2024 Fantasy Outlook
Seemingly everyone in the fantasy community wanted Vaughn Grissom to open the season as Atlanta's starting shortstop. Manager Brian Snitker had other ideas, though, as Grissom was sent back to the minors and Arcia was signed to a three-year contract extension and named the starter at short. It wound up looking like the right call, as Arcia posted career highs with a .741 OPS and 17 home runs while solidifying the team's defense at short. The 29-year-old put up a 1.006 OPS with eight homers in 112 plate appearances against lefties versus just a .674 OPS against righties. Arcia hasn't had drastic splits like that before, though, so it's difficult to know what, if anything, to take away from it. He'll bat toward the bottom of the lineup and won't help in stolen bases, but it's a good lineup to be in and Arcia could show enough pop again in 2024 to be mixed-league relevant. Read Past Outlooks
Launches second homer
Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Guardians.
ANALYSIS
The shortstop crushed a Pedro Avila two-seamer over the fence in left-center field, giving Atlanta its last offense of the night in the eighth inning. Arcia has both his homers on the year in the last nine games, and he's slashing .311/.340/.478 through 97 plate appearances with nine RBI and 12 runs as he proves his 2023 resurgence was no fluke.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Defense, versatility valued
Arcia's versatility helps maintain Atlanta's depth and was a key reason why he won the starting shortstop position to start the season, shares David O'Brien of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Arcia wins the starting gig over Vaughn Grisson and Braden Shewmake. O'Brien details how neither young stalwart "had such an overwhelming performance this spring as to make it worth losing part of the team's highly prioritized depth, which the Braves were sure would happen if they had Grissom or Shewmake as their shortstop and Orlando Arcia as their utility infielder."

Despite putting together his best season with a 104 wRC+, Arcia was limited to just 68 games. He played sparingly at first but took over at second base when Ozzie Albies broke his foot in mid-June. Arcia then lost playing time to Robinson Cano. He also missed three weeks in August with a hamstring issue. Arcia's improved production was fueled by a 2.5-mph uptick in average exit velocity in tandem with hitting more flyballs. Other than in 2019 with Milwaukee, Arcia has been a utility player, capable of filling in for an injured player when needed. He's ticketed for a similar role this season, precluding him from mixed league relevance. However, with the ability to play all four infield positions and left field in a pinch, Arcia will compile ample playing time to be a factor in NL-only formats.
