Arcia went 2-for-4 with two home runs in Thursday's spring training win over Miami. He raised his spring batting average to .222 (8-for-36).

EDGE Analysis

Arcia entered spring training as the leading candidate for a reserve outfielder role, but had struggled at the plate before Thursday. Arcia is out of minor league options, which may force the Twins to keep him on the 25-man roster regardless of how he plays this spring. A strong final week of spring training could win him a bench job. If not, the Twins may keep one of three veteran outfielders (Darin Mastroianni, Carlos Quentin or Ryan Sweeney).
