Cuban shortstop Erisbel Arruebarrena has secured a visa and joined the Los Angeles Dodgers nearly three weeks after signing a five-year, $25 million contract.

The 23-year-old spent Thursday morning meeting many of his new teammates.

Arruebarrena has a reputation for being a slick fielder, but his bat is more of a question mark. He batted .276 with 67 doubles, 27 home runs and 171 RBIs in 437 games in the Cuban Serie Nacional.
