Orlando Arcia Fantasy Stats

The Minnesota Twins have signed free-agent shortstop Orlando Arcia to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training. Arcia will look to bounce back after an ugly season in 2025. He slashed .202/.238/.291 with three home runs and 13 RBI across 76 games with the Atlanta Braves and Colorado Rockies last year. Arcia is only a few years removed from an All-Star campaign he had with the Braves in 2023. It's a low-risk gamble for the Twins, who could potentially be getting a quality backup infielder in Arcia.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Orlando Arcia (elbow) was activated off the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Arcia missed the minimum 10 days while dealing with elbow inflammation. Despite being activated, Arcia isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It's possible that Arcia moves into a part-time role with the Rockies likely wanting to get some of their younger players more playing time down the stretch. That being said, Arcia isn't someone that needs to be rostered in fantasy formats right now. In a corresponding move, Aaron Schunk has been optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room for Arcia on the active roster.

The Colorado Rockies announced on Friday that they placed infielder Orlando Arcia (elbow) on the 10-day injured list with right-elbow inflammation and selected the contract of infielder Aaron Schunk from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. The Rockies also moved infielder Thairo Estrada (hamstring) from the 10-day IL to the 60-day IL. Arcia injured his elbow on Tuesday and is now going to miss at least another week. The Rockies also called up infield prospect Kyle Karros on Friday. It's unclear who will start at the hot corner for the Rockies on Friday night, but they could rotate Karros, Kyle Farmer and Warming Bernabel at the position while Arcia is sidelined. The 31-year-old Arcia has not been a fantasy asset, even in deep leagues, since joining the Rockies midseason, as he's gone 29-for-156 (.186) with only three homers, eight RBI and eight runs on the entire year.

Colorado Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said that infielder Orlando Arcia (elbow) is getting an MRI exam on his elbow after getting injured in Tuesday's loss to the Toronto Blue Jays at Coors Field. Arcia is out of the lineup for the series finale on Wednesday and hasn't landed on the injured list yet because the team is hopeful that he'll miss minimal time with a scheduled off day coming on Thursday. Consider Arcia to be day-to-day for now, with a chance to return for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks. Kyle Farmer is starting at third on Wednesday and is hitting ninth against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. The 31-year-old Arcia has been bad all year at the plate with Atlanta and Colorado and has gone 23-for-125 (.184) with three homers, seven RBI and 27 K's in 44 games for the Rockies.

Colorado Rockies third baseman/shortstop Orlando Arcia (unknown) exited Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Blue Jays in the fifth inning with an apparent injury, per Denver Post's Patrick Saunders. Arcia hit a single in the fifth but then exited the game. He went 1-for-2. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for more information. The 31-year-old has had a poor offensive season between the Braves and the Rockies, slashing .182/.217/.273 with three home runs and eight RBI in 161 plate appearances.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Orlando Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in his team's 4-3 win against the hosting Milwaukee Brewers. The Venezuelan native was held hitless through his first three at-bats in Sunday's contest, but made the most of his final trip to the dish. In the top of the ninth, Arcia stepped to the plate and deposited a hanging Trevor Megill breaking ball 386 feet over the wall in left-center field. It was his second of the season, and knotted the score at 2-2 to send the game into extras. He's been dreadful for Colorado this season, boasting a .196/.228/.299 slash line from the bottom of the order. However, a large portion of that has been against right-handed pitching (.175). The 30-year-old has hit lefties at a much better clip (.294).

Colorado Rockies shortstop Orlando Arcia will make his team debut on Wednesday versus the Chicago Cubs. Arcia recently signed a one-year deal with the Rockies after being released by the Atlanta Braves over the weekend. The 30-year-old hasn't done much with the bat this season, but has been limited to only 14 games. Arcia was an All-Star in 2023, but he has seen his stats take a dramatic fall since then. The Rockies don't have much to lose in this situation, so they might as well take a chance on him. Arcia will serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh versus left-hander Matthew Boyd on Wednesday. Fantasy managers can take a wait-and-see approach with Arcia.

The Colorado Rockies have reportedly signed free-agent shortstop Orlando Arcia on Monday. Arcia was released over the weekend after struggling with the Atlanta Braves to begin the season. The 30-year-old has seen his numbers take a dive since his All-Star season in 2023. It's unclear how he'll fit into the Rockies lineup, but they could use all the help they can get right now. Ezequiel Tovar is the everyday shortstop, but maybe Arcia gets a chance at second base with Adael Amador struggling right now. Regardless, it's unlikely that Arcia produces enough to warrant rostering him in most fantasy formats.

The Atlanta Braves announced on Friday that they designated infielder Orlando Arcia for assignment to make room on the active roster for outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) in his return from the injured list. Arcia went from being the team's starting shortstop on Opening Day to losing the gig to the light-hitting Nick Allen, and now he finds himself off the 40-man roster entirely. If nobody claims the 30-year-old on waivers, he'll be free to sign with any team. The Venezuelan infielder was a first-time All-Star in 2023 with Atlanta but has fallen off a cliff offensively the last two seasons. He hit .218/.271/.354 in 157 games last year but matched his career-high with 17 homers. In just 14 games in 2025, Arcia went 6-for-31 (.194) with no homers, one walk and eight strikeouts before quickly finding himself on the bench in favor of Allen.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Bryan De La Cruz and shortstop Orlando Arcia will both start on the bench for Sunday's series finale against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays. Eli White is starting in left field and will bat ninth, while Nick Allen is at shortstop and in the eight-hole against Rays right-handed spot starter Joe Boyle. De La Cruz has seen more playing time with Jurickson Profar suspended, but he hasn't taken advantage of it so far, going 8-for-37 (.216) with no home runs, a run scored and a stolen base. The 28-year-old went 0-for-7 with a steal and five strikeouts in the first two games of the series against the Rays. Arcia is quickly losing the starting gig at shortstop to Allen, as he's been on the bench for three of the last four games. He's gone just 5-for-24 early on with an RBI and a run scored. Neither White nor Allen have faced Boyle in their careers.
