Rockies' Orlando Arcia: Comes off IL
The Colorado Rockies activated Orlando Arcia (elbow) off the injured list Saturday.Arcia missed the minimum 10 games while on the IL due to right elbow inflammation. Though he's now healthy enough to return to action, he may be reduced to a part-time role given that Kyle Karros has hit well while manning the hot corner after being promoted in the wake of Arcia's IL stint. Aaron Schunk was sent down to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday to clear room for Arcia's return to the 26-man roster.

Rockies' Orlando Arcia: Drawing third straight start
Orlando Arcia will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Orioles.Arcia will cover the hot corner for the third game in a row and looks like he'll get the first chance to serve as the Colorado Rockies' primary option at the position after Colorado shipped Ryan McMahon to the Yankees earlier this weekend. Since signing with Colorado in late May, Arcia hasn't done much to prove that he's deserving of regular playing time.
