Braves Activate Utility Player and Pitcher Claimed Off Waivers This Week

The Atlanta Braves have activated utility player Orlando Arcia from the 10-day injured list. 

Arcia returns after missing the last three weeks due to a left hamstring strain. He'll take over his super-utility role down the stretch. 

The #Braves today returned INF Orlando Arcia from his rehabilitation assignment and reinstated him from the injured list, and reported RHP Jesse Chavez to Atlanta.
