Aiming for middle of road trip Arroyo (hamstring) will not travel with the Red Sox for the start of their road trip this weekend but hopes to join them in the middle of the trip, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald...

Impact Arroyo has been going through workouts but needs to play in a rehab game or two before being activated. The Red Sox are in San Diego this weekend before then going to Anaheim and Arizona and it sounds like the goal is to get Arroyo back for one of the latter two stops.

Take batting practice Arroyo (hamstring) took some swings during Kutter Crawford's (hamstring) live batting practice session Saturday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Arroyo has been out for a week with a strained right hamstring. He isn't expected to be ready to return when first eligible Wednesday, but he appears to be trending in the right direction.

Needs more than 10 days Arroyo (hamstring) won't be ready to return when first eligible May 17, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Manager Alex Cora said that Arroyo is progressing well but it will probably take a few days longer than the minimum 10 days before he is activated. Pablo Reyes, whom the Red Sox just acquired from Oakland for cash, is starting at second base against southpaw Steven Matz on Saturday, while Enmanuel Valdez continues to handle the keystone work against righties.

Shelved with hamstring issue The Red Sox placed Arroyo on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right hamstring strain, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Though he'll go on the IL for the first time this season, Arroyo has been bothered by the injury since around the middle of April. Even though Arroyo is coming off a productive game in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Phillies in which he went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored, he may have aggravated the hamstring injury at some point during the contest. Arroyo's absence should give Enmanuel Valdez some further security as the Red Sox's preferred second baseman, at least against right-handed pitching. Boston recalled Bobby Dalbec from Triple-A Worcester to provide the team with another right-handed option in the infield.

Pops first homer of 2023 Arroyo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Getting the start at second base and batting seventh, Arroyo took Yusei Kikuchi deep in the second inning for his first homer of the year. The veteran infielder appears to have fallen to the short side of a platoon at the keystone with rookie Enmanuel Valdez getting regular work against right-handed pitching, and while Arroyo's tepid .246/.288/.348 slash line through 74 plate appearances doesn't make a strong case for more playing time, he does have six hits, five RBI and four runs in his last three starts.

Heads to bench Monday Arroyo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact While Enrique Hernandez was sidelined for the final two games of the Red Sox's weekend series with the Guardians, Arroyo started at shortstop in both contests and went 5-for-7 with a double, two walks, four RBI and three runs. Despite the big finish to the weekend, Arroyo will hit the bench Monday with Hernandez returning to action at shortstop and with rookie Enmanuel Valdez getting another turn at second base. Since Valdez is a left-handed hitter, the righty-hitting Arroyo could end up settling into a short-side platoon role at the keystone.

Has big weekend Arroyo went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Guardians.

Impact Arroyo, who's been battling a hamstring injury the last week, made a second consecutive start at shortstop for the injured Enrique Hernandez (ankle) and finished off a productive weekend. He went 5-for-7 with two walks, four RBI and three runs scored in wins Saturday and Sunday. Hernandez could return Monday, per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. If so, Arroyo could shift back to second base.

Gets another turn at shortstop Arroyo will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Guardians, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact After going 3-for-4 with a walk, two runs and two RBI in his return from a hamstring injury in Saturday's 8-7 win, Arroyo will get another start at shortstop for the series finale. Though Enrique Hernandez is eventually expected to reclaim a regular role at shortstop, Arroyo may still have a path to regular playing time at second base while all of Trevor Story (elbow), Adalberto Mondesi (knee) and Yu Chang (wrist) are several weeks away from returning from the injured list.

Returns to lineup Saturday Arroyo (hamstring) is back in the lineup Saturday against the Guardians.

Impact Arroyo will start at shortstop and bat eighth for the Red Sox after missing Friday's series opener due to a hamstring issue that has bothered him off and on over the last week. Enrique Hernandez is on the bench Saturday.

Not starting Friday Arroyo (hamstring) isn't in Boston's lineup Friday against the Guardians, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Arroyo didn't start Wednesday against Baltimore either, but he was able to enter the game as a pinch hitter and stay in at second base. He'll get another day to nurse his right hamstring Friday while Emmanuel Valdez starts at second base and bats ninth.

Enters game off bench Arroyo (hamstring) went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to Baltimore.

Impact Arroyo, who nursed a hamstring injury and was held out of the starting lineup, entered the game as a pinch hitter for starting second baseman Emmanuel Valdez and stayed in the game at the keystone. The Red Sox are off Thursday, and Arroyo is expected to be available when Boston kicks off a three-game set at Fenway Park with the Guardians.

APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Wednesday Arroyo (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Arroyo departed Tuesday's 8-6 win with right hamstring tightness, so it's not overly surprising that he'll sit out for a day game after a night game. The Red Sox described Arroyo's removal from the contest as precautionary, and at this stage, he appears on track to avoid a stint on the injured list. If he quickly moves past the hamstring issue, Arroyo could step back into an everyday role in the middle infield after Yu Chang (wrist) landed on the IL on Tuesday and is expected to miss the next six weeks.

Impact The infielder has been replaced by Enmanuel Valdez at second base. Arroyo has dealt with a hamstring injury for the majority of the year, and Boston won't take any chances with the 27-year-old. He should be considered day-to-day.

Re-enters starting nine Arroyo will start at second base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Arroyo recently missed time with a hamstring injury, but his absence from the lineup both of the past two days appear to be the result of him losing his hold on an everyday role. However, with Yu Chang suffering a left wrist injury in Monday's 5-4 loss and most likely bound for the injured list, Arroyo looks like he'll have an opportunity to reclaim a regular spot in the starting nine.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Riding pine again Monday Arroyo is absent from the Red Sox' lineup Monday against the Orioles, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Arroyo returned to the lineup Saturday after missing time with a hamstring injury but has now been on the bench the last two contests. There's no indication to this point that the hamstring might still be bothering him, so it appears manager Alex Cora is just preferring to roll with Enrique Hernandez at second base and Yu Chang at shortstop.
