ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia is headed to the injured list after tests revealed a microfracture in his left wrist. Arcia suffered the injury in Wednesday night’s 5-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Arcia was hit on the wrist by a 97 mph fastball from Reds right-hander Hunter Greene in the second inning. The Braves said initial X-rays on the wrist were negative. Candidates to replace Arcia include Vaughn Grissom and Braden Shewmake. Swanson and Shewmake began the season at Triple-A Gwinnett.
