OF Oswaldo Arcia was designated for assignment to make room for OF Danny Santana. Arcia was hitting .214 with four home runs in part-time duty this season and is a career .240 hitter with 40 homers and 120 RBIs in 251 games since debuting with the club in 2013.

OF Oswaldo Arcia, who was removed from the game on Thursday with a foot contusion, was feeling better and was available off the bench if needed according to Twins manager Paul Molitor. Arcia is hitting .224 with four homers and 12 RBIs in 98 at-bats this season.

RF Oswaldo Arcia was 0-for-2 with a pair of strikeouts Thursday, and left the game in the sixth inning after fouling a ball off his right foot. X-rays were negative. He is listed as day-to-day.

RF Oswaldo Arcia had a pair of doubles on Wednesday. He has gotten at least a hit in all five of his career games versus Miami and is batting .400 lifetime versus the Marlins.

RF Oswaldo Arcia was mired in an 0-for-18 slump prior to his second inning double that scored Robbie Grossman from first base for Minnesota's only run. It was the first double his by Arcia since September 25, 2014 in a game at Detroit.

OF Oswaldo Arcia finished 1-for-4 and was robbed of extra bases in the ninth inning Sunday on a sprinting catch by White Sox center fielder Austin Jackson. During the Twins' six-game road trip, Arcia hit .333 (4-for-12) with a home run, three RBIs, five walks and two runs scored.

OF Oswaldo Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run to win the game in the bottom of the ninth. It was Arcia's second game-winning homer of the season and second walk-off hit; his run-scoring single also beat the Angels in the bottom of the ninth on April 17. It was the Twins' first walk-off home run since Brian Dozier hit one against Baltimore last July 6.

Arcia is in a 0-for-12 slump at Triple-A Rochester and is hitting just .073 in August. He's hitting .214/.277/.393 with ten home runs at Triple-A.

Arcia missed a game after getting hit by a pitch, but the injury appears minor. Arcia had a .928 OPS in July and looked set to return to the majors, but now he may not even be a lock to be recalled in September when major league rosters expand.

Arcia (knee) left Thursday's game after getting hit in the knee by a pitch and didn't play in the second half of a doubleheader for Triple-A Rochester, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Arcia is hitting .221/.286/.407 with ten home runs for Triple-A Rochester. He had a .928 OPS in July and looked set to return to the majors, but has slumped in August with a .366 OPS. If healthy, he'll likely be called up to the majors in September. However, it's been a lost season for Arcia after he looked like an everyday regular in the majors after last year and it's not clear how he figures into Minnesota's 2016 plans.

Arcia is hitting .299/.373/.716 with eight home runs in his last 18 games at Triple-a Rochester. He's hitting .256/.304/.482 overall at Triple-A.

Arcia has been on a tear since he was sent to Triple-A in early June shortly after spending time on the DL in the majors with a hip injury. The Twins not calling him up despite his hot streak and good health has led to speculation he could be a trade chip if Minnesota wants to make a move at the July 31 trade deadline.

Arcia was activated from the 15-day DL Wednesday and optioned to Triple-A Rochester, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.

He has zero hits in his last four games with Rochester, and the Twins are not yet ready to bring him back into the fold at the big league level. Arcia has massive raw power and has already displayed the ability to actualize it against big league pitching, but there is no denying that almost every other aspect of his game could use some work. Look for him to be recalled by the Twins once he gets hot with the Red Wings, as Eddie Rosario, Shane Robinson and Eduardo Escobar are all getting deployed with semi-regularity in the majors.

General manager Terry Ryan indicated Sunday that Arcia's (hip) rehab has "been a little bit of a slow go," and he may not be ready to return quite yet, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Arcia seemed a possibility to return early this week, but instead it sounds as though he may require a little more time. No updated timetable was given, so it's tough to judge at this point when he's expected to rejoin the club.

Minnesota Twins general manager Terry Ryan indicated Sunday that outfielder Oswaldo Arcia may not be ready to return from his hip injury this week, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Minnesota Twins general manager Terry Ryan indicated Sunday that outfielder Oswaldo Arcia may not be ready to return from his hip injury this week, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. No timetable has been given for Arcia's return, as Ryan said his rehab has been "a little bit of a slow go."

Arcia (hip) went 0-for-3 in his first game of a rehab assignment at Triple-A Rochester. He'll play for Triple-A Rochester for at least the rest of the week, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

It sounds like Arcia could be activated from the DL early next week if all goes well. It's not clear what outfielder will be sent down when Arcia is activated, but it seems likely Arcia may play more DH when he returns with Kennys Vargas sent to Triple-A.

Arcia (hip) will start his rehab assignment Sunday at Triple-A Rochester, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Arcia resumed hitting in a cage last Friday and has progressed well enough to start a rehab assignment Sunday. While there is no official timetable for his return, the fact that he'll start playing games at Triple-A Rochester means he could be nearing a return sometime in early June.

Arcia (hip) is getting close to heading out on a rehab assignment, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

It's a fairly uninformative report, as there is no exact timetable or information regarding what Arcia is currently doing. Still, if he is indeed nearing a rehab assignment that means owners should expect him back sometime in early June.

Arcia hit in the cage Friday for the first time since suffering his hip injury, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

As of Tuesday, Arcia still had not resumed swinging, but evidently he received clearance to not only swing but make contact with baseballs. He said he feels good when swinging but is still experiencing some pain when throwing. The Twins have not provided a set timetable for Arcia's return.

Arcia (hip) still has not resumed swinging, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

After being placed on the DL on May 4 with a hip flexor injury, Arcia said he hoped to be game-ready in just 7-to-10 days. That's obviously out the window, with Arcia still not cleared to even take dry swings, and it will be hard to tell where Arcia truly stands until he ramps up his activity. Eddie Rosario and Eduardo Escobar have both seen time in left field in Arcia's absence.

Arcia (hip) is hopeful he'll be game-ready in 7-to-10 days after being placed on the DL on Monday, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.

Arcia is dealing with a right hip flexor strain, and though he'll still be on the DL during the given timetable, it's an encouraging sign that he may need to only miss the minimum 15 days. Eddie Rosario was called up Monday in a corresponding move to fill in the roster spot during Arcia's absence.

Arcia has been placed on the 15-day DL with a right hip flexor strain, Tyler Mason of Fox Sports North reports.

The Twins haven't revealed a timetable for Arcia's recovery, but Eddie Rosario was called up from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move Monday. Arcia is hitting .276/.338/.379 this season after posting three multi-hit efforts in his last four games.
