On 19 August 2014, Araujo scored his first goal for Santos in a 3–0 win over UAT in the Copa MX.[9] He won his first cup with Santos Laguna following their victory over Puebla in the final of the Apertura Copa MX.[10] The following year, Araujo won his first league title as Santos defeated Querétaro in the finals of the Clausura tournament.[11] On 20 July, Santos defeated Club América to win the 2015 Campeón de Campeones cup; Araujo started the match and played all 90 minutes.[12]

In May 2018, Santos Laguna defeated Toluca to win the Clausura tournament following a 3–2 aggregate score in the finals. Araujo missed the finals due to an injury he suffered while on international duty with the Mexico national team.[13]

On 27 March 2018, during a friendly match against Croatia, Araujo was forced off the pitch after 15 minutes when suffering an knee injury.[18] He was sidelined since then, however in May he was named in Mexico's preliminary 28-man squad for the World Cup in Russia but had to withdraw due to experiencing tendonitis during his recovery.[19][20]
