| Jun 16 2025 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia had started in four of the Rockies' past five games at three different positions, but he'll hit the bench Monday and may have to settle for more of a part-time role moving forward. With the Rockies recalling Michael Toglia from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday and likely to reinstall him as their everyday first baseman, Arcia's main pathways to playing time could come at shortstop and designated hitter moving forward. |
|
| Jun 14 2025 | Arcia isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia singled against his former club Friday to extend his hitting streak to four games. He'll grab a seat on the bench Saturday, opening up a spot in the lineup for Mickey Moniak to work as Colorado's DH. |
|
| Jun 6 2025 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia had made four consecutive starts, two at shortstop, one at third base and one at second base. However, he'll get a breather Friday as Ryan Ritter makes his MLB debut and plays shortstop. |
|
| Jun 1 2025 | Arcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Sunday against the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia made his second start with the Rockies since signing with the team Monday. He delivered his home run to start the third inning, his first with Colorado. Arcia is likely to remain in a reserve role, barring injury. |
|
| May 26 2025 | The Rockies are signing Arcia to a major-league contract, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It didn't take long for Arcia to find work after being released by Atlanta on Sunday. Once his deal with Colorado is finalized, he'll look to join his new club on the current road trip in Chicago, per Alvarez-Montes. It's unclear as to where Arcia will fit in with his new club with Ezequiel Tovar appearing locked into the starting shortstop role, though the veteran could get looks at second base given Adael Amador's struggles so far this season. |
|
| May 25 2025 | Atlanta released Arcia on Sunday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: No team was willing to take on the money remaining on Arcia's $2 million contract for 2025 after Atlanta designated him for assignment a few days earlier, but now that he's been released, the 30-year-old shouldn't have too much trouble catching on elsewhere on a minor-league or lower-cost MLB deal. Since Dansby Swanson left for the Cubs following the 2022 campaign, Arcia had spent the past two seasons as Atlanta's primary shortstop and entered 2025 atop the depth chart, but he was quickly supplanted by newcomer Nick Allen. With Allen having taken hold of a regular role since mid-April, Arcia hadn't made any starts in a month before Atlanta elected to drop him from the 40-man roster. |
|
| May 23 2025 | Atlanta designated Arcia for assignment Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old was Atlanta's Opening Day shortstop but quickly lost out on playing time to Nick Allen and has just 32 plate appearances this year. Arcia was an All-Star in 2023 but took a major step back last season with a .218/.271/.354 slash line in 157 regular-season games. |
|
| Apr 14 2025 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia has started just three times in the last 11 games and appears to have ceded the top job at shortstop to Nick Allen, who has produced a .321/.367/.393 slash line so far this season. Meanwhile, Arcia has struggled mightily at the plate, posting a .490 OPS while striking out at a career-worst 28 percent clip over 25 plate appearances. |
|
| Apr 13 2025 | Arcia is not in Atlanta's starting lineup against Tampa Bay on Sunday, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the third time in four games, Arcia will begin the contest in the dugout while Nick Allen gets the start at shortstop and bats eighth. Arcia has gone 4-for-17 with one run scored and one RBI over his last five outings. |
|
| Apr 12 2025 | Arcia is not in Atlanta's starting lineup against Tampa Bay on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia went 0-for-4 in Friday's series opener, and he'll begin Saturday's contest in the dugout while Nick Allen gets the start at shortstop. Arcia has started the season slashing .208/.240/.250 with one RBI across 25 plate appearances. |
|
| Apr 10 2025 | Arcia isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia has gone 3-for-7 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in two games since his four-game benching, but he'll get another day off Thursday while Nick Allen starts at shortstop and bats ninth. |
|
| Apr 9 2025 | Arcia will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After a four-game benching, Arcia returned to the lineup Tuesday and reached base twice in four plate appearances in Atlanta's 7-5 win. He'll get another chance to build on that performance by starting again Wednesday as he looks to solidify himself as Atlanta's everyday shortstop ahead of Nick Allen. |
|
| Apr 4 2025 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After starting four of the first five games of the season, Arcia has now been absent from the lineup in three straight contests. Nick Allen will make his third straight start at shortstop and bat eighth. |
|
| Apr 2 2025 | Arcia isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia will get a second consecutive day off after beginning the season 2-for-13 with five strikeouts. Nick Allen will fill in at shortstop and bat sixth. |
|
| Apr 1 2025 | Arcia is absent from Atlanta's lineup against the Dodgers on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in the series opener against the Dodger on Monday. He will get his second off day of the season with Nick Allen starting at shortstop and batting ninth. |
|
| Mar 28 2025 | Arcia is not in Atlanta's starting lineup against San Diego on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia started at shortstop on Opening Day and went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts. He'll begin Friday's contest in the dugout while Nick Allen gets the start at shortstop and bats eighth against Padres right-hander Dylan Cease. |
|
| Mar 11 2025 | Arcia has gone 1-for-15 (.067) over nine Grapefruit league appearances this spring. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The shortstop is better known for his glove, but Arcia has slugged 17 homers in each of the last two regular seasons, even if his OPS dropped from .741 in 2023 to .625 last year. The 30-year-old hasn't yet found his timing in camp, but his job wouldn't seem to be in any jeopardy, especially given the limited options behind him in the system. A healthy Nacho Alvarez might have made a push, but the 21-year-old has been dealing with a wrist injury this spring. |
|
| Sep 14 2024 | Arcia went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, three RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia knocked in multiple runs for the first time since Aug. 30. The shortstop has had a quiet September so far, going 6-for-41 (.146), though three of his hits this month have gone for extra bases. He's at a .220/.275/.361 slash line with 16 home runs, 45 RBI, 45 runs scored and two stolen bases across 143 contests this season. |
|
| Aug 30 2024 | Arcia went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk in Friday's win over the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia put Atlanta on the board with a solo shot in the third inning before belting another homer in the sixth. He was stuck in a 10-for-60 (.167) slump over a 17-game span since his last multi-hit performance Aug. 11. Arcia is now slashing .228/.281/.373 with 15 home runs and 41 RBI through 130 games this season. |
|
| Aug 21 2024 | Arcia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Philadelphia. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia snapped a 16-game homer drought when he opened the scoring with a fourth-inning blast off Aaron Nola. That long ball was all Atlanta could put on the scoreboard Wednesday. Arcia is batting just .235 (16-for-68) over 19 contests in August, just modestly better than his .226 average for the year. He's added a .630 OPS, 12 homers, 36 RBI, 35 runs scored, 19 doubles and no stolen bases over 121 contests. |
|
| Aug 11 2024 | Arcia went 4-for-4 in Sunday's 9-8 loss to Colorado. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All four hits were singles. Arcia earned his third multi-hit effort in his last five games, but he doesn't have an extra-base hits or RBI since Aug. 2. The shortstop is at a .234/.278/.366 slash line with 11 home runs, 33 RBI, 32 runs scored, 19 doubles and no stolen bases over 112 contests this season. |
|
| Aug 2 2024 | Arcia went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Friday's win against the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Atlanta shortstop opened the scoring for his team when he slugged a 399-foot solo shot off Valente Bellozo in the fifth inning. Arcia later added another RBI on a single in the eighth to stretch the Atlanta lead to 5-3. The 29-year-old has been hot since the All-Star break, hitting .356 (16-for-45) with four homers, five runs scored and eight RBI across 14 games. He is currently riding a 13-game hit streak. |
|
| Aug 1 2024 | Arcia will start at shortstop and bat fifth in Thursday's game versus the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Atlanta has been forced to juggle its lineup often this season due to injury, but even with that, this is the highest Arcia has batted since May 23. He was batting ninth at the beginning of his current 11-game hit streak, a streak that's seen him sock a couple home runs while posting a .955 OPS. |
|
| Jul 30 2024 | Arcia went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Brewers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The shortstop went yard for the second straight game, driving a Colin Rea two-seamer over the center-field fence in the fifth inning. Arcia is finding a groove at the plate, batting .357 (10-for-28) over a nine-game hitting streak, but the surge has still only boosted his OPS on the season to .612 -- his lowest mark in a full big-league campaign since he stumbled to a .575 mark in 2018. |
|
| Jul 29 2024 | Arcia went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The shortstop extended his hitting streak to eight games with a seventh-inning shot off Ryne Stanek, one of four Atlanta long balls in a 9-2 rout. Arcia may be finding his 2023 form at the plate -- over the last 13 contests, he's slashing .325/.386/.475 with two of his eight homers on the season. |
|
| Jul 12 2024 | Arcia went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-1 win over the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia ended a couple of lengthy droughts, as he had gone 29 games since his last multi-hit effort and homer June 4. During the slump, the shortstop hit just .147 with four doubles and two RBI. He started the season well, but he's now at a .212/.246/.338 slash line with seven homers, 25 RBI, 27 runs scored, 18 doubles and no stolen bases over 88 contests. Arcia hasn't been challenged for his spot in the lineup, but that's mostly a testament to his reliable defense. |
|
| Jul 5 2024 | Arcia (tooth) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Friday's game versus the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia missed three games after having an abscessed tooth extracted, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in the series opener versus a division rival. The 29-year-old sports a disappointing .582 OPS this season for Atlanta. |
|
| Jul 4 2024 | Arcia (tooth) isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Thursday's game versus the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia will miss a third straight game Thursday as he continues to deal with an abscessed tooth. Zack Short will pick up another start at shortstop as a result and bat ninth. |
|
| Jul 3 2024 | Arcia (tooth) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia is dealing with an abscessed tooth and will be held out of the starting lineup for a second straight game. Though it's unclear exactly when he'll be available to start, Arcia had the issue addressed Tuesday, so it's likely he'll be cleared in the coming days. Zack Short will bat ninth and play shortstop. |
|
| Jul 2 2024 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants due to an abscessed tooth, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia dealt with a bout a dizziness last week and is now managing a tooth issue. The abscess is being addressed Tuesday, so the 29-year-old could rejoin the lineup within the next couple days. |
|
| Jun 27 2024 | Arcia (head) will start at shortstop Thursday against the White Sox, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia has been held out of action since being pulled from Monday's game due to dizziness. Now that the issue has subsided, he'll return to his role as Atlanta's shortstop and look to get back on track after going just 1-for-19 with seven strikeouts across his last six contests. |
|
| Jun 26 2024 | Arcia (head) is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old exited Monday's contest due to dizziness and won't start eight game of Wednesday's twin bill. Luke Williams will start at shortstop in place of Arcia for the nightcap. |
|
| Jun 25 2024 | Arcia (head) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia was expected to miss Tuesday's game after being lifted from Monday's contest due to dizziness. Zack Short will fill in at shortstop and Arcia should be considered day-to-day moving forward. |
|
| Jun 24 2024 | Manager Brian Snitker stated that the team will probably give Arcia (head) Tuesday off, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia received fluids after leaving Monday's game due to dizziness and didn't appear to be feeling well in the clubhouse afterward, per Toscano. "Just probably dehydrated, I guess," said Snitker. "I don't know. I know they gave him fluids, so we'll probably put him down tomorrow and let him regroup and see where he's at." Zack Short would be the obvious choice for a start at shortstop Tuesday in Arcia's place. |
|
| Jun 10 2024 | Arcia went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the first time all season the veteran shortstop has drawn multiple free passes in a game. Arcia's rough start to the year has continued into June, and through eight games this month he's batting just .207 (6-for-29), but three of those hits have gone for extra bases -- two doubles and a homer. |
|
| Jun 5 2024 | Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran shortstop took Chase Anderson deep in the seventh inning, giving Atlanta an insurance run in an 8-3 victory. It was only Arcia's third multi-hit performance in his last 24 games, and while he's far from the biggest name to post disappointing numbers so far for the reigning NL East champs, on the season he's slashing .235/.257/.385 with six homers and 21 RBI in 58 contests. |
|
| May 21 2024 | Arcia went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia opened the scoring with his second-inning blast off Chicago starter Javier Assad. This was Arcia's first multi-hit effort since May 8 -- he's gone 9-for-44 (.205) with three homers, three doubles and five RBI over his last 12 contests. The shortstop is slashing .247/.273/.416 with five homers, 17 RBI, 19 runs scored, 13 doubles and no stolen bases over 176 plate appearances in a starting role this season. |
|
| May 11 2024 | Arcia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a 4-1 win against the Mets on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia tagged prized Mets rookie pitcher Christian Scott for a two-run blast in the third inning to give Atlanta an early lead. It was Arcia's second homer over his past three games after we went deep just twice over his first 33 contests of the campaign. The shortstop slugged a career-best 17 long balls last season. |
|
| May 9 2024 | Arcia went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo homer in Wednesday's win over Boston. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old took Nick Pivetta deep in his first at-bat, going back-to-back with Marcell Ozuna as Atlanta jumped out to an early 4-0 lead. Arcia then followed up another Ozuna home run with a double in the third but was left stranded. It marked the shortstop's 11th multi-hit performance of the season, though his previous one came back on April 26. He's also hit safely in four of his last five contests. |
|
| Apr 27 2024 | Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Guardians. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The shortstop crushed a Pedro Avila two-seamer over the fence in left-center field, giving Atlanta its last offense of the night in the eighth inning. Arcia has both his homers on the year in the last nine games, and he's slashing .311/.340/.478 through 97 plate appearances with nine RBI and 12 runs as he proves his 2023 resurgence was no fluke. |
|
| Apr 16 2024 | Arcia went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored during Tuesday's win over the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia's put together seven multi-hit games thus far; however, it took the shortstop 16 games to notch his first long ball of the season. Despite the lack of home-run production, Arcia has still been putting up solid power numbers. He's generated seven doubles and boasts a .544 slugging percentage which, as it stands, would be a career high. |
|
| Apr 13 2024 | Arcia went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: it's the fourth time already this season that Arcia has collected three hits in a game. The shortstop is slashing .383/.431/.532 through 12 games, and while he's still looking for his first homer or steal of 2024, he has banged seven doubles while adding three RBI and seven runs scored. |
|
| Apr 9 2024 | Arcia went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's loss to the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old shortstop has racked up five multi-hit performances in Atlanta's first nine games, while failing to collect a hit at all only twice. Arcia is batting a dazzling .417 (15-for-36) with five doubles in the early going, but his spot at the bottom of the lineup has limited his production otherwise -- those knocks have turned into just two RBI and four runs. |
|
| Apr 3 2024 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia will head to the bench in what appears to be routine maintenance for a day game after a night game. Luis Guillorme will step in at shortstop for Arcia, who has gone 9-for-20 with four doubles and one walk while plating two runs and scoring twice through Atlanta's first five contests of the season. |
|
| Mar 29 2024 | Arcia went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Friday's 9-3 win over the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran shortstop hit the ground running in 2024 as part of a 13-hit attack for Atlanta in its opener. Arcia is coming off a career-best campaign that saw him slash .264/.321/.420 with 17 homers, 65 RBI and 66 runs, and even from the bottom half of the order -- he batted eighth Friday against Zack Wheeler -- he's capable of delivering solid production in a stacked lineup. |
|
| Mar 20 2024 | Arcia (hand) is starting at shortstop and batting eighth for Atlanta in Wednesday's Grapefruit League contest versus the Blue Jays, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia exited Sunday's game after being hit on the left hand by a pitch, but he merely had a contusion and is back in there a few days later. The veteran shortstop has an .836 OPS with three home runs this spring. |
|
| Mar 18 2024 | Arcia is day-to-day after an MRI on Monday confirmed that he did not sustain any fractures to his left hand, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia exited Sunday's Grapefruit League game after being hit on the left hand by a pitch, but X-rays and now an MRI have both come back clean. He reported improvement with the hand Monday and should be ready to play in a day or two. |
|
| Mar 17 2024 | Arcia was hit by a pitch on the left hand during Sunday's Grapefruit League game and had X-rays come back negative, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Atlanta will see how Arcia is feeling Monday before determining next steps, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status. |
|
| Mar 4 2024 | Arcia went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start at shortstop and batting seventh, Arcia took minor leaguer Paxton Thompson deep in the sixth inning. The 29-year-old infielder revived his career last season and set career highs with 17 homers, 65 RBI and 66 runs over 139 games, and with Vaughn Grissom now in Boston and Braden Shewmake a member of the White Sox organization, there's no immediate competition for Arcia left in the Atlanta system. |
|
| Sep 29 2023 | Arcia isn't in Atlanta's lineup Friday against Washington, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Atlanta was able to lock up home-field advantage throughout the postseason Thursday, so the team will give Arcia a day off Friday to keep him fresh for the NLDS. Nicky Lopez will start at shortstop and bat eighth while Arcia sits. |
|
| Sep 24 2023 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia collected five hits in the first two games of the series in Washington to bust out of a 2-for-30 slump, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's matinee. Nicky Lopez will start at shortstop and bat eighth with Arcia likely to rejoin the lineup in the nigthcap. |
|
| Sep 20 2023 | Arcia is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia is hitting .172 with one home run and 17 strikeouts in 18 games this month. Nicky Lopez gets the start at shortstop, batting ninth. |
|
| Sep 5 2023 | Arcia is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia gets a breather after going 4-for-15 with a homer, a double and three RBI in Atlanta's four-game weekend set at Dodger Stadium. Nicky Lopez will cover shortstop and bat ninth in Tuesday's series opener versus the Cardinals and right-hander Miles Mikolas. |
|
| Sep 2 2023 | Arcia went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia has homered three times and added eight RBI over his eight-game hitting streak. He's gone 11-for-30 (.367) in that span. His homer Saturday was a key hit, giving Atlanta the lead in the 10th inning. For the season, the shortstop has a career-high 17 long balls with 55 RBI, 57 runs scored, a stolen base and a .282/.336/.454 slash line in a career year. |
|
| Aug 30 2023 | Arcia went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia extended his modest hitting streak to five games with the blast. In that span, he's gone 7-for-18 (.389) with two homers and five RBI. The shortstop continues to provide steady hitting from deep in the order, slashing .280/.336/.447 with 16 long balls, 52 RBI, 55 runs scored, 17 doubles and one stolen base over 111 contests this year. |
|
| Aug 21 2023 | Arcia went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 4-3 loss against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia got Atlanta on the board with a two-run homer off Jakob Junis in the second inning, his 14th long ball of the year and his fourth through 19 games in August. The 29-year-old Arcia had been stuck in a 1-for-30 slump coming into Sunday's contest, including an 0-for-13 stretch over his previous four games. Overall, he's slashing .278/.332/.442 with 14 homers, 51 runs scored and 47 RBI across 391 plate appearances this season. |
|
| Aug 12 2023 | Arcia will sit for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia is the only Atlanta hitter who will get a rest in the first game of the day. He'll likely return to the lineup for the nightcap, but in the meantime, Nicky Lopez will handle shortstop. |
|
| Aug 9 2023 | Arcia went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He took Ryan Borucki deep for a solo shot in the sixth inning before lacing what proved to be a game-winning, two-run double off Pittsburgh closer David Bednar in the top of the ninth. Arcia has hit safely in seven straight games to begin August, and since the All-Star break he's slashing .329/.398/.603 over 22 contests with five of his 12 homers on the season. The veteran shortstop's career high is 15 home runs, a mark he reached in 2017 and 2019, and Arcia could be poised to blow past that figure in 2023. |
|
| Aug 2 2023 | Arcia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The bottom of the order did most of the damage for Atlanta, as No. 8 hitter Arcia lofted a Jacob Webb fastball over the fence in left-center field in the seventh inning, sandwiched between two solo shots by No. 9 hitter Michael Harris in the fifth and seventh. Arcia has caught fire again since the All-Star break, slashing .302/.362/.566 over the last 16 games with four of his 11 homers on the season. |
|
| Jul 21 2023 | Arcia went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Friday's win over Milwaukee. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia went deep in the second inning for his 10th homer of the year. He's hit three long balls in the last four games after a nine-game drought. The All-Star shortstop is now slashing .291/.345/.448 with 22 extra-base hits and 34 RBI through 75 games. |
|
| Jul 3 2023 | Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The shortstop celebrated his All-Star berth -- he's one of a franchise-record eight Atlanta players named to the Midsummer Classic -- by swatting a Sandy Alcantara pitch over the wall in center field in the second inning. Arcia has slumped at the plate lately, going 4-for-41 (.098) over his last 10 games, but on the season he still sports a .296/.349/.439 slash line with seven homers, 28 RBI and 33 runs through 62 contests. |
|
| Jun 17 2023 | Arcia went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two total runs, two total RBI and a stolen base Saturday in a 10-2 win over the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia was a force from the No. 8 spot in the order for Atlanta, hitting a solo homer in the third inning and a run-scoring single in the fifth. He finished with his sixth three-hit game of the campaign and bumped his season slash line to .339/.398/.494. While Arcia entered the contest without an extra-base hit over his previous eight games, he batter .346 over that stretch and has hit .396 with 12 RBI across 15 contests in June. |
|
| Jun 15 2023 | Arcia went 4-for-8 with two runs scored and four RBI across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader sweep of the Tigers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran shortstop collected two hits and drove in two runs in each half of the twin bill. Arcia has been on a tear in June, getting held hitless only twice in 12 games while reeling off six multi-hit performances for a .378 (17-for-45) batting average with one homer, five runs and 10 RBI. The surge has boosted his slash line on the season to .331/.383/.470 -- putting him on pace to top his previous career best in OPS by 120 points. |
|
| Jun 9 2023 | Arcia went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a 10-inning with over the Mets on Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The shortstop singled home a run in the third inning and came through with a game-tying solo homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth off Mets closer David Robertson. The long ball was Arcia's first since May 17, a span of 19 games. Despite the recent power drought, he's been hitting pretty well, slashing .309/.356/.368 over that stretch. |
|
| May 17 2023 | Arcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The homer was Arcia's second in the last three games, and he's hit safely in five straight contest, going 7-for-17 (.412) with five extra-base hits in that span. The infielder is up to a .342/.405/.592 slash line with four homers, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored and no stolen bases through 84 plate appearances. He's enjoyed steady playing time as the starting shortstop since returning from a wrist injury earlier in the month. |
|
| May 15 2023 | Arcia went 2-for-2 with a home run, a double, two walks, three total runs and two total RBI in Monday's 12-0 win over the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia's perfect game at the plate included a two-run homer and a double that came before Ronald Acuna's two-run shot. Before Monday, Arcia hadn't gone deep since April 6 against San Diego, though he missed nearly a month soon thereafter with a wrist injury. The shortstop is slashing a robust .333/.395/.551 with three homers, 10 RBI and 14 runs through 20 games on the season. |
|
| May 10 2023 | Arcia went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran shortstop has gone a remarkable 4-for-8 with two doubles in two games since returning from a nearly four-week absence due to a wrist injury, despite the fact he didn't go on a rehab assignment to shake off the rust. Arcia's .358/.414/.547 slash line through 58 plate appearances isn't a sustainable pace and is bolstered by a .436 BABIP, but the 28-year-old could take a big step back and still put together a career-best campaign at the plate. |
|
| May 8 2023 | Arcia went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Orioles. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start at shortstop and batting eighth in his return from a wrist injury, Arcia led off the fifth inning with a two-bagger, driving the ball the other way into the right-center gap. The 28-year-old also was his usual excellent self on defense and showed no real rust despite the fact that he didn't go out on a rehab assignment and hadn't seen game action since April 12. Arcia was having a fantastic beginning to the season before getting hurt, and he sports a .327/.389/.510 slash line with two homers, seven RBI and 10 runs in 14 contests. |
|
| May 7 2023 | Atlanta reinstated Arcia (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. He'll start at shortstop and bat eighth in Atlanta's series finale with Baltimore. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since he's been sidelined since April 12 with a microfracture in his left wrist, Arcia was expected to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment prior to returning from the IL, but Atlanta was comfortable enough with how the infielder checked out during workouts the last two days to expedite his activation. Atlanta sent Vaughn Grissom to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding transaction, clearing the way for Arcia to step back in as the team's everyday shortstop. Prior to injuring his wrist, Arcia had slashed .333/.400/.511 with two home runs, 10 runs and seven RBI over 50 plate appearances. |
|
| May 4 2023 | Arcia (wrist) began taking dry swings Thursday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's a significant step forward for Arcia, who had been limited to throwing and running over the last few weeks but is now getting into a fuller range of baseball activities. There is still no exact timetable on his return from a microfracture in his left wrist, an injury he suffered April 12, but the middle of May seems like a reasonable target as things stand with his ongoing rehab. |
|
| Apr 6 2023 | Arcia went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, a walk, two total runs and two total RBI in a 7-6 win against the Padres on Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia produced Atlanta's second run with a solo shot off Blake Snell in the third inning, and he capped the contest with a walkoff single in the ninth. The shortstop has gone deep in two of his past three games, and he's hit safely in six of his seven contests so far this season. Arcia has never hit more than 15 homers in a big-league campaign, though he did post a career-best .172 ISO and 7.5 percent barrel rate last year. His earning of Atlanta's starting shortstop job out of spring training was a bit of a surprise, but Arcia has justified the decision thus far, slashing .370/.414/.667 with two homers, four RBI and seven runs through seven games. |
|
| Apr 5 2023 | Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He took Steven Matz deep in the second inning, giving Arcia his first homer of the season. The veteran shortstop has made Atlanta look good for naming him the starter over prospects Vaughn Grissom and Braden Shewmake, playing impressive defense while batting .316 (6-for-19) with five runs scored through the first five games of the year. |
|
| Mar 30 2023 | Arcia agreed Thursday with Atlanta on a three-year, $7.3 million contract extension with a $2 million club option for 2026, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia was named Atlanta's starting shortstop last week and now has a new deal. He had been under contract for $1.3 million in 2023 with a $2 million club option for 2024, but the extension wipes those years out and adds on potentially two more. Arcia might ultimately just be keeping the shortstop seat warm for Vaughn Grissom or Braden Shewmake, but he has the versatility to bounce around and transition to a utility role. |
|
| Mar 20 2023 | Arcia is in line to open the season as Atlanta's starting shortstop, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Barring an addition at the position via trade in the days leading up to Opening Day, Arcia has won the shortstop gig over Vaughn Grissom and Braden Shewmake, both of whom were optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. Arcia received the appointment atop the depth chart despite mediocre results at the plate in Grapefruit League play (.247/.367/.360 slash line over 30 plate appearances), but he impressed with his glove. Shewmake and Grissom both have a great chance of taking the job from Arcia if the 28-year-old struggles once the season gets underway. |
|
| Mar 17 2023 | One of Vaughn Grissom or Braden Shewmake is expected to open the season as Atlanta's starting shortstop, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports, which would leave Arcia in a bench role. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran infielder began the spring competing with Grissom for the job, but Shewmake's strong defense this spring has pushed him into the mix. Arcia could still see significant playing time this season if whichever youngster begins the season as the starter struggles, but it would likely take injuries or poor performance from both to push him to the top of the depth chart. Arcia slashed .244/.316/.416 in 68 games for Atlanta last season. |
|
| Oct 14 2022 | Arcia is not in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the NLDS versus the Phillies on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia will take a seat after he went 0-for-5 with two walks and a strikeout while starting the first two games of the NLDS. Vaughn Grissom will draw the start at second base and bat eighth against the Phillies on Friday. |
|
| Sep 28 2022 | Arcia will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia appears to have taken over as Atlanta's primary option at the keystone, as he'll stick in the lineup against a right-handed pitcher for the third game in a row while slumping rookie Vaughn Grissom remains on the bench. After slugging home runs in both of the first two games in Washington, Arcia should continue to see steady run while he's wielding a hot bat. |
|
| Sep 1 2022 | Arcia (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old has been sidelined by the hamstring strain since Aug. 9 but has been cleared to rejoin Atlanta after a four-game rehab assignment. Arcia should fill a utility role with Vaughn Grissom now operating as the primary second baseman. |
|
| Aug 27 2022 | Arcia (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia has been on the injured list since Aug. 10, and the club has been targeting a September return. The 28-year-old's rehab assignment should be the final step in his recovery process, but he'll likely need to appear in several minor-league games prior to rejoining the big-league club. If he feels good following his rehab games, he'll likely be in the mix to return from the injured list sometime next week. |
|
| Aug 10 2022 | Arcia (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, said he could return in 3-to-4 weeks, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia suffered the hamstring strain during Tuesday's win over the Red Sox, and it appears he'll be sidelined until at least the start of September. Atlanta is already without Ozzie Albies (foot), so prospect Vaughn Grissom was called up and should receive significantly playing time at second base. |
|
| Aug 9 2022 | Arcia will be placed on the injured list after suffering a left hamstring strain during Tuesday's win over the Red Sox, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia gave Atlanta the lead with an RBI double during the 10th inning, but he injured his hamstring while coming into second base. He came off the bag and was tagged out before being helped off the field. The 28-year-old has been operating as the primary second baseman with Ozzie Albies (foot) already sidelined, and Ehire Adrianza is now likely to step into a starting role. |
|
| Aug 7 2022 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia was held out of the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader and will be on the bench again for Sunday Ehire Adrianza will work at the keystone during the series finale in New York. |
|
| Aug 4 2022 | Arcia went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old utility player gave Atlanta a 1-0 lead by taking Zack Wheeler deep in the fifth inning, but it was all the offense the home team could muster on the afternoon. Arcia has started five straight games at second base and homered in the last two, giving him seven long balls on the year in 178 plate appearances to go with a .247/.320/.411 slash line, and he'll continue to hold down the fort at the keystone until Ozzie Albies (foot) makes his return. |
|
| Aug 3 2022 | Arcia went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 13-1 win over the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia's sixth home run of the season came in the fifth inning, when he took reliever Corey Knebel deep with two outs and a runner on base. With Atlanta cutting bait on the Robinson Cano experiment and not adding further reinforcement in the middle infield other than utility man Ehire Adrianza ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, Arcia looks poised to serve as the team's everyday second baseman until Ozzie Albies (foot) is ready to return from the injured list later in the season. Arcia will pick up his fifth consecutive start in Wednesday's series finale and will bat eighth. |
|
| Jul 31 2022 | Arcia is starting at second base and batting eighth Sunday versus Arizona. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the third consecutive start for Arcia, and the second straight to come against a right-handed pitcher with Merrill Kelly on the mound Sunday for Arizona. Robinson Cano has the platoon advantage but has a .377 OPS through nine games with Atlanta, so it appears Arcia is back as the primary option at the keystone. |
|
| Jul 27 2022 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia recently completed a three-game starting streak while Atlanta faced off against a trio of lefty pitchers, but he'll be on the bench for the second straight game while Philadelphia bring another righty (Kyle Gibson) to the bump. The 27-year-old looks as though he'll occupy the short side of a platoon at second base with the lefty-hitting Robinson Cano for the foreseeable future. |
|
| Jul 23 2022 | Arcia went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 8-1 win over the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Robinson Cano got the start at second base but was lifted early due to dizziness, so Arcia wound up seeing a full night's worth of playing time. The 27-year-old utility player took advantage in the seventh inning by crushing a first-pitch slider from a fading Shohei Ohtani to left field for his fifth homer of the year, breaking open what was a 3-0 game. He hasn't seen much action since Cano was added to the roster, but if the latter winds up missing more time, Arcia would take over as the starter at the keystone in the short term. |
|
| Jul 16 2022 | Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-4 win over the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Patrick Corbin on the mound for the Nats, Arcia got the start at second base while hitting eighth and took advantage of the matchup. The 27-year-old infielder is slashing .256/.329/.388 with four homers, 13 runs and 18 RBI in 146 plate appearances, and for now he'll handle the short side of a platoon alongside Robinson Cano until Ozzie Albies (foot) is ready to return. |
|
| Jul 11 2022 | Arcia is not in the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia will head to the bench Monday as Robinson Cano will make his debut with the team and take over the starting spot a second base. The 27-year-old is expected to shift into more of a platoon role after the addition of Cano, making his absence from the lineup Monday something that could be common moving forward. |
|
| Jul 5 2022 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Phil Gosselin will pick up a second straight start at second base in place of Arcia, whose ongoing slump may have prompted manager Brian Snitker to go in a different direction. Before sitting out Monday's 6-3 win, Arcia had gone 2-for-28 with 10 strikeouts over his last eight contests. |
|
| Jul 4 2022 | Arcia isn't starting Monday against the Cardinals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia started in the last four games and went 1-for-13 with three RBI, two walks and six strikeouts. Phil Gosselin will take his place at the keystone and bat eighth Monday. |
|
| Jun 29 2022 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Phil Gosselin will check in at the keystone for Arcia, who has taken over as a full-time starter at the position since Ozzie Albies fractured his foot June 13. Arcia had started in each of Atlanta's last eight games, going 5-for-30 with two runs and an RBI during that stretch. |
|
| Jun 19 2022 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia will head to the bench after starting each of the past four games at the keystone while going 7-for-16 with two home runs, a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs. Phil Gosselin will get the nod at second base in his 2022 debut with Atlanta, but Arcia looks poised to handle a full-time role at the position while Ozzie Albies (foot) is likely sidelined for at least two months. |
|
| Jun 16 2022 | Arcia went 4-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his second straight start at the keystone in place of Ozzie Albies (foot), Arcia homered as part of a multi-hit performance for the second straight day, giving him three long balls on the season in 19 contests. The infielder won't keep up that pace, but the last time he held down a regular role in the majors in 2020, the 27-year-old slashed .260/.317/.416 over 59 games for the Brewers with five home runs and 20 RBI. |
|
| Jun 14 2022 | Arcia is expected to step in as Atlanta's primary second baseman after Ozzie Albies (foot) was placed on the 60-day injured list Tuesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In a corresponding move, Atlanta selected the contract of Phil Gosselin from Triple-A Gwinnett to replace Albies on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, but Gosselin is expected to step into the utility role that Arcia has handled for much of the season. In order to hold off Gosselin and other potential call-ups or trade acquisitions from playing time at the keystone, however, Arcia may need to demonstrate more dependability at the plate than he showed in 2021, when he produced a career-worst .567 OPS in 89 plate appearances between stops with Milwaukee and Atlanta. He's performed far better in sporadic playing time this season, slashing .313/.393/.458 in 56 plate appearances. Arcia is likely to occupy a spot near the bottom of the batting order while he fills in for Albies. |
|
| May 26 2022 | Arcia was added to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For a second straight game, Arcia is a late addition to Atlanta's lineup. He'll start in left field and bat eighth after Marcell Ozuna (abdomen) was removed from Thursday's lineup. Arcia went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a run, an RBI and a walk in Wednesday's win over Philadelphia. |
|
| May 25 2022 | Arcia was added to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia hasn't appeared in any of the last seven games, but he'll serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth Wednesday after Ronald Acuna (quadriceps) was scratched. Over four games since the start of May, Arcia has gone 5-for-12 with a homer, two runs, two RBI and five strikeouts. |
|
| May 12 2022 | Arcia went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia started rallies in the third and seventh with singles, but he only came around to score once. However, in the bottom of the ninth with the score tied 3-3 and Ozzie Albies on first base, Arcia ripped two-run homer to left field for his first long ball of the season. The backup middle infielder has appeared in just two games since April 24, but he's 4-for-5 during those contests. |
|
| Apr 26 2022 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he'll sit for the second time in three days, Arcia has started in five of Atlanta's last seven contests and should have a fairly clear path to a near-everyday role in the short term with Eddie Rosario (eye) on the 10-day injured list. However, Ronald Acuna (knee) could be ready to come off the IL as soon as Friday, and his return would leave Arcia to battle with Alex Dickerson, Guillermo Heredia and Travis Demeritte for playing time at the one available starting spot in the outfield or at designated hitter. |
|
| Apr 24 2022 | Arcia will start in left field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Marlins, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With a southpaw on the mound for Miami in Jesus Luzardo, the righty-hitting Arcia will stay in the lineup over the lefty-hitting Alex Dickerson, but Arcia may have usurped Dickerson as Atlanta's preferred option against right-handers, too. Arcia, who is picking up his fifth start in six games Sunday, enters the series finale with a .292/.379/.375 slash line across 29 plate appearances. Meanwhile, Dickerson has turned in a measly .379 OPS through 28 trips to the plate this season. |
|
| Apr 19 2022 | Arcia went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia singled in the second inning and doubled in the fourth and seventh, plating a run during the former. The 27-year-old is slashing a torrid .368/.409/.474, though the production has come in a 19 at-bat sample as the weak side of a platoon. |
|
| Apr 13 2022 | Arcia went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a run in Tuesday's 16-4 win over the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia has been part of a platoon at designated hitter with Alex Dickerson to begin the season, but he's unlikely to see his role expand much moving forward. As the right-handed hitter of the platoon, Arcia will find himself out of the lineup more often than not, and both Dickerson and Arcia will see their opportunities trend down once Ronald Acuna (knee) is deemed ready to make his season debut. |
|
| Apr 6 2022 | Arcia batted .250 (8-for-32) over 14 games this spring and appears set as Atlanta's primary backup around the infield. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The defending champs have a set infield with Matt Olson, Ozzie Albies, Dansby Swanson and Austin Riley, but Arcia could see action a couple times a week giving any of the latter three a breather. The 27-year-old actually spent more of his time with the team last year in left field, but with Eddie Rosario and Alex Dickerson on the roster, Arcia likely won't be needed there too often. The former Brewer managed only a .567 OPS last season, but Atlanta is hoping he can supply something closer to the .733 mark he produced over 189 plate appearances in 2020. |
|
| Nov 30 2021 | Arcia agreed to a two-year, $3 million deal with Atlanta on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move means Arcia won't have to go through arbitration either this year or the next. It's something of a surprise to see that Atlanta felt it necessary to lock him up through the end of the 2023 season, as he hit .198/.258/.309 in just 89 plate appearances in 2021, but he's evidently viewed as part of the future. |
|
| Sep 22 2021 | Atlanta recalled Arcia from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Atlanta had been getting by with Ehire Adrianza as its lone utility player since Arcia was optioned to Triple-A over the weekend, but the latter's return to the active roster will give manager Brian Snitker another option off the bench. Unless Atlanta loses one of Austin Riley or Dansby Swanson over the final week and a half of the season, however, Arcia is unlikely to pick up regular starts while the team looks to secure the National League East crown. |
|
| Sep 19 2021 | Atlanta optioned Arcia to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia started only one game and went 1-for-11 overall in his latest stint with the big-league roster. He could return to Atlanta at some point before the regular season ends, but he's highly unlikely to get more than a couple starts. |
|
| Sep 1 2021 | Atlanta recalled Arcia from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia will join Atlanta as a September call-up and will give the team some extra coverage in the middle infield while everyday second baseman Ozzie Albies (knee) likely misses at least the team's next two games. Ehire Adrianza and Arcia are expected to serve as the primary replacements at the keystone for however long Albies is sidelined. |
|
| Jul 31 2021 | Atlanta optioned Arcia to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The shortstop-turned-outfielder has hit an unremarkable .204 with two home runs and seven RBI in 17 games with Atlanta. Arcia is no longer needed for outfield depth now that newly acquired sluggers Jorge Soler and Adam Duvall are with the team and active. It remains to be seen whether Arcia will get any more opportunities with the big-league club this season. |
|
| Jul 25 2021 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll sit for the third straight game in favor of Abraham Almonte, who seems to have moved ahead of Arcia on the depth chart in left field. Since getting a call-up to Atlanta in early July, Arcia has slashed .227/.292/.386 with two home runs and one stolen base. |
|
| Jul 24 2021 | Arcia is not starting Saturday's game against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The shortstop-turned-outfielder is omitted from the lineup for a second straight day after going 2-for-19 in his first five games out of the break. Abraham Almonte will start in left field and bat seventh Saturday. |
|
| Jul 23 2021 | Arcia will not start Friday's game against Philadelphia. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia has emerged as Atlanta's primary left fielder, though he's hardly hitting like a corner bat, slashing .233/.283/.395 in 12 games for his new team. Abraham Almonte starts in left field in his absence. |
|
| Jul 22 2021 | Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia led off the fourth inning with a home run, his second of the season. He entered the game on a moderate cold stretch, failing to collect any hits in each of his last three starts. Through 12 contests since being recalled by Atlanta on July 4, Arcia is hitting .232 with two home runs, eight RBI and five runs scored. |
|
| Jul 20 2021 | Arcia will sit Tuesday against the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia was scheduled to sit Monday, but that game got rained out. He'll get the day off Tuesday instead, with Abraham Almonte again scheduled to start in left field. |
|
| Jul 19 2021 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia hits the bench after starting nine of 10 games. The glove-first shortstop unsurprisingly hasn't shown what it takes at the plate to be a regular left fielder, hitting just .250/.308/.361 thus far since his early-July call-up, so it's possible Atlanta pursues another outfield acquisition at the deadline. For now, Abraham Almonte will start in his place. |
|
| Jul 9 2021 | Arcia is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia went 5-for-15 with a homer and four RBI while starting all four games in left field since being recalled July 4. He'll get a rest Friday as Abraham Almonte starts in left field and bats fifth. |
|
| Jul 6 2021 | Arcia went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old supplied Atlanta's lone run of the contest with his solo shot during the first inning, and his third-inning single was one of only three other hits from the offense. Arcia is 4-for-11 with a homer, an additional RBI and an additional run in three games since joining the big-league roster over the weekend. |
|
| Jul 4 2021 | The Braves recalled Arcia from Triple-A Gwinnett following Saturday's game against the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old went 1-for-11 in four games with the Brewers before being dealt to Atlanta on April 6. He has excelled at Triple-A this season, hitting .303 with 13 homers and 28 RBI in 201 at-bats. Arcia has played 533 of his 542 career games on the left side of the infield, but Atlanta hopes to give him opportunities in left field, which has been an offensive void since Marcell Ozuna (finger) left the team. Arcia played left field in his last week with Triple-A Gwinnett, per David O'Brien of The Athletic. |

| Apr 6 2021 | The Braves optioned Arcia to their alternate site after acquiring him from Milwaukee on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Atlanta sent back a pair of right-handed relievers in Patrick Weigel and Chad Sobotka in exchange for Arcia, who shouldn't be in store for a lengthy stint at the alternate site. Once the team has a chance to evaluate him more closely in simulated games, Arcia could join the big club and serve as a utility infielder. |
|
| Mar 23 2021 | Arcia will split time at third base with Travis Shaw and at shortstop with Luis Urias this season, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The exact hierarchy among the trio remains unclear, but it looks as though all three could split time fairly equally. Shaw is the lone lefty in the group, so it's likely Arcia and Urias will both start against southpaws while alternating days off against right-handers. |
|
| Feb 24 2021 | Arcia will work at third base "a substantial amount" during spring training, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia is most likely to see playing time at shortstop this season, but Luis Arcia should also get increased reps at the position during spring training. As a result, manager Craig Counsell said that the team will move Orlando around during camp, and he could see plenty of time at the hot corner. The 26-year-old slashed .260/.317/.416 with five home runs and 20 RBI over 59 games in 2020. |
|
| Dec 2 2020 | Arcia agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the Brewers on Wednesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This will be the 26-year-old shortstop's sixth season with the Brewers and penultimate year under team control. He hit .260/.317/.416 with five home runs and two steals in 189 plate appearances last season. His 96 wRC+, .156 ISO and 16.9 percent strikeout rate were all career bests. Despite all that, he had to take a $200,000 pay cut on this contract to avoid being non-tendered. |
|
| Oct 1 2020 | Arcia went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's Game 1 loss to the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia provided the Brewers' only runs of the opening game of the best-of-three NL Wild Card Series. He should start at shortstop again in Game 2 against lefty Clayton Kershaw. |
|
| Sep 26 2020 | Arcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during a 9-1 loss to the Cardinals in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 0-for-3 with an RBI in the matinee, Arcia ruined Daniel Ponce de Leon's no-hit bid with his sixth-inning blast in the nightcap. The shortstop is slashing .241/.298/.386 with five homers, two steals, 20 RBI and 20 runs over 57 games. |
|
| Sep 18 2020 | Arcia went 2-for-3 with a homer, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 9-5 win over the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia drew a bases-loaded walk in the fourth inning to force in the Brewers' second run of the contest. He also scored the go-ahead run on Jacob Nottingham's grand slam two at-bats later. Arcia went deep himself for a three-run blast in the fifth. The shortstop has four homers, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases while slashing .250/.318/.386 in 49 games this year. |
|
| Sep 14 2020 | Arcia isn't starting Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia is set for a rare day off, playing in 44 of Milwaukee's 45 games so far this season. Luis Urias gets the nod at shortstop and will bat seventh. |
|
| Sep 10 2020 | Arcia went 4-for-6 with a double and three runs in Wednesday's victory over the Tigers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia joined the Brewers' hit parade Wednesday, accounting for four of the 21 hits the club banged out. 10 of the 29 hits Arcia has recorded this season came in three games, but that doesn't change the fact he hitting .257 and owns a .328 OBP -- a mark that tops the number he finished with in each of his four other seasons in the big leagues. |
|
| Sep 5 2020 | Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against Cleveland. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia took Nick Wittgren deep in the eighth inning to tie the game at three. It was his third home run of the season, though he has just three additional extra-base hits in 111 plate appearances. Despite his relative lack of production at the plate, Arcia has continued to get the majority of starts at shortstop for the Brewers. |
|
| Aug 31 2020 | Arcia isn't in the lineup Monday against the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia went hitless in four at-bats Sunday, and he'll retreat to the bench for the series finale against Pittsburgh. Luis Urias will shift to shortstop with Keston Hiura starting at second base. |
|
| Aug 30 2020 | Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run Saturday in the Brewers' 7-6 win over the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia took Pirates reliever Chris Stratton deep in the seventh inning for his second home run of the season and his first since Aug. 16. Though Luis Urias' return from the COVID-19 injured list earlier this month looked like it might have threatened Arcia's standing as the everyday shortstop, manager Craig Counsell has been able to find room for both players in the regular lineup. Urias has instead seen most of his action at second base and third base. |
|
| Aug 18 2020 | Arcia isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Twins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia had a monster game Sunday against the Cubs as he was a double away from hitting for the cycle, but he'll get a breather for the series opener against Minnesota. Luis Urias will start at shortstop. |
|
| Aug 16 2020 | Arcia went 3-for-4 with a home run, triple, two RBI and three runs scored Sunday against the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia played a big role in the team's win against the Cubs, with his biggest contribution coming on a two-run home run in the fifth inning. It was his first home run of the year and he now has only four extra-base hits on the season. While still getting regular playing time, the return of Luis Urias has left Arcia out of the starting lineup twice in the team's past six contests. |
|
| Aug 14 2020 | Arcia is out of the lineup Friday against the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old went 1-for-2 with a walk during Thursday's loss but will return to the bench for Friday's contest. Arcia has started 13 of 18 games at shortstop this season, but the return of Luis Urias from the injured list earlier this week may lead to more of a rotation at shortstop. |
|
| Aug 12 2020 | Arcia isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Twins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia recorded hits in each of the past two games, but he'll take a seat for the series finale against Minnesota. Eric Sogard will shift to shortstop as Brock Holt steps in at third base. |
|
| Aug 9 2020 | Arcia is out of the lineup Sunday versus Cincinnati, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia started the past four games but will take a seat after going 2-for-12 with two strikeouts and two walks. Eric Sogard will shift to shortstop Sunday, while Brock Holt starts at third base. |
|
| Aug 4 2020 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia sits for just the second time this season. Eric Sogard slides over to shortstop, opening up third base for Brock Holt. |
|
| Jul 29 2020 | Arcia is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia will take a seat for the first time all season as Eric Sogard gets the start at shortstop in his stead Wednesday. The 25-year-old is 5-for-14 with a double and three RBI through five games this season. |
|
| Mar 9 2020 | Arcia hit his fifth home run of the spring in Sunday's split squad game against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia homered in his second exhibition game appearance and has not slowed down, adding four more long balls to his tally. Despite the spring power surge, it is still tough to expect much from him offensively given his struggles at the plate for the larger part of his career, and, in particular, the .199 batting average he posted after the All-Star break last season. Still, Arcia knows he will be pushed for playing time this season by both Luis Urias (wrist) and Brock Holt, and he is responding thus far. |
|
| Feb 28 2020 | Arcia went 2-for-2 and hit a three-run home run in Thursday's spring game against the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia is off to a fast start this spring, going 4-for-10 with two home runs and seven RBI over four games -- a good sign for a player who had the worst wRC+ among qualified hitters a season ago. The Brewers brought in Luis Urias to either compete with or supplant Arcia, but Urias is working his way back from wrist surgery, so Arcia will get ample opportunities to hone his hitting skills during the exhibition season. |
|
| Dec 2 2019 | Arcia signed a one-year, $2.2 million contract with the Brewers on Monday, avoiding arbitration, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia may have to compete for a starting role at shortstop after the Brewers traded for Luis Urias, though it appears he'll see every opportunity to win the job. He struggled to a .223/.283/.350 slash line with 15 homers and 59 RBI over 152 games in 2019. |
|
| Sep 29 2019 | Arcia went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia is concluding the regular season with a flourish, driving in seven runs over the Brewers' past three games. He'll draw the start at shortstop and bat seventh in the regular-season finale and should play the full game while Milwaukee looks to push for a tie with the Cardinals for first place in the National League Central. |
|
| Sep 25 2019 | Arcia is not starting Wednesday against the Reds. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia has started the past six games and gone 6-for-22 (.273) with a double and a home run over that stretch. He'll give way to Cory Spangenberg at shortstop Wednesday as the Brewers look to clinch a spot in the playoffs. |
|
| Sep 23 2019 | Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's victory over the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The home run was Arcia's first since Aug. 18, and the RBI was only his fourth in September. Despite the offensive struggles, Arcia's defense is still earning him regular playing time at shortstop; he has started all but two games at the position since returning from paternity leave Sept. 12. |
|
| Sep 17 2019 | Arcia isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia doubled home a run Monday night in the series opener, but with Cory Spangenberg swinging a hot bat, he'll catch a breather. Spangenberg draws the start at shortstop and is set to hit ninth. |
|
| Sep 15 2019 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at St. Louis. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia made his return from the paternity list Thursday and started the last three games, but he'll head to the bench for the series finale after going 1-for-10 with a walk. Hernan Perez will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday in his place. |
|
| Sep 12 2019 | Arcia was reinstated from the paternity list prior to Thursday's game against the Marlins. He is starting at shortstop and batting eighth. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As expected, he is back in the fold after missing three games following the birth of his twin daughters. Arcia should get the bulk of the starts at shortstop down the stretch, but he will likely sit occasionally in favor of Hernan Perez. |
|
| Sep 10 2019 | Arcia (personal) will rejoin the Brewers on Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Previous reports held that Arcia would return from the paternity list Wednesday. He'll apparently be flying to meet up with the team that day but won't be back in the lineup until the following day. Hernan Perez has been starting at shortstop in his absence. |
|
| Sep 9 2019 | Arcia (personal) is expected to rejoin the Brewers on Wednesday, Sophia Minnaert of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arcia landed on the paternity list following Sunday's win over the Cubs, but he's expected to rejoin the Brewers after spending a couple of days with his fiancee and their two newborn daughters. Hernan Perez is starting at shortstop in his place Monday. |
|
| Sep 8 2019 | Arcia is going on the paternity list after Sunday's game agains the Cubs, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He must miss Monday's game in Miami and can miss no more than three total games. Arcia started Sunday's game but left midway through to be with his fiancee, who gave birth to twin daughters. Hernan Perez and Cory Spangenberg are options to start at shortstop in his absence. |

|
| Jul 25 2018 | Arcia went 3-for-6 with a double and an RBI in a game with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday. | The Brewers sent Arcia to Triple-A to find his swing, and he has done just that, hitting .346/.424/.494 through 21 games with Colorado Springs. It's not clear how much longer the Brewers will keep him in the minors, but the big club has missed his defense at shortstop in his absence, so it might not be long. |
|
| Jul 18 2018 | Arcia went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored during Tuesday's Triple-A outing against Round Rock. | Arcia has hit .316/.458/.526 with two home runs and six RBI over 11 games since being optioned to Colorado Springs in early July. The shortstop was sent down in order to work on his swing, as he was hitting just .197 with a .482 OPS over 66 games with the Brewers at the time of his demotion. Though Arcia is starting to show signs of progress at the Triple-A level, Tyler Saladino has seemingly captured the role of everyday shortstop for Milwaukee, picking up multiple hits in four of the past five games heading into the All-Star break. |
|
| Jun 30 2018 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds. | Arcia went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts during Friday's game and is 3-for-23 over his past nine games. Brad Miller will lead off and start at shortstop while Arcia's season-long struggles at the plate continue. |
|
| Jun 26 2018 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals. | Arcia has only started every other game since last Tuesday, and that pattern will hold true for now, as he will come off the bench after being part of the lineup in the Brewers' last game Sunday. Brad Miller will man the shortstop position for the Brewers on Tuesday. |
|
| Jun 23 2018 | Arcia is out of the starting nine for Saturday's game against St. Louis. | With Brad Miller recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs, Arcia could be in line for a diminished role, especially if he continues to struggle at the dish. Through 60 games this year, he's hitting just .201/.234/.259 with two home runs and 15 RBI. |
|
| Jun 21 2018 | Arcia is out of the lineup against St. Louis on Thursday. | Arcia will take a seat after going 1-for-4 during Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh. In his place, Eric Sogard will start at shortstop. |
|
| Jun 17 2018 | Arcia is out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies. | Arcia has started every game at shortstop for the Brewers since last Sunday, going 3-for-18 with six strikeouts and zero extra-base hits over that span. He'll always provide the team with exceptional defense, but manager Craig Counsell will instead look to give his lineup an offensive spark by awarding Hernan Perez his first start of the season at shortstop. A late-game defensive replacement or pinch-hit appearance for Arcia likely isn't out of the question, however. |
|
| Jun 10 2018 | Arcia is not in the lineup Sunday against the Phillies. | Arcia will sit for the second time since being recalled from the minors on May 30. The young shortstop has hit .292 since his promotion but will give way to Eric Sogard in the series finale. |
|
| Jun 6 2018 | Arcia is not in the lineup versus the Indians on Wednesday. | Eric Sogard will draw a start at shortstop for the series finale while Arcia gets a day off following four straight games in the starting nine. Since being recalled from Triple-A last week, Arcia has gone 4-for-14 with one RBI. |
|
| Jun 3 2018 | Arcia will start at shortstop and bat ninth Sunday against the White Sox. | Though he's hitting just .197 on the season and returned from a four-game stint at Triple-A Colorado Springs just a few days earlier, Arcia looks like he'll handle an everyday role so long as he sticks around with the big club. The 23-year-old will pick up his third straight start Sunday, leaving the likes of Eric Sogard and Hernan Perez to settle for utility duties. |
|
| May 30 2018 | Arcia is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Cardinals. | He was recalled from Triple-A ahead of this game less than a week after being optioned down last weekend. Tyler Saladino (ankle) landed on the disabled list, but it's not clear that the Brewers are ready to return Arcia to an everyday role, given that he is out of the lineup in his first game back. Eric Sogard is starting at shortstop and hitting seventh. |
|
| May 30 2018 | Arcia was brought up from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Wednesday. | Arcia figures to once again resume his role as the starter at shortstop with Tyler Saladino (ankle) forced to hit the shelf. The 23-year-old was sent down to the minors Friday after hitting just .194 with two home runs and 13 RBI through 44 games. |
|
| May 25 2018 | Arcia was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Friday. | Arcia has been the Brewers' starting shortstop since the start of the 2017 season, but will head to Triple-A after slashing .194/.233/.273 in 44 games this season. The demotion is fairly surprising for Milwaukee's former top prospect even given his struggles at the plate, but the team evidently feels a trip to the minors is necessary to help the 23-year-old calibrate his swing. The team recalled Eric Sogard to bolster their infield depth, with Tyler Saladino and Hernan Perez also likely to help fill the void at shortstop. |
|
| May 23 2018 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against Arizona. | Arcia will get the day off as he's struggling to do much of anything at the dish. He's in the midst of a 1-for-17 stretch with six strikeouts and will look to regroup before likely returning to the starting lineup Thursday. Tyler Saladino gets the nod in his place and will bat seventh. |
|
| May 16 2018 | Arcia is out of the lineup versus the Diamondbacks on Wednesday | Tyler Saladino will draw a start at shortstop for the series finale as Arica retreats to the bench following an 0-for-3 showing during Tuesday's game. Through 38 games this year, Arcia is hitting just .213/.256/.295 with two home runs and 13 RBI. |
|
| May 13 2018 | Arcia is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rockies. | After hitting a respectable .277 during his first full season in the majors in 2017, Arcia is currently slashing an abysmal .217/.262/.296 through his first 35 games this year. He continues to display plus defensive at the shortstop position, but the Brewers are surely frustrated by his overall lack of production at the plate. He'll get the day off with Tyler Saladino taking over at short. |
|
| May 12 2018 | Arcia went 2-for-3 with two RBI, a run, a stolen base and two walks in Friday's victory over the Rockies. | Arcia got on base just three times in the six games prior to Friday's, but he was able to better that number in just one night, reaching first base four times for the first time this season. Arcia owns just a .577 OPS for the season, but he has been far better so far in May, hitting .333/.400/.370 in 30 appearances over nine games. |
|
| May 5 2018 | Arcia is not in the lineup Saturday against the Pirates. | Arcia is hitting just .229/.260/.323 through his first 100 plate appearances. There doesn't appear to be an immediate threat to his job, though, as his replacement Eric Sogard is hitting just .107/.167/.161. |
|
| May 2 2018 | Arcia went 3-for-4 and scored a run in Tuesday's victory over the Reds. | It's been a tough year at the plate for Arcia -- as evidence, his three hits Tuesday matched his total from the previous 11 days -- but Tuesday's effort at least helped get his batting average back over the Mendoza Line. The Brewers and fantasy owners are no doubt hoping it helps get him going moving forward as well. |
|
| Apr 27 2018 | Arcia is not in the starting nine against the Cubs on Friday. | Arcia will occupy a spot on the bench after going 1-for-3 with a double during Thursday's series-opening loss. The 23-year-old will be replaced by Eric Sogard, who is playing shortstop and batting seventh in the order. Expect to see Arcia back in the lineup Saturday. |
|
| Apr 25 2018 | Arcia (ankle, illness) is hitting ninth and playing shortstop Wednesday against the Royals. | The young shortstop missed the past three games after injuring his ankle during the series with the Marlins and then dealing with a small stomach ailment, but it seems like all that has subsided with the extra time off. He'll resume his normal role in the lineup, pushing Eric Sogard back to the bench for the foreseeable future. |
|
| Apr 24 2018 | Arcia (ankle) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Maria Torres of The Kansas City Star reports. | Arcia left Friday's game against the Marlins with a right ankle injury, and while his X-rays were negative, he's yet to return to the lineup. It was reported over the weekend that he could end up on the disabled list if he's unable to play against the Royals, but Arcia seems adamant that he will be fine. Eric Sogard continues to start at shortstop in his absence. |
|
| Apr 24 2018 | Arcia (ankle) is out of Tuesday's lineup due to a stomach illness, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | It was reported that Arcia's ankle has returned to full health and that he would have been in Tuesday's starting lineup had it not been for his illness. The team didn't indicate the severity of Arcia's sickness, so consider him day-to-day until further notice. With Arcia out, Eric Sogard is starting at shortstop Tuesday night. |
|
| Apr 22 2018 | Arcia (ankle) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Marlins. | Arcia will now miss his second straight game after tweaking his ankle Friday against the Marlins. The Brewers haven't ruled out a trip to the disabled list for their shortstop, but with a scheduled off day Monday, the hope is that Arcia will be able to return to the lineup Tuesday in Kansas City. Eric Sogard will again draw the start at shortstop Sunday. |
|
| Apr 22 2018 | Arcia (ankle) expects to be at 100 percent health in time for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Arcia was able to run the bases and participate in fielding drills Sunday with minimal pain, so he expects to be fully ready come Tuesday. Eric Sogard is starting at shortstop Sunday in his absence. |

| Apr 21 2018 | Arcia (ankle) will be reassessed before the team travels to Kansas City on Tuesday to determine whether or not he'll need to head to the disabled list, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Arcia sprained his ankle while returning to first base after a single Friday and was out of the lineup the next day. If he needs to miss more than a few games, he'll likely head to the DL, with Eric Sogard continuing to fill in at shortstop. |
|
| Apr 21 2018 | Arcia (ankle) is not in the lineup Saturday against the Marlins. | Arcia left Friday's game with a right ankle injury, and while X-rays were negative, he'll miss at least one game. Eric Sogard will get the start at shortstop in his place. |
|
| Apr 20 2018 | The X-rays on Arcia's right ankle injury came back negative Friday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Arcia appeared to roll his right ankle returning to first base after an eighth inning single and was helped off the field. The severity of the injury remains unclear at this point, but the young shortstop at least seems unlikely to play Saturday. Eric Sogard, Hernan Perez and Johnathan Villar could all potentially step in at shortstop for Milwaukee if Arcia is held out of the lineup. |
|
| Apr 20 2018 | Arcia exited Friday's game against the Marlins with a right ankle injury, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Arcia rounded first base in the 8th inning after a single and sustained the injury returning to the base as the Marlins attempted to catch him off the bag. The severity of the injury is unclear at this point, but the 23-year-old was helped off the field while putting no weight on his right leg. |
|
| Apr 17 2018 | Arcia went 2-for-4 and scored a run in Monday's loss to the Reds. | Arcia is still trying to get his batting average back above The Mendoza Line, but Monday's effort helped him get closer to that mark than he has been at any point this month. Arcia is showing signs of turning things around at the plate, going 6-for-22 (.(.273) with a home run and four RBI over his last seven games after hitting just .133 with no extra-base hits nor RBI through his first nine contests. Despite the struggles with the bat Arcia has started 12 of the Brewers' 16 games in 2018, and that rate figures to continue given his defense and promise. |
|
| Apr 14 2018 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets. | Arcia is off to a slow start with the bat this season, hitting .159/.213/.182 through his first 13 games. Some of his struggles are BABIP-related, as his BABIP is just .200. He's also seen a spike in soft contact, though, up to 34.3 percent after posting a 22.9 percent rate last year. It's still a small sample, however, so expect him to have plenty of time to turn things around before his job is under any real threat. Eric Sogard will start at shortstop in his place Saturday. |
|
| Apr 10 2018 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals. | Despite reaching base twice and knocking in two runs during Monday's win over the Cardinals, Arcia will head to the bench with a difficult righty in Carlos Martinez toeing the rubber for the opposition. Arcia is just 1-for-11 (.091) in his career against Martinez, so Eric Sogard will start at shortstop and hit leadoff. |
|
| Apr 4 2018 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale against St. Louis. | Arcia will retreat to the bench in favor of Eric Sogard after starting the past two games at shortstop. Expect to see Arcia back in the lineup for Thursday's series opener against the Cubs. |
|
| Mar 31 2018 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres. | Arcia will head to the bench for Saturday's series finale after starting the team's first two games of the season, going 2-for-9 (.222) with one RBI. In his place, Eric Sogard will start at shortstop and hit sixth. |
|
| Mar 21 2018 | Arcia went 12-for-28 (.429) with an RBI over his last 10 spring games, according to Brewers Sr. Director - Media Relations Mike Vassallo. | Arcia struggled at the plate to open the spring, but he has turned things around, and now owns a .310 batting average and .738 OPS for the 2018 exhibition season. He will likely hit in the lower third of the Brewers' batting order when the regular season rolls around, but should be in the lineup nearly every day. |
|
| Mar 5 2018 | Arcia is 2-for-17 (.118) with a run scored through six spring training games. | Fantasy players would have preferred Arcia get off to a quicker start with the bat this spring, but with just two strikeouts thus far, there is certainly no reason to panic. Regardless of how he fares the rest of the spring, Arcia will head into the regular season as the Brewers' starting shortstop as long as he stays healthy. |
|
| Oct 1 2017 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. | Arcia will get the day off during the Brewers' final game of the year. He'll wrap up his first full big-league season with a .277/.324/.407 slash line with 15 homers and 14 stolen bases in 153 games played. Eric Sogard will take over at shortstop Sunday. |
|
| Sep 22 2017 | Arcia is not in the lineup against the Cubs on Friday. | Arcia will stay on the bench for the second straight contest as manager Craig Counsell elects to go with Eric Sogard at the shortstop position once more. The 23-year-old could enter the fray during the latter stages of Friday's game, much like he did Thursday night. |
|
| Sep 21 2017 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs. | Arcia will open on the bench for a second time in six games as manager Craig Counsell continues to give Eric Sogard starts around the infield. The 23-year-old has turned in a respectable .271/.364/.354 line with seven RBI and a 9:7 K:BB through 18 games in September. |
|
| Sep 18 2017 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates. | Arcia remains the Brewers' regular shortstop, but he has opened a few more games on the bench of late with manager Craig Counsell looking to get Eric Sogard in the lineup more frequently. Monday's game will mark the third time in six games Sogard has gotten the nod over Arcia. |
|
| Sep 15 2017 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins. | Arcia takes a seat on the bench for the series opener following a 1-for-3 day at the plate during Wednesday's victory over Pittsburgh. In his place, Eric Sogard draws the start, while batting atop the order. |
|
| Sep 12 2017 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates. | Arcia will head to the bench following eight straight starts as Eric Sogard takes over at shortstop. While the 23-year-old Arcia has shown more growth at the plate this season than many expected, he's been up and down since the All-Star break, and he will likely continue to sit once a week or so as the Brewers look to keep Sogard, Hernan Perez and Jonathan Villar involved. |
|
| Sep 9 2017 | Arcia went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and two runs in Saturday's 15-2 win over the Cubs. | Arcia had been hitting just .132 over 53 at-bats since Aug. 13, but he finally got back on track Saturday along with a number of his teammates in the blowout win. In spite of the extended slump, Arcia's season-long numbers -- .270 average, 14 home runs, 13 stolen bases, 52 runs -- are still quite useful from a shortstop-eligible player, so he could be worth plugging back into lineups again even if Saturday's performance doesn't prove to be a harbinger of what's to come. |
|
| Sep 2 2017 | Arcia is out of Saturday's lineup against the Nationals. | The Brewers are going with a lefty-heavy approach against the best right-handed pitcher in the National League, Max Scherzer. Eric Sogard gets the start at shortstop and will lead off. |
|
| Aug 30 2017 | Arcia is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals. | Arcia will retreat to the bench following five straight starts, going just 2-for-17 (.118 average) at the plate during that span. In his place, Eric Sogard draws the start at shortstop while batting leadoff. |
|
| Aug 26 2017 | Arcia went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Dodgers. | Arcia's 13th home run of the season broke a scoreless tie in the fifth inning. He has been running hot and cold since the All-Star break; after slashing .241/.317/.296 to begin the second half, he posted a .907 OPS in his first 13 games of August. The 23-year-old was on another slide entering play Saturday (2-for-18), but hopefully this performance will spark another hot stretch. |
|
| Aug 22 2017 | Arcia was left out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game in San Francisco, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. | Arcia recently missed a pair of starts due to back spasms, but there has been nothing yet to suggest this absence is related. Eric Sogard will take over at shortstop and bat seventh. |
|
| Aug 18 2017 | Arcia (back) returns to the lineup for Friday's series opener in Colorado, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. | Arcia was forced to miss the past two games while dealing with back spasms, but is ready to play after the team received a scheduled day off Thursday. He's back in his typical spot at short while batting eighth in the order. |
|
| Aug 16 2017 | Arcia (back) is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Pirates. | Arcia will stay on the bench for the second straight game as Eric Sogard picks up another start at shortstop. The 23-year-old was scratched just hours prior to Tuesday's series opener with back spasms, and although it's unclear whether Arcia is still dealing with the injury or just recovering from the setback, he will receive added rest as Milwaukee gets a scheduled day off Thursday before beginning a road trip in Colorado. |
|
| Aug 15 2017 | Arcia was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to back spasms. | This was a pretty late scratch -- roughly two hours before first pitch. Eric Sogard slides in at shortstop and takes Arcia's spot in the eight hole. |
|
| Aug 13 2017 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds. | Arcia is enjoying a phenomenal early start to the month of August, as the emerging young shortstop is currently hitting .348 through the first 12 games of the month. He'll receive a well-earned breather as Eric Sogard takes over at shortstop, batting seventh. |
|
| Aug 10 2017 | Arcia moves up to the two spot in the order for Thursday's series finale against Minnesota. | Besides two games this season, Arcia has hit no earlier than sixth in the order, and has typically resided in the eight hole for the majority of the 2017 campaign. With the Milwaukee offense needing a spark, especially at this spot in the order, manager Craig Counsell appears to be giving Arica an opportunity to claim the role. Since Aug. 3, the 23-year-old has gone 12-for-26 at the plate, with two home runs, three RBI and five runs. |
|
| Aug 4 2017 | Arcia went 3-for-3 with a triple, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 2-0 win over the Rays. | The shortstop celebrated his 23rd birthday in style, not only supplying rookie Brandon Woodruff with all the offense he would need in his MLB debut but also gunning down Corey Dickerson at the plate to end the seventh inning and preserve what at the time was a 1-0 lead. Arcia's 10 homers, 10 steals and .743 OPS in 106 games have made him useful in deeper fantasy formats this season, but he may just be scratching the surface of his offensive potential. |
|
| Jul 27 2017 | Arcia is out of the lineup Thursday against Washington. | Arcia will get a breather for the first time in July, while Eric Sogard slides over to man the shortstop position during Thursday's series finale. Throughout the course of this month, Arcia is hitting .481/.509/.870 with six home runs and 24 RBI, and should return to the lineup for the opener against the Cubs on Friday. |
|
| Jul 18 2017 | Arcia went 2-for-4 with an RBI and three stolen bases in Monday's loss to the Pirates. | Arcia came into the game with five steals in nine attempts for the season, having gone nearly three weeks without a stolen-base attempt. He's now slashing .281/.319/.419 on the year, which is a big improvement over where he was even a month ago (.258/.300/.373). At 22 years old, the former top prospect is a net positive in the field and he's already making strides at the plate, so he should be treated as a pretty valuable dynasty league asset. |
|
| Jul 15 2017 | Arcia went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's win over the Phillies. | The home run was Arcia's third of July and ninth this season. His season line, which sat at .251/.293/.368 at the end of May, is now up to .282/.322/.425. He hasn't attempted a steal since June 28 and has just five stolen bases this year, but Arcia's bat is catching up to his glove quicker than most expected after some initial struggles at the big-league level. |
|
| Jul 2 2017 | Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Marlins. | Arcia has doubled last season's home run total with eight, and is actually slashing a solid .288/.329/.435 after a 5-for-8 performance with a pair of long balls over the weekend. Despite going 22-for-50 with nine extra-base hits since Jun. 17, Arcia continues to hit eighth in Milwaukee's batting order. |
|
| Jun 30 2017 | Arcia is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Miami. | With Jonathan Villar returning from a back injury and playing well (two home runs during Thursday's contest), the Brewers can afford to give Arcia a couple off days. This marks the first game the shortstop will take a seat on the bench since June 5, as Eric Sogard slides over to man his spot while Villar covers second. |
|
| Jun 27 2017 | Arcia went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Reds. | The homer was his sixth of the season, and Arcia is now hitting a sizzling .424 (14-for-33) over his last 10 games. The 22-year-old has made a number of highlight-reel plays on defense since making his major-league debut in 2016, but it looks like his bat is beginning to catch up to his glove. |
|
| Jun 22 2017 | Arcia went 2-for-2 with a double, a walk, and two runs scored in Wednesday's victory over the Pirates. | Not showing up in the box score was Arcia's defensive gem to notch the final out of the contest, but he made plenty of impact offensively as well. Arcia was hitting just .208 after an O-fer on May 17, but in the 31 games since he went 37-for-111 -- a .333 average -- and is now hitting .267 on the season. With Arcia's bat catching up to his glove, expect him to continue starting at shortstop nearly every day. |
|
| Jun 17 2017 | Arcia went 2-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run during Saturday's loss to San Diego. | A full-time gig has enabled Arcia to accumulate 21 RBI and 25 runs this season, but his .258/.300/.378 slash line, five homers and four stolen bases are underwhelming virtual numbers. In cavernous mixed and NL-only settings, the 22-year-old shortstop offers a modest fantasy floor through consistent playing time, but his ceiling is low. |
|
| Jun 5 2017 | Arcia is not in the lineup Monday against the Giants. | Arcia has been swinging the bat well as of late, collecting 14 hits in over the past 14 games. However, he'll get a night off on the heels of a two-strikeout performance Sunday, allowing Eric Sogard to pick up a start at shortstop. |
|
| May 24 2017 | Arcia is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays. | Arcia owns a .276 on-base percentage for the season, but his performance had been trending up of late, as he came into Wednesday riding a four-game hitting streak. However, with manager Craig Counsell eager to find at-bats for the red-hot Eric Sogard until he cools, Arcia will take a seat during the day game to make room for the veteran in the lineup. |
|
| May 15 2017 | Arcia is not in the lineup Monday against the Padres. | Despite riding a three-game hitting streak into Monday's contest, Arcia will take a seat in favor of Eric Sogard. While he's started to pick it up at the plate recently, the 22-year-old is still slashing just .222/.272/.376 through 35 games this season. |
|
| May 12 2017 | Arcia is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Mets. | Arcia only has a pair of hits in his past four starts, so he'll head to the bench for another day off. Recent callup Eric Sogard will take over at shortstop for the evening. |
