With shortstop José Iglesias, Argüelles defected from the Cuban junior national team while in Canada. Argüelles signed a major league contract with the Royals in December 2009.
After he signed, Argüelles developed shoulder pain that prevented him from pitching in 2010 and necessitated shoulder surgery in August 2010. He debuted in the Royals organization for the Class-A Wilmington Blue Rocks in 2011. After struggling with the Northwest Arkansas Naturals of the Class AA Texas League in 2013, the Royals outrighted Argüelles off of their 40-man roster.
On April 27, 2016, Arguelles signed a minor league deal with the Washington Nationals.
