Arcia is out of the lineup Saturday, the Star Tribune's LaVelle E. Neal reports.
Analysis:
With lefty James Paxton on the mound for the Mariners, the Twins will keep Arcia on the bench with Eduardo Nunez getting the start in left field. It's a little frustrating that the Twins don't allow Arcia to try his hand against lefties, given the fact that he's only 23 and the team's window to compete will not open until next season at the earliest. However, they seem intent on sitting him with some regularity against lefties, which limits his value in shallower weekly leagues.
