The Braves appear to have avoided losing their starting shortstop for any long period of time, as Orlando Arcia’s wrist x-rays came back negative after being hit in the wrist by a Hunter Greene fastball. With the off-day Thursday, he may be able to return for Atlanta’s next game, but it’s entirely possible that they give him a few days off, or even put him on the 10-day IL. This avoids the Braves having to call up Vaughn Grissom or Braden Shewmake, neither of which they seemed comfortable starting at shortstop coming out of a spring training in which they both looked quite good.
