Arcia, 26, is in his sixth big-league campaign.

Through four games this season, Arcia has a hit in 11 at-bats.

Arcia is expected to provide cover for middle infielders Dansby Swanson and Ozzie Albies with utility infielder Ehire Adrianza currently on the injured list.

For his career, Arcia is a .244 hitter with 42 home runs, 180 runs batted in and an OPS of .658 over 542 games.

The Braves (0-3) open a three-game series with the Washington Nationals (0-0), who are beginning their 2021 season after this past weekend's series with the New York Mets was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak.
