They assigned him to Triple-A Louisville, according to the affiliate.<\/p>\n<p>Arcia is back in affiliated ball after a three-game stint in the Mexican League. The former All-Star shortstop was in the majors as recently as June, appearing in 19 games and tallying 50 plate appearances for the Twins. Arcia hit .271 with a .300 on-base mark and one home run in that limited stint. He split last season between the Braves and Rockies, struggling to a .202\/.238\/.291 line with a trio of homers across 214 trips.<\/p>\n<p>The 32-year-old Arcia is now three seasons removed from a two-year run as a league average starting shortstop in Atlanta. He still makes a decent amount of contact and can play anywhere on the infield. Arcia has never been one to work many walks and has seen his power production dip after consecutive 17-homer showings in 2023 and \u201924.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/d\/delacel01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-09-01_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Elly De La Cruz<\/a> suffered a minor quad tweak over the weekend and has been at designated hitter for the past two games.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/mclaima01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-09-01_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Matt McLain<\/a> has slid to shortstop with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/a\/arroyed01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-09-01_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Edwin Arroyo<\/a> and the recently recalled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=britoju02,britoju01&amp;search=Juan+Brito&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-09-01_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Juan Brito<\/a> available to cover second base.
