Atlanta recalled Arcia from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
Arcia will join Atlanta as a September call-up and will give the team some extra coverage in the middle infield while everyday second baseman Ozzie Albies (knee) likely misses at least the team's next two games. Ehire Adrianza and Arcia are expected to serve as the primary replacements at the keystone for however long Albies is sidelined.
