Prospect Grissom homers in debut, Braves beat Red Sox 8-4

Top Atlanta prospect Vaughn Grissom homered onto Lansdowne Street in his major league debut to lead the Braves to an 8-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

September return likely Arcia (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, said he could return in 3-to-4 weeks, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Arcia suffered the hamstring strain during Tuesday's win over the Red Sox, and it appears he'll be sidelined until at least the start of September. Atlanta is already without Ozzie Albies (foot), so prospect Vaughn Grissom was called up and should receive significantly playing time at second base.

Braves call up top prospect Grissom, bring back RHP Yates

The Atlanta Braves have made a couple of big moves

AUGUST 10, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Officially lands on injured list Arcia (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Arcia sustained a left hamstring strain Tuesday against the Red Sox and will be forced to miss at least a week and a half. It's not yet clear how much time the 28-year-old is expected to miss, but Atlanta called up Vaughn Grissom from Double-A Mississippi on Wednesday, and the prospect should have a chance to carve out playing time at second base while Arcia and Ozzie Albies (foot) are sidelined.

Heading to IL Arcia will be placed on the injured list after suffering a left hamstring strain during Tuesday's win over the Red Sox, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Arcia gave Atlanta the lead with an RBI double during the 10th inning, but he injured his hamstring while coming into second base. He came off the bag and was tagged out before being helped off the field. The 28-year-old has been operating as the primary second baseman with Ozzie Albies (foot) already sidelined, and Ehire Adrianza is now likely to step into a starting role.

Not in Sunday's lineup Arcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact Arcia was held out of the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader and will be on the bench again for Sunday Ehire Adrianza will work at the keystone during the series finale in New York.

Pops seventh homer Arcia went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Phillies.

Impact The 28-year-old utility player gave Atlanta a 1-0 lead by taking Zack Wheeler deep in the fifth inning, but it was all the offense the home team could muster on the afternoon. Arcia has started five straight games at second base and homered in the last two, giving him seven long balls on the year in 178 plate appearances to go with a .247/.320/.411 slash line, and he'll continue to hold down the fort at the keystone until Ozzie Albies (foot) makes his return.

Castellanos HR after overturned call, Phils beat Braves 3-1

Nick Castellanos hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning as the Philadelphia Phillies took full advantage of an overturned call to beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1

Blasts homer in win Arcia went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 13-1 win over the Phillies.

Impact Arcia's sixth home run of the season came in the fifth inning, when he took reliever Corey Knebel deep with two outs and a runner on base. With Atlanta cutting bait on the Robinson Cano experiment and not adding further reinforcement in the middle infield other than utility man Ehire Adrianza ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, Arcia looks poised to serve as the team's everyday second baseman until Ozzie Albies (foot) is ready to return from the injured list later in the season. Arcia will pick up his fifth consecutive start in Wednesday's series finale and will bat eighth.

Starting again Sunday Arcia is starting at second base and batting eighth Sunday versus Arizona.

Impact It's the third consecutive start for Arcia, and the second straight to come against a right-handed pitcher with Merrill Kelly on the mound Sunday for Arizona. Robinson Cano has the platoon advantage but has a .377 OPS through nine games with Atlanta, so it appears Arcia is back as the primary option at the keystone.

Sticking in bench role Arcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Arcia recently completed a three-game starting streak while Atlanta faced off against a trio of lefty pitchers, but he'll be on the bench for the second straight game while Philadelphia bring another righty (Kyle Gibson) to the bump. The 27-year-old looks as though he'll occupy the short side of a platoon at second base with the lefty-hitting Robinson Cano for the foreseeable future.

Swats fifth homer Arcia went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 8-1 win over the Angels.

Impact Robinson Cano got the start at second base but was lifted early due to dizziness, so Arcia wound up seeing a full night's worth of playing time. The 27-year-old utility player took advantage by crushing a first-pitch slider from a fading Shohei Ohtani to left field for his fifth homer of the year, breaking open a 3-0 game. He hasn't seen much action since Cano was added to the roster, but if the latter winds up missing more time, Arcia would take over as the starter at the keystone in the short term.

Pops fourth homer Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-4 win over the Nationals.

Impact With southpaw Patrick Corbin on the mound for the Nats, Arcia got the start at second base while hitting eighth and took advantage of the matchup. The 27-year-old infielder is slashing .256/.329/.388 with four homers, 13 runs and 18 RBI in 146 plate appearances, and for now he'll handle the short side of a platoon alongside Robinson Cano until Ozzie Albies (foot) is ready to return.
