    CORRECTS TO HITS AN INFIELD GROUND BALL TO DRIVE IN THE WINNING RUN - Milwaukee Brewers' Orlando Arcia hits an infield ground ball to drive in the winning run during the 10th inning of an opening day baseball game against the Minnesota Twins, Thursday, April 1, 2021, in Milwaukee

    The Atlanta Braves have acquired infielder Orlando Arcia from the Milwaukee Brewers for right-handed pitchers Chad Sobotka and Patrick Weigel.

    Arcia had been the Brewers’ starting shortstop from 2018-20, but was expected to split time between shortstop and third base this year in more of a utility role.

    This move clears the way for Luis Urías to take over as the Brewers’ everyday shortstop. The Brewers had acquired the 23-year-old Urías along with pitcher Eric Lauer from San Diego in a November 2019 trade that sent outfielder Trent Grisham and pitcher Zach Davies to the Padres.
