Bats leadoff in win Arroyo started at second base, batted leadoff and went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.
Impact Arroyo took over the leadoff spot with Tommy Pham unavailable due to a sore back. He's getting plenty of playing time at second base with Trevor Story (wrist) idle and taking advantage. Saturday's three-hit effort was the third in his last four games, raising the backup utility player's line to .397/.429/.548 over 19 games since coming off the injured list. Story has taken batting practice and is on the road trip with Boston, but the team has not yet divulged a timeline for his return.

Drives in runs during victory Arroyo went 3-for-5 with one double, three RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's victory over Pittsburgh.
Impact Arroyo tied the game at two with a two-run double off righty starter Roansy Contreras in the second and later tacked on another RBI on a single off righty reliever Yohan Ramirez. The second baseman has been feeling it of late with a .381 batting average and .958 OPS in 63 at-bats over his last 17 games; however, the 27-year-old has only recorded four walks during that span.

Gains foothold as regular at 2B Arroyo will pick up his 10th straight start at second base Wednesday in Pittsburgh and will bat seventh, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Impact Boston reinstated Enrique Hernandez and Rob Refsnyder from the injured list Tuesday, but neither player's arrival looks like it'll change Arroyo's standing as Boston's top second baseman for the time being. Refsnyder is expected to serve as a short-side platoon option for the Red Sox, while Hernandez is likely to replace the struggling Jarren Duran as the team's top center fielder. Arroyo has earned a regular spot in the lineup by slashing .333/.371/.485 over his last nine games, but his time as an everyday player could end as soon as Trevor Story (wrist) is activated from the IL. Story joined the Red Sox for the road series in Pittsburgh, a sign that he could soon be ready to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Two extra base hits in loss Arroyo went 2-for-5 with one double, one homer, three RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-innings loss against Atlanta.
Impact Arroyo was one of the bright spots for Boston on Tuesday as he showed off his power with a two-run home run off of Charlie Morton in the second inning and a double off of Morton in the fourth. He has now hit safely in eight of nine games since returning from the IL, improving his slash to .273/.321/.433 in the process. While the hot streak may seem like a fluke, Arroyo has been underperforming almost all season with his xBA of .278 and xSLG of .450, so this could just be positive regression for the infielder.

Racks up three hits Arroyo went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Royals.
Impact Arroyo has gone 12-for-25 (.480) in seven games since he returned from a groin injury. He's started in all but one contest since his return, and the hot bat likely has something to do with that. Through 154 plate appearances, Arroyo has a .270/.320/.411 slash line with four home runs, 13 RBI, 18 runs scored, three stolen bases, six doubles and a triple. He should maintain the inside edge for playing time at the keystone until Trevor Story (wrist) rejoins the lineup.

Starts second straight game Arroyo will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Brewers, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Arroyo returned from the 10-day injured list to start at second base in Saturday's 9-4 loss, going 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored. He'll be in the starting nine again for a second straight day at a different position, but it's worth noting that the Brewers brought left-handed pitchers to the hill for both of the final two games of the series. Even so, Arroyo could still have a path to a regular spot in the infield against right-handed pitching for the foreseeable future, as top second baseman Trevor Story (wrist) will miss at least two more weeks while he recovers from a hairline fracture.

Impact Arroyo began a rehab assignment at Double-A Portland on Wednesday and went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a run, a stolen base and two walks over two games. He's starting at the keystone and batting seventh against the Brewers on Saturday and should serve as the primary second baseman while Trevor Story (hand) remains sidelined.
