Orlando Arcia Out Again Wednesday
5 months agoAtlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia (tooth) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Wednesday against the visiting San Francisco Giants. Zack Short will make another start at shortstop and will bat in the nine-hole for the Braves against Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks. Arcia is getting an abscessed tooth taken care of and will miss another game this week. For now, consider the 29-year-old veteran infielder day-to-day and check back to see if he's back in the starting lineup on the Fourth of July on Thursday in the series finale against the Giants. Arcia has been a below-average hitter in 2024, slashing .211/.245/.337 with a .582 OPS, six homers and 23 RBI in 285 at-bats. Short has been even worse in just 61 at-bats and should be avoided for DFS purposes.
