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.

Arcia could get some days off this year against tough left-handed pitchers with Eduardo Escobar playing in left field, the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Arcia is hitting .289 (11-for-38) this spring and looks set to start in left field. However, he's continued to show a weak glove in the outfield and manager Paul Molitor recently said he still needed to earn his roster spot. However, it seems very unlikely he'll lose a starting job, but his fielding woes and news he may get some days off against lefties could reduce his playing time.

Arcia's role as the left fielder isn't set and he's in competition for a job this spring, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "I believe so," Twins manager Paul Molitor said. Arcia has slumped at the plate the past week and continues to struggle as a fielder in left field.

Arcia is hitting just .258 with a .581 OPS and no home runs in ten games this spring. Molitor's comments are likely just to movtivate Arcia and it's unlikely Arcia would begin the season on the bench, but his lack of improvement on defense could hurt his playing time eventually. Arcia may need to move to first base or DH and both positions are overloaded with several good options at the moment.

Arcia went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's split squad loss to Boston and is hitting .368 (7-for-19) with two doubles and no home runs in six games this spring.

Arcia will move to left field this season with Torii Hunter set to start in right field. Arcia looks set as a starter, but needs to improve his defense to avoid an eventual move to 1B or DH. Arcia looks fully healthy after suffering a wrist injury in winter ball.

Arcia is dealing with a tendon issue in his right hand, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Arcia suffered the injury will playing winter ball and has been sidelined over a week. The injury is reportedly considered minor, so it should not prevent Arcia from being ready for spring training. However, an offseason injury is hardly good news for a player who has dealt with several different injuries in his two seasons at the big league level.

Arcia went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run, and three RBI in the Twins' route of Detroit on Friday night.

He still strikes out too often and he missed a lot of time with various injuries this season, but opponents respect his prodigious power (the walk in this one was intentional). Even with his abbreviated season the home run was his 20th of the year, and the Twins will hope for even more in 2015.

Arcia was 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in the Twins' extra-innings win over Cleveland on Friday night.

Arcia entered the game 4-for-8 with three long ones against Indians' starter Trevor Bauer, and took him deep for the fourth time in his first at bat. Arcia has endured nagging injuries much of the season and has accumulated a disappointing .237 average, but he now has 19 home runs and 54 RBI so the power potential remains enticing.

Arcia (back) is in the lineup Friday against the Indians, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

A back strain, suffered on a swing attempt during the eighth inning of Monday's game, ended up costing Arcia just two starts. Arcia will step back in Friday to face right-hander Trevor Bauer, against whom he's 4-for-8 with three homers so far in his career.

Arcia (back) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Arcia, who has been officially diagnosed with a back strain, told manager Ron Gardenhire he could play Tuesday, but the Twins decided to play it safe and hold him out. They will do so again Wednesday, likely in the hope that Arcia will be back at full strength in time for Friday's series opener against Cleveland. Aaron Hicks draws another start in his absence.

Arcia, who has been diagnosed with a strained back, told manager Ron Gardenhire he could play Tuesday, but he was instead given the night off, the Associated Press reports.

We now have an official diagnosis for Arcia, who appeared to injure himself on a swing attempt during Monday's game. The fact that he told Gardenhire he could play Tuesday suggests that Arcia may be very close to returning to the lineup. Consider him day-to-day.

Arcia (back) is out of the Twins' lineup Tuesday against the Tigers, Tyler Mason of FOX Sports North reports.

Arcia appeared to injure himself on a swing attempt during the sixth inning of Monday's game, and while he remains without an official diagnosis, he'll miss at least one start as a result of the injury. Aaron Hicks will step in at right field in his absence. The timing couldn't be much worse for Arcia, as he has hit safely in each of his last seven games, with three homers over that span, but consider him no worse than day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's contest.
