Homers in two straight Arroyo went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's spring game against the Twins.

Impact Arroyo has homered in each of his last two games and is angling for the final bench spot. He's 8-for-23 with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored in 10 Grapefruit League games.

Competing for roster spot Arroyo started at second base and went 1-for-2 and was caught stealing in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

Impact This was Arroyo's fourth spring game and second start at second base. He also started two contests at shortstop. He's on the roster bubble, competing for what appears to be the final spot with Michael Chavis.

In 14 games for Boston in 2020, Arroyo slashed .240/.296/.440 with three home runs and eight RBI.

Launches bomb Saturday Arroyo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rays.

Impact Arroyo made his fourth straight start at second base and should get most of the reps at the position after Boston optioned Jose Peraza to the alternate camp. "He won't be out there every single day, but most of the time," Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke told Ian Browne of MLB.com. "I think that's what we'd like to do is to give him an opportunity to see the good tools that everybody saw when he was drafted." A former first-round draft pick (2013) of the Giants, Arroyo posted an .846 OPS at the Triple-A level but has been unable to carry that to the majors.
