Tug Arundel played parts of three seasons in the majors prior to 1888, starting in 1882, when he appeared in one game with Philadelphia in the American Association. Earlier in 1882, he played for the Camden club (the Merritt), along with Charlie Alcott. This club was one of several that played regular exhibition games against some of the clubs in the American Association, which is likely how he was introduced to the Athletics. In 1887, he split time with George Meyers in Indianapolis, but hit only .197 in 43 games. He had a reputation as a tough catcher; he did not use a chest protector, mask or glove. Coming into the 1888 season, Indianapolis had Meyers returning, along with Dick Buckley, who had played with Syracuse in the International League the previous two seasons. Arundel, figuring he was not going to play much in Indianapolis, asked for his release in mid-April. He was released by Indianapolis April 20, and a few days later he signed with the Whites. He arrived in St. Louis right at the start of the season and was added to the roster in early May. He played in 18 games with the Whites, mostly as the catcher for Fred Nyce. On May 31, Nyce hurt his hand trying to field "a hot one near the box", and Arundel came out from behind the plate to pitch 7 innings.

After the Whites disbanded, Arundel signed with Washington of the National League. He hit .196 in 17 games, and then bounced around the minor leagues for a few more years. His last season in professional baseball was 1891. When Arundel was signed by Washington, the Evening Star of Washington DC noted that "he has not been in great demand because he was a difficult man to handle." Sullivan, the manager of the Washington club, had managed Arundel before (with Memphis in 1885 and Milwaukee in 1886) and presumably knew how to handle him. Despite being difficult to handle, Arundel had a reputation as being a good catcher.
