Arcia left Sunday's game in the fifth inning due to right hip irritation, Tyler Mason of Fox Sports North reports. Arcia was 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored before exiting. Consider him day-to-day, with his availability for Monday's series opener against the Athletics uncertain.

Arcia went 2-for-4 with his second homer and two RBI in Wednesday's loss to Detroit. The young right fielder has been warming of late, with hits in four straight and multiple hits in two straight, lifting his batting average to a more-competent .250. His power numbers are still lagging, but the thunder in Arcia's bat is unquestionable after he popped 20 homers in just 103 games last season.

Arcia is out of the lineup Monday against the Tigers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Arcia will take a seat as the Twins take on southpaw David Price on Monday. Jordan Schafer will get the start in left field and bat eighth as the club continues to be hesitant to allow Arcia to get regular at bats against left-handed pitching.

Arcia is out of the lineup Saturday, the Star Tribune's LaVelle E. Neal reports. With lefty James Paxton on the mound for the Mariners, the Twins will keep Arcia on the bench with Eduardo Nunez getting the start in left field. It's a little frustrating that the Twins don't allow Arcia to try his hand against lefties, given the fact that he's only 23 and the team's window to compete will not open until next season at the earliest. However, they seem intent on sitting with some regularity against lefties, which limits his value in shallower weekly leagues.

Arcia is not in the starting lineup Thursday, Fox Sports North's Tyler Mason reports. The Twins have been sitting Arcia against southpaws in the early going, which isn't that bad for his fantasy value in roto leagues. He has a career slugging percentage of .340 against lefties versus .490 against righties, so not much production is being missed, and this lessens the batting average drain that comes with the profile. Eduardo Escobar will get the start in left Thursday.

Arcia is not in Sunday's starting lineup as Eduardo Nunez is starting in left field and hitting eighth in the order Sunday against the White Sox, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Arica is sitting against a tough lefty (Chris Sale), but Arcia's usage pattern in the first week is a little concerning since he's missed two of the first six games (and one against a right-handed starter). It could just be that Arcia is sitting to give backups a chance to play the first week, but it's worth monitoring.

Arcia is not in the lineup Thursday against the Tigers, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Arcia had started back-to-back contests for the Twins in left field, going 1-for-6 at plate with three strikeouts. He'll be replaced by Eduardo Escobar, who is 0-for-2 this year in two pinch-hit appearances.

Arcia (illness) is in the lineup for Thursday's spring game, Brian Murphy of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Arcia missed Wednesday's spring game due to his ailment, but whatever illness he was dealing with was only minor. Expect him to line up as the Twins' starting left fielder Opening Day.

Arcia (illness) is scheduled to play in Thursday's spring game, LaVelle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Arcia was scratched from Wednesday's Grapefruit League lineup with a stomach ailment, but he's tentatively scheduled to return after just one day out. Barring any further setbacks, Arcia's Opening Day status isn't expected to be in any jeopardy.

Arcia was scratched from Wednesday's Grapefruit League lineup due to a case of the stomach flu, LaVelle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Arcia was set to play left field in the game against the Red Sox, but ended up being scratched in favor of Eduardo Escobar when the symptoms surfaced. The illness isn't expected to jeopardize Arcia's availability for Opening Day.
