On Tuesday, September 1, the Cincinnati Reds announced they had signed free agent infielder Orlando Arcia to a minor-league contract, according to the MLB transactions page. The 32-year-old Arcia was subsequently assigned to the team's Triple-A affiliate in Louisville. In June, the Reds had released Arcia following his 19-game stint with the Minnesota Twins.
During his brief tenure with the Twins, Arcia had a .271 batting average, with two extra-base hits and two RBIs. The Reds also revealed that infielder Eugenio Suárez will be taking a U.S. naturalization test, while Manny Machado predicted the future of closer Sal Stewart. Héctor Rodríguez expressed his hope to be among the top candidates in the Reds' September job fair.
Prior to joining the Reds, Arcia spent five full seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers before being traded to the Atlanta Braves in early 2021. In Atlanta, he won the World Series title in 2021 and earned his only All-Star selection in 2023. Arcia played in 76 games with Atlanta and Colorado during the 2025 season.
