Rays designate Oswaldo Arcia for assignment

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Oswaldo Arcia has been designated for assignment after being activated from the 15-day disabled list.

What It Means:

Arcia got off to a hot start with the Rays after being acquired in a trade from the Minnesota Twins, hitting .450 with a .490 wOBA in his first 22 appearances at the plate with the team. However, he failed to produce after that, recording just five hits across the next 15 contests (39 plate appearances). He finished with a .259/.328/.444 over 61 plate appearances for Tampa Bay. A former top prospect, the 25-year-old has been nothing short of a bust through his first four years in the majors. We'll see if another new home is what he needs to start putting together some reliable fantasy value.

Across 175 total appearances at the plate in 2016, Arcia recorded a .229/.303/.395 slash and .303 wOBA for both the Twins and Rays. He has a total of 8 home runs and 27 RBI's over the past two seasons, after logging 20 jacks and 57 RBI's during his 2014 campaign.
