Orlando Arcia Missing From Game 1 Lineup Saturday
9 months agoAtlanta 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.
