Orlando Arcia O. Arcia

Orlando Arcia absent for Braves Wednesday afternoon

Atlanta Braves infielder Orlando Arcia is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Aaron Nola and the Philadelphia Phillies.

What It Means:

Arcia will take a maintenance day after he failed to record a hit in seven of the last eight games. Nicky Lopez will cover shortstop and hit ninth for Atlanta.

numberFire’s models project Lopez ($2,400) for 7.6 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Braves' implied total is 5.13, second-best on the board, and the game total is 9.5. Nola has a 4.62 ERA and 3.80 xERA this season, with a 38.1% hard-hit rate, 24.9% strikeout rate, and 6.0% walk rate (top 84th percentile of league).
