrena was reassigned to minor league camp Monday, True Blue LA reports.

Arruebarrena struggled in the minor leagues last season, prompting the Dodgers to remove him from the 40-man roster less than a year after he signed a $25 million contract. He'll likely open the season with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Arruebarrena was outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, but will be a non-roster invitee in spring training, Eric Stephens of True Blue LA reports.

Arruebarrena was designated for assignment Dec. 31 to make room on the 40-man roster for Brett Anderson. Regardless, he is still due $16 million over the next four years, so the Dodgers would have good reason to keep him a round with a strong spring training. He will face an uphill battle, however, with shortstop being a loaded position for the Dodgers.

Arruebarrena was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Wednesday.

This move comes as a surprise given the five-year, $25 million contract Arruebarrena signed with the Dodgers last offseason. Another team would have to take on Arruebarrena's contract if it were to claim him off waivers, so even though he is not a key part of the Dodgers' plans at the moment, it seems likely he will remain with the organization.

Arruebarrena is 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in two games since returning from a shoulder injury Friday.

He'll continue to have a limited utility role for the Dodgers, offering more with his glove than his bat at this point.

Arruebarrena has a shoulder injury and can't swing a bat, the L.A. Daily News' J.P. Hoornstra reports.

It's not clear how serious the injury is, but Arruebarrena is not a legitimate fantasy option in most formats, and was only going to see about a start every week if healthy.

Arruebarrena has rejoined the Dodgers as a September call-up, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports.

He was seen taking ground balls at shortstop prior to Tuesday's game, but with Hanley Ramirez, Alex Guerrero and Miguel Rojas also on the roster, Arruebarrena will struggle to see much playing time down the stretch.

Arruebarrena, who was optioned to High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday, will rejoin the Dodgers when rosters expand next week, the Dodgers' official site reports.

No big surprise. Just speculation here, but Arruebarrena's involvement in a benches-clearing brawl late last month while playing for Triple-A Albuquerque caused the organization to be more comfortable having him avoid the Pacific Coast League this year.

Arruebarrena was optioned to High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday.

Arruebarrena was the odd man out following Hanley Ramirez's return from the disabled list. He played in four of the past five games, collecting two hits, two RBI and two runs over that period. With just a week before rosters expand, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 24-year-old shortstop back with the Dodgers.

Arruebarrena was 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI single in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

Arruebarrena is now 6-for-19 with a pair of walks as a big leaguer, though his eight strikeouts are a bit concerning. It will be interesting to see what happens once Hanley Ramirez (oblique) returns in a few days, but Arruebarrena could be ticketed for Albuquerque shortly.

Arruebarrena, who was just called up from Triple-A Albuquerque, will start at shortstop Tuesday, True Blue L.A.'s Eric Stephen reports.

He will supplant Miguel Rojas, for a day at least, after slashing .333/.400/.452 in 95 plate appearances at Triple-A. Even if Arruebarrena impresses Tuesday, Hanley Ramirez (oblique) is nearing a return, at which point he'll be in the lineup most days at shortstop, meaning Arruebarrena could be optioned back to Triple-A.

Arruebarrena was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

He had been on the minor league DL with a shoulder injury, but is now healthy enough to offer middle infield depth on the big league roster. In eight games with the Dodgers this season, he has a .313 average, but he's never offered much pop or speed in the minor leagues, so a solid batting average is the best prospective owners could hope for from the bench player.

Arruebarrena has been placed on the 7-day DL with right shoulder inflammation, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

It doesn't look to be anything serious, so Arruebarrena should still be in line to be one of the club's September 1 callups.

Arruebarrena is back with Triple-A Albuquerque and appears recovered from a hip injury suffered in July.

Arruebarrena may need to wait for September 1 to get the call back up, despite the injury to Hanley Ramirez (oblique). He's batting .333 in 84 at-bats overall for Albuquerque.

Arruebarrena (hip) began a five-game suspension on Thursday for his role in a benches-clearing brawl while playing for Triple-A Albuquerque, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

Arruebarrena will return to the Dodgers at some point this season as a utility player.

Dodgers activated SS Erisbel Arruebarrena from the 15-day disabled list and optioned to High-A Rancho Cucamonga.

Arruebarrena had been sidelined since early July due to a right hip flexor strain. He created quite the stir on his minor league rehab assignment, starting a brawl in a game at Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

Dodgers placed SS Erisbel Arruebarrena on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 5, with a right hip flexor strain.

He evidently must have suffered the injury during Friday's game. Carlos Triunfel has been recalled to replace Arruebarrena on the roster.
