Red Sox IF Hernández tests positive for COVID-19
Boston Red Sox infielder Kiké Hernández has tested positive for COVID-19 and will be sidelined indefinitelyAUGUST 27, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
On COVID IL as close contact Arroyo was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday as a close contact of Enrique Hernandez, who tested positive for the virus, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Manager Alex Cora said both players will be sidelined for an "extended period," though Arroyo figures to have a shorter timeline if he continues to test negative. The Red Sox are now short on options at second base, so Jonathan Arauz and Yairo Munoz are being promoted from Triple-A to provide options at second base with Hernandez and Arroyo out.

Returns from IL The Red Sox reinstated Arroyo (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Rangers, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Arroyo will be available off the bench for the series finale after he recently wrapped up a three-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester. Before he sustained a left hamstring strain July 18 and landed on the IL a day later, Arroyo appeared poised to step into a large-side platoon role at first base, but he'll likely serve as a utility infielder now that he's healthy again. While Arroyo was on the shelf, the Red Sox acquired Kyle Schwarber, who's expected to take over as the team's primary first baseman once the hamstring and groin injuries he battled earlier in the season are further in the rear-view mirror.

Close to return Boston manager Alex Cora said he believes Arroyo (hamstring) is close to returning.
Impact Arroyo made three starts over the last four days for Triple-A Worcester and stole a base Thursday, indicating the hamstring injury is not an issue. "I think body-wise, the way he's moving, he's in a good spot," Cora said. He could return at some point during the weekend series against the Rangers.
