MILWAUKEE — The future starts on Tuesday for the Milwaukee Brewers.

After dealing All-Star catcher Jonathan Lucroy and their top two relievers, the rebuilding Brewers plan to call up their top prospect, shortstop Orlando Arcia, from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

He will make his major league debut in San Diego against the Padres on Tuesday night. Arcia will start at short, pushing major league stolen base leader Jonathan Villar to third.

Milwaukee dealt away a fan favorite in Lucroy and closer Jeremy Jeffress to Texas. But the franchise could have the first piece of its future core in the majors in Arcia.
