Arcia was claimed off waivers by the Padres on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Arcia's eventful August continued Saturday as he will be with his third organization in eight days after being picked up by the Padres. He'll add a left-handed bat to San Diego's corner outfield group. The Padres optioned Patrick Kivlehan to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move Saturday.

Arcia was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Thursday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arcia just joined the Marlins after being designated for assignment by the Rays a few days ago, but the Marlins became the third team to remove him from its 40-man roster this season, which frees up a spot for trade acquisition Jeff Francoeur. Arcia will be subjected to waivers once again before his next move is determined.

Arcia was claimed off waivers by the Marlins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Just days after being DFA'd by the Rays, Arcia was scooped up by a Marlins team that was missing some left-handed power in Justin Bour's absence. Arcia has been designated for assignment twice this season alone, but at age 25, he still has some upside. In total, he's slashed an underwhelming .229/.303/.395 with six home runs and an astronomical 37.1% strikeout rate. He figures to be a situational hitter against right-handed pitching while with the Marlins.

Arcia (elbow) was designated for assignment by the Rays on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Two home runs in a rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday weren't enough to save Arcia's job, as the Rays opted to effectively cut ties rather than return him to the roster. Arcia will now be subjected to waivers, and at 25 years old, he may still appeal to a handful of teams looking to take a flier.

Arcia (elbow) is hitting .238 (5-for-21) with a triple, homer, four RBI and a walk over his seven rehab appearances for High-A Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
The recovering slugger is still trying to find his timing at the plate, having struck out seven times over those 21 at-bats as well. After notching a hit in each of his first three games for the Stone Crabs, Arcia is just 2-for-14 since that point, with his best outing coming on Aug. 12 against Fort Myers when he went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer. He's also fanned at least once in each of the last four contests. Arcia may put in a few more games in the minors before a return to the big-league club.

Arcia (elbow) is making his first rehab appearance for High-A Charlotte on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old was placed on the 15-day DL on July 29 with a right elbow strain and begins his road back to the big league club Wednesday. Arcia is expected to make multiple appearances for the Stone Crabs before a decision on his return to the Rays is rendered.

Arcia (elbow) is expected to begin a rehab assignment within the next two days, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old outfielder has been on the shelf since late July with a strained right elbow, but he has progressed to the point to where he's ready to get back into game action. He'll start at High-A Charlotte, but it's unclear how many games he'll need to get under his belt before the Rays consider activating him. When he does return, however, he'll add a viable left-handed bat to a struggling Rays offense.

Arcia was placed on the 15-day DL with a right elbow strain Friday, Steve Carney of 620wdae reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arcia left Saturday's game against Oakland with what was labeled a "mild elbow strain" but it appears he is still dealing with recurring symptoms and will require a stint on the DL. The 25-year-old had been having a cold month of July, going 5-for-34 (.147) through 15 games and will look to get back on track when he returns to the big league club.

Arcia is out of the lineup as Tampa Bay faces the Dodgers on Tuesday, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arcia will sit out Tuesday's game as Corey Dickerson gets the start in left and Brandon Guyer mans right. Even though Arcia was the DH for Sunday's contest, he left Saturday's game with a mild right-elbow strain, which could be part of the reason the 25-year-old is being held out of the lineup. Another reason is that he is hitting a paltry .226 on the season during 155 at-bats with only six home runs and 19 RBI while playing a part-time role in the Rays' outfield.
