Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk in Friday's 7-2 win over the Phillies. Arcia has had a bit of a power surge in August, belting six of his 15 home runs this month. Arcia tends to be a bit streaky though and he was not hitting for average heading into this game, as he was just 10-for-60 (.167) in the two weeks prior to Friday's contest (17 games), so he can be frustrating for fantasy purposes. For the season, the 30-year-old has a .228-15-41-41-1 line with a .283 wOBA and 73 wRC+. Despite playing in a good lineup, there are better options at shortstop on the waiver wire in most leagues.--Jarod Rupp - RotoBaller

Atlanta Braves infielder Nick Allen will retreat to the bench for Sunday's series finale at Truist Park against the division-rival Miami Marlins, with Orlando Arcia starting at shortstop and batting eighth against Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara. Allen made four straight starts at the 6 for Atlanta, going 4-for-14 with a double, RBI, two stolen bases and a run scored. Meanwhile, Arcia has gone 2-for-13 with five strikeouts in his first four games of the 2025 season. Arcia was expected to be the team's starting shortstop, but it appears Allen is getting a legitimate shot to take over everyday duties in the early going. While he's hitting .400 with a 1.600 OPS with a homer and two RBI in five career at-bats versus Alcantara, it won't be an easy matchup and Arcia should be avoided in DFS lineups. It will be telling who the Braves go with on Tuesday for the start of a series against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Miami Marlins at Truist Park. Nick Allen will instead make the start at the 6 and bat eighth against Marlins right-hander Max Meyer. Arcia started for the Braves in four of the first five games of the season but will now start on the bench on Friday for his third straight contest. The 30-year-old Venezuelan veteran has struggled at the plate, going 2-for-13 with no walks and five strikeouts in four games played, so the Braves will give Allen another chance. Allen has four hits (one double) in his first 11 plate appearances with an RBI and two stolen bases, but he's more of a defense-first player and should be considered a long shot for much production in DFS on Friday. Allen has never faced Meyer in his MLB career.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia will take a seat ahead of Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. Arcia got the starting nod on Opening Day, but will take a seat the next day. He went 1-for-4 at the plate with two strikeouts, so not exactly a stellar performance. Arcia has some decent pop in his bat, but is probably only worth rostering in NL-only formats right now. Nick Allen will cover shortstop and bat eighth versus right-hander Dylan Cease on Friday. Fantasy managers can find a better streaming option than Allen for Friday's slate.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia played a big role in his team's 6-1 win over the San Diego Padres on Friday. Arcia went 2-for-3 with a homer, two runs, and two RBI to help power his team to the win. The 29-year-old's homer, a two-run shot, came in the fifth inning and gave the Braves a 5-1 lead at the time. After setting a career-high with 17 homers in 2023, Arcia is hitting .212 with seven homers, 27 runs, and 25 RBI over 311 at-bats this season.--Matt T - RotoBaller
