Goes yard again Monday Arcia went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Brewers.
Impact The shortstop went yard for the second straight game, driving a Colin Rea two-seamer over the center-field fence in the fifth inning. Arcia is finding a groove at the plate, batting .357 (10-for-28) over a nine-game hitting streak, but the surge has still only boosted his OPS on the season to .612 -- his lowest mark in a full big-league campaign since he stumbled to a .575 mark in 2018.

Impact The shortstop is fighting an infection he developed before the tooth was extracted. "All he's getting in him right now, is kind of the [protein] shakes and soup and things like that," manager Brian Snitker said Thursday. "So we were hoping we could maybe get him over here today and move around a little bit. We'll get him out here [Friday]." Arcia hasn't played since June 30 and slashed just .155/.217/.238 through 92 plate appearances last month.
