Twins boost infield depth, sign veteran SS Arcia to Minors deal MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins have added needed middle-infield depth by agreeing to terms on a Minor League contract with veteran shortstop Orlan...

Signs minors deal with Twins Arcia signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Arcia endured his worst season in the big leagues last year, slashing .202/.238/.291 with 13 RBI and 13 runs scored across 214 plate appearances between Atlanta and Colorado. The 31-year-old will have a chance to bounce back in the Twins' farm system, but he likely won't act as more than bench depth if he makes it back to the majors in 2026.

Last Night in Baseball: So it Turns Out the Cubs Can Stop the Brewers

Fills in at third base Arcia went 1-for-2 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Arcia drew the start at third base with Kyle Karros (back) sidelined, and he's now been in the lineup twice across four games since being activated from the injured list. He drew his two RBI with a sacrifice fly and an infield single and also tallied an insurance run in the sixth inning. Assuming Karros is able to avoid the injured list, Arcia will likely shift to a bench role moving forward.

Major league-worst Rockies rally again to beat the Diamondbacks, 6-5

Comes off IL The Rockies activated Arcia (elbow) off the injured list Saturday.

Impact Arcia missed the minimum 10 games while on the IL due to right elbow inflammation. Though he's now healthy enough to return to action, he may be reduced to a part-time role given that Kyle Karros has hit well while manning the hot corner after being promoted in the wake of Arcia's IL stint. Aaron Schunk was sent down to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday to clear room for Arcia's return to the 26-man roster.

Placed on injured list The Rockies placed Arcia on the 10-day injured list Friday with right elbow inflammation.

Impact Arcia hasn't played since leaving Tuesday's game early with an elbow injury, and he'll officially miss at least another week now that he's on the IL. Kyle Karros and Aaron Schunk were both called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to replenish the Rockies' infield depth, though it's unclear which player will receive the lion's share of playing time at third base.

Out Wednesday with elbow injury Arcia won't start in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays due to a right elbow injury, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Arcia went 1-for-2 with a base hit before he was lifted for a pinch runner in the bottom of the fifth inning of Tuesday's 10-4 loss due to the elbow issue. According to Henry, interim manager Warren Schaeffer said that Arcia is set to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, and the Rockies will wait and see how the veteran infielder feels following Thursday's off day before determining whether he'll require a stint on the injured list. Kyle Farmer will cover third base in Arcia's stead Wednesday.
