Impact Arroyo stayed in Sunday's game against the Mariners after he was hit by a pitch in his first at-bat of the contest. He underwent scans after the game as a precaution, but his X-rays revealed no structural damage.

Impact Arroyo was examined by a trainer after he was hit by the pitch in his first at-bat of the day, but he stayed in the contest and played all nine innings in the series finale. If the X-rays reveal no structural damage to Arroyo's hand, he could be available for the start of the Red Sox's two-game series with the Mets on Tuesday.

Slots in at leadoff Arroyo batted leadoff and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Arroyo was in the leadoff spot for the third time this season. Typically, Enrique Hernandez tops Boston's batting order, but he was given the day off Saturday. Arroyo, who has worked his way from backup utility infielder into a semi-regular role at second base, is hitless in his last eight at-bats.

Picks up three hits Arroyo went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Arroyo started at second base with Alex Verdugo resting, which caused Enrique Hernandez to shift to the outfield. He took advantage of the opportunity, recording his third multi-hit game of the season. Overall, he's hitting .357/.386/.524 with six runs scored and three RBI across 44 plate appearances, though he'll likely have a hard time finding regular at-bats when Boston's lineup is at full strength.

Bogaerts' 3-run HR, Rodriguez lift BoSox over Blue Jays 4-2

Enters starting nine Arroyo (foot) will start at second base and bat second Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Though Arroyo wasn't forced to exit the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the White Sox, he appeared to be in pain after fouling a ball off his foot earlier in the contest. He went unused in Monday's 11-4 win, but he looks like he'll be good to go as the Red Sox open a two-game set with the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Arroyo will be entering the lineup as an indirect replacement for Alex Verdugo, covering the keystone while Enrique Hernandez moves to center field.

Impact Arroyo appeared to be in pain after fouling a ball off his foot during an at-bat, but he stayed in the game and finished 1-for-3 while playing all seven innings. The fact that Arroyo wasn't removed from the contest suggests the Red Sox don't have much concern about his health, and it's possible the team planned to hold him out of the lineup for the second game of the doubleheader anyway. He can be viewed as day-to-day until he rejoins the starting nine.

Providing value Arroyo went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Arroyo has hit safely in eight of 10 games, going 10-for-32 (.313) with six doubles to start the season. He's giving manager Alex Cora flexibility without any drop off in offense. Arroyo can spell Xander Bogaerts at shortstop but has primarily played second base while Enrique Hernandez is deployed in center field.

Reaches base twice Wednesday Arroyo went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Impact Arroyo made his presence felt at the top of the order in the first game of Wednesday's twin-bill and reached base twice while plating Franchy Cordero with an RBI single in the top of the second inning. The third baseman has hit safely in all but one of his games this season while racking up five extra-base hits over his last seven contests.

Receives look in leadoff spot Arroyo will start at second base and bat leadoff in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Twins, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact With Enrique Hernandez resting for the front end of the twin bill, Arroyo will get his first look of the season to hit out of the leadoff spot. Manager Alex Cora is rewarding Arroyo with the leadoff opportunity after he went 2-for-3 with a double and two runs in Tuesday's 4-2 win. Arroyo has now started in five of the Red Sox's last six games.

Returns to bench Arroyo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Arroyo had started each of the previous four games at second base, recording three hits -- all doubles -- in 17 at-bats over that span. Hunter Renfroe's (general soreness) absence throughout the series in Baltimore has indirectly helped Arroyo pick up playing time, as primary second baseman Enrique Hernandez has been able to make starts in the outfield in place of Renfroe. Assuming Boston is back to full strength for Monday's series opener in Minnesota, however, Arroyo's pathway to regular work will likely close.

Starts at 2B, leads off Arroyo batted lead off and went 1-for-6 with a run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Rays.

Impact Arroyo made his second start of the season, both at second base in place of Enrique Hernandez, but this was the first time he batted leadoff. Hernandez, Boston's primary second baseman who started in center field when Arroyo made his first start, got his first night off after opening the season 2-for-15 as Boston's leadoff hitter.

Earns roster spot Arroyo secured a spot Tuesday on Boston's Opening Day roster, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact Arroyo won the battle for the remaining reserve infield job over Michael Chavis, who was optioned to the Red Sox's alternate site Tuesday. Marwin Gonzalez will likely be first in line to enter the starting nine should a regular infielder go down with an injury, so Arroyo doesn't appear set to earn much playing time early on during the season.
