Oswaldo Arcia had a three-run homer and an RBI single to lead the Twins to a 6-4 win over the Brewers on Wednesday. |
That's three homers in 10 games since Arcia rejoined the Twins. Overall, he's hitting .333 with eight RBI in those games. We wouldn't count on him hitting for average all year long, but the power is there to make him an acceptable fifth outfielder in mixed leagues. |

Oswaldo Arcia belted a solo home run off Vidal Nuno on Friday, helping to lead the Twins to a victory over the Yankees. |
He finished the night 2-for-4 and scored a pair of runs. He has now hit safely in each of his first five games since returning from the disabled list, going 9-for-21 (.333) with a pair of homers and two RBI. He's worthy of being started in all mixed leagues while he's hitting in the middle of the Twins lineup. |

Tue May 27 2014 | 23:08 | Arcia homers, doubles as Twins stun Rangers |
Oswaldo Arcia went 2-for-4 with his first home run of the season and the game-tying run in the ninth as the Twins came from behind to beat the Rangers 4-3 on Tuesday. |
Arcia returned to the Twins' lineup on Monday, and Tuesday he went deep for the first time this year after hitting 14 home run in 351 at-bats last season. Arcia also doubled off Rangers closer Joakim Soria in the ninth inning, later coming around to score the game-tying run. With a wrist injury behind him, Arcia's power should play again this year. He's a nice add in deeper mixed leagues. |
