On August 31, 2020, the Padres traded Arias, Austin Hedges, Josh Naylor, Cal Quantrill, Owen Miller, and Joey Cantillo to the Cleveland Indians in exchange for Mike Clevinger, Greg Allen, and Matt Waldron.[6] The Indians selected Arias' contract on November 20, 2020, adding him to their 40-man roster.[7]

He spent the 2021 season with the Triple-A Columbus Clippers.[8][9] After beginning the 2022 season with Columbus, Arias was recalled by the Cleveland Guardians as the 29th man for their April 20, 2022, doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox.[10]
