With shortstop José Iglesias, Argüelles defected from the Cuban junior national team while in Canada.[1] Argüelles signed a major-league contract with the Kansas City Royals in December 2009.[2]

After he signed, Argüelles developed shoulder pain that prevented him from pitching in 2010 and necessitated shoulder surgery in August 2010.[3] He debuted in the Royals organization for the Class A Wilmington Blue Rocks in 2011. After struggling with the Northwest Arkansas Naturals of the Double-A Texas League in 2013, the Royals outrighted Argüelles off of their 40-man roster.[4][5]

On April 27, 2016, Arguelles signed a minor league deal with the Washington Nationals. He last pitched professionally for the independent Joplin Blasters during the 2016 season.[6]

In four seasons pitching in Minor League Baseball, Argüelles compiled a 10–30 win–loss record with a 5.47 earned run average (ERA).[6]
