The Twins released Arcia on Friday.
Minnesota parted ways with Arcia after Triple-A St. Paul reinstated shortstop prospect Kaelen Culpepper (hand) from the 7-day injured list in a corresponding move. Arcia was outrighted to Triple-A on June 18 after he had produced a .271/.300/.354 slash line with one home run, two RBI and six runs in 19 games with Minnesota.
