Rockies' Orlando Arcia: Retreating to bench Sunday
Arcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Arcia had picked up starts in the middle infield in three of the Rockies' previous four games, but he'll head to the bench Sunday even while second baseman Thairo Estrada (thumb) remains out of the lineup. Estrada will likely be ready to go for the start of the Rockies' second-half slate, and shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) could also be activated from the injured list coming out of the All-Star break. Arcia is batting .188 with two home runs and five RBI in 27 games since signing with Colorado in late May.

Rockies' Orlando Arcia: Back on bench Monday
Arcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
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.

Rockies' Orlando Arcia: Sitting down Saturday
Arcia isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Arcia went 1-for-5 in Friday's 12-4 loss to extend his hitting streak to four games. After starting at shortstop Friday, Arcia will give way to Ryan Ritter on Saturday. Ritter projects to serve as the Rockies' primary option at the position while Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) is on the shelf, but Arcia could continue to see steady at-bats while also making starts at first base, third base and designated hitter.

Rockies' Orlando Arcia: On bench Friday
Arcia is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.
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.

Rockies' Orlando Arcia: Slugs homer in loss
Arcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Mets.
Arcia made his second start with the Rockies since signing with the team Monday. He delivered his home run to start the third inning. Arcia hasn't yet moved into a full-time role with Colorado, but if he's able to build on Sunday's performance, he could gain some traction in the everyday lineup quickly.

Rockies' Orlando Arcia: Headed to Colorado
Arcia agreed to a one-year, major-league contract with the Rockies on Monday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Arcia didn't have to wait long 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. Though Arcia has played primarily at shortstop during his career, the Rockies have Ezequiel Tovar locked in at that position on a long-term contract, so Arcia will likely end up seeing most of his opportunities at second base. Rookie Adael Amador has been serving as the Rockies' primary option at the keystone, but he's produced a lowly .473 OPS over 98 plate appearances and could end up being supplanted by Arcia.

Orlando Arcia: Cut loose by Atlanta
Atlanta released Arcia on Sunday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
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.

Braves' Orlando Arcia: DFA'd by Atlanta
Atlanta designated Arcia for assignment Friday.

Braves' Orlando Arcia: Losing work to Nick Allen
Arcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.
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.

Braves' Orlando Arcia: Starting again Wednesday
Arcia will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
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.

Braves' Orlando Arcia: Struggling at plate this spring
Arcia has gone 1-for-15 (.067) over nine Grapefruit league appearances this spring.
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.
