Orlando Arcia Stats

Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia is outside of the starting lineup for the matinee of Saturday's doubleheader against the New York Mets. Nicky Lopez takes over at short and bats ninth for Game 1. Arcia has been a revelation this year; the 2023 All-Star is slashing .297/.353/.467 with 13 home runs, 43 RBI, and 49 runs scored in 330 at-bats. Look for the 29-year-old to get back in there during the nightcap against southpaw Jose Quintana. Arcia is hitting .356 (21-for-59) with six homers, three doubles, and 10 RBI versus left-handed pitching this season.

Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia finished 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a stolen base, and an additional run scored in the club's 10-2 squashing of the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The 28-year-old continues to add to his breakout season. Arcia is slashing a robust .396/.458/.547 with two homers and 12 RBI across his last 53 at-bats. The former Milwaukee Brewers burnout may spend most of his time in the lower-third of the lineup, but his fantastic .339/.398/.494 triple-slash line over 174 ABs overall is impossible to ignore. Arcia hasn't missed a beat since returning from a mid-April wrist fracture in early May. Some regression is possible, but fantasy managers who added the middle infielder in the early goings of the campaign should continue to hang on tight despite his unfavorable lineup placement.

In his return from the injured list on Sunday, Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia went 1-for-4 with a double and two strikeouts in the team's 3-2 extra-inning victory over the visiting Baltimore Orioles. It was Arcia's first game action since April 12 because he didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment before he returned from the injured list. The 28-year-old should take over primary shortstop duties in Atlanta now that he's back and Vaughn Grissom is back in the minor leagues. Arcia is more useful for his glove on defense, but you also can't ignore the fact that he's hitting .327 (16-for-49) with three doubles, two home runs, seven RBI and 10 runs scored in his first 14 games played in 2023.
