Arcia is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arcia will be out of the lineup for the second time in the past three games as he takes a seat Friday. In his place, Nick Franklin will get the start in left while batting eighth.

Arcia is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Angels, 620 WDAE's Steve Carney reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arcia was given a big role with the Rays right away after they claimed him on waivers, but so far he has failed to produce. He has gone hitless in five of his nine starts, and has five strikeouts over his last three games. Corey Dickerson will get the start in left field and hit seventh Wednesday.

Arcia is out of the lineup Sunday against the Tigers, MLB.com's Bill Chastain reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arcia had been in the starting lineup in five of the previous six games, but after going 0-for-5 over the last two of those contests, he'll be given a rest Sunday. The Rays have a bit of a crowd in the outfield now with Steven Souza (hip) and Brandon Guyer (hamstring) recently returning from the DL, but with Desmond Jennings (hamstring) now ailing and sitting on just a .286 on-base percentage for the season, Arcia could still be positioned well for semi-regular at-bats.

Arcia will start in right field and bat eighth Friday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Arcia returned Thursday after missing Wednesday's game due to illness, going 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in a loss to Detroit. He will remain in the lineup Friday, marking his sixth start in eight games since joining Tampa Bay. The 25-year-old has as many hits with the Rays (9) as he did with the Twins in the entire month of May.

Arcia was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to an illness, the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was slated to start in right field and hit sixth, but the illness popped up a couple hours before first pitch, so he will get the day to rest. Nick Franklin will get a rare start in left field with Brandon Guyer sliding over to right field.

Arcia has raised his average 29 points to .243 in just four games with the Rays, courtesy of a .666 (6-for-9) average with two doubles, a homer, three RBI and three runs over the last two contests.

EDGE Analysis

Arcia put together his second straight three-hit performance in Monday's 13-7 victory over the Red Sox, after having gone hitless in his first three at-bats in a Tampa uniform. With an outfield that's been decimated by injury and an offense that's struggled considerably over the course of the season, Arcia has a very real opportunity for playing time if he can continue to produce at the plate.

Arcia went 3-for-4 with a two-run double and a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

It's his first homer as a Ray and fifth of the season. After washing out of Minnesota, Arcia seems intent on taking full advantage of his chance with Tampa Bay, but with Brandon Guyer (hamstring) set to return to action some time next week Arcia's window to prove himself could be a small one.

Arcia will make his second straight start in right field and bat sixth in the lineup Sunday against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

After acquiring Arcia from the Twins on Friday, the Rays appear willing to give the 25-year-old a trial as at least a semi-regular option in right field. With all of Steven Souza (hip), Brandon Guyer (hamstring) and Mikie Mahtook (hand) on the DL, Arcia should get a decent look from the Rays until at least one of those players returns.

Arcia is in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arcia did not get the nod in Game 1, but he'll make his first start in a Rays uniform for the nightcap. The lefty will get the start in right field and bat seventh in the order.

Arcia is not in the lineup Saturday for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rays acquired Arcia from the Twins on Friday, but he won't get the nod in Game 1 of Saturday's two-game set. However, the expectation is that Arcia will make his first start for Tampa Bay in the nightcap. likely in one of the corner outfield spots.
