Oswaldo Arcia: Finds work in indy ranks
Oswaldo Arcia signed a contract Wednesday with the Cleburne Railroaders of the independent American Association.Arcia appeared in 288 MLB games with the Twins, Rays, Marlins and Padres from 2013 through 2016, but he's since bounced around between a number of foreign and independent clubs. The 30-year-old will likely first need to parlay a strong showing with Cleburne into a minor-league contract with an MLB organization before a return to the big leagues becomes a realistic possibility.

Oswaldo Arcia: Takes power to Japan
Oswaldo Arcia signed a one-year, $1.7 million deal with the Nippon Ham Fighters on Friday, which includes a one-year mutual option and $300,000 in incentives, Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.com reports.Arcia has big raw power and fits the mold of a former MLB player who is able to go overseas and improve his stock. He hit .326/.410/.639 with 24 home runs in 400 plate appearances at Triple-A with the Diamondbacks last season. Unfortunately he is an awful outfield defender and has a career .235 average and 31.5 percent strikeout rate. If he is able to earn another shot in the big leagues in a year or two, it will likely be as a designated hitter.

Diamondbacks' Oswaldo Arcia: Wins organization's player of month award
Oswaldo Arcia was named the Arizona Diamondbacks' Minor League Player of the Month on Friday, ArizonaSports.com reports.Arcia failed to win a roster spot with the Diamondbacks coming out of spring training, but that hasn't prevented the outfielder from raking at Reno, where he hit .367 with six home runs and 22 RBI in May. The 26-year-old is slashing .364/.422/.752 with 13 long balls overall on the season, but since Arcia isn't a member of the 40-man roster and the Diamondbacks don't have a pressing need for a corner outfielder, a promotion to the big leagues doesn't seem imminent.

Diamondbacks' Oswaldo Arcia: Sent to minor league camp
Oswaldo Arcia was reassigned to minor league camp Friday.The well-traveled outfielder will suit up for his fifth organization this year on the back of his December minor league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Arcia owns decent power and, at 25 years old, still has time to develop into something more than a top-side platoon player. Of course, he must refine the holes in his swing and wait for an opportunity in Arizona's outfield, which appears set without him.

Diamondbacks' Oswaldo Arcia: Joins Diamondbacks on minor league deal
Oswaldo Arcia agreed to a minor league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports.The Padres became the latest team to dump Arcia, releasing him in November. He struck out at a 36 percent clip in 222 plate appearances between Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Miami and San Diego in 2016. Arcia flashed notable power from the left side of the plate earlier in his career and is still just 25, so he makes for a reasonable flier for the Diamondbacks, but it's hard to imagine he'll suddenly put it together.

Padres' Oswaldo Arcia: Designated for assignment
Oswaldo Arcia was designated for assignment by the San Diego Padres on Friday, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.The Padres needed to clear a few spots for prospects ahead of the Rule 5 draft and Arcia was a roster casualty. He's now been dumped by four different organizations this year (Twins, Rays, Marlins, Padres). Arcia showed some promise early in his career and is just 25, but his contact woes are impossible to ignore.

Padres' Oswaldo Arcia: Out of Wednesday's lineup
Oswaldo Arcia is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox.Arcia made an embarrassing blunder in the outfield Tuesday when he allowed Mookie Betts to tag from second base and move to third when he casually fielded a shallow pop fly, so that may explain why he is starting Wednesday's game on the bench. The San Diego Padres are also facing lefty David Price, and Arcia is a career .228 hitter against southpaws, so that made the decision to sit him even easier. Jon Jay will start in right field and lead off in Arcia's place.

Padres' Oswaldo Arcia: Hits first home run with Padres Tuesday
Oswaldo Arcia went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in his second career game with the San Diego Padres.It's been an eventful season for Arcia, who has spent time with Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Miami, and now San Diego, all over just 56 games. Over that whole span he's hitting .234 with seven home runs and 22 RBI. Don't expect much from Arcia going forward, as he will likely be displaced by one of San Diego's talented outfield prospects, Manuel Margot or Hunter Renfroe, in the coming weeks.
