Arcia was designated for assignment by the Padres on Friday, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Padres needed to clear a few spots for prospects ahead of the Rule 5 draft and Arcia was a roster casualty. He's now been dumped by four different organizations this year (Twins, Rays, Marlins, Padres). Arcia showed some promise early in his career and is just 25, but his contact woes are impossible to ignore.
