MILWAUKEE -- Brewers rookie Orlando Arcia, whose 2-for-34 funk over his past 10 games produced the first outward signs of frustration on Monday, found himself on the bench Tuesday, as club officials warned against judging a prospect after 77 Major League plate appearances.
Arcia was 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's win over the Rockies, flinging his bat and helmet to the turf after chasing a slider to cap an eight-pitch strikeout with the bases loaded to end the fifth. The 22-year-old finished the night with a .143/.221/.186 slash line.
"Clearly he's had his struggles at the plate," Brewers general manager David Stearns said.
