Impact Arroyo was designated for assignment by Boston on Friday, and he'll remain in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. Over 66 games with the Red Sox this year, the 28-year-old has hit .241 with three homers, 24 RBI, 23 runs and a stolen base.

Designated for assignment Arroyo was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Friday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Luis Urias, acquired from the Brewers at Tuesday's trade deadline, is headed up to Boston in a corresponding roster move. Arroyo, 28, had batted just .241/.268/.369 with three home runs and 24 RBI through 66 games (206 plate appearances) this season for the Red Sox.

On bench Friday Arroyo is not in the lineup Friday at San Francisco.

Impact Justin Turner will make a second straight start at second base and might become more of a regular presence there for Boston down the stretch. Arroyo has slashed just .247/.276/.379 in 193 plate appearances when healthy this season.

Heads to bench Wednesday Arroyo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Though he faces one less competitor for reps at second base after the Red Sox traded Enrique Hernandez to the Dodgers on Tuesday, Arroyo may have only a loose hold on the primary role at the keystone. He'll give way to Justin Turner on Wednesday, and while Turner doesn't necessarily profile as a regular option at second base, the impending return of Trevor Story (elbow) from the injured list could prove more costly for Arroyo. Once activated, Story will take over as Boston's everyday shortstop, perhaps resulting in Yu Chang shifting to the keystone to potentially poach work from Arroyo.

Back in lineup Arroyo (thumb) is starting at second base Tuesday against Atlanta, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact A jammed right thumb has kept Arroyo out of the Red Sox's lineup for the past few days, but he'll return for Tuesday's game against Atlanta. With the departure of Enrique Hernandez to the Dodgers on Tuesday, Arroyo figures to face less competition for playing time at second base.

Dealing with jammed thumb Arroyo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets due to a jammed right thumb, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact He appeared to be losing playing to Enrique Hernandez at second base with three straight games on the bench, but manager Alex Cora revealed Arroyo has been dealing with a jammed thumb over the past few days. The 28-year-old could be available off the bench Sunday and will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus Atlanta.

Losing work to Hernandez Arroyo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Arroyo will take a seat versus the Mets' Carlos Carrasco, marking the third straight game in which the 28-year-old has been on the bench against a right-handed pitcher. Enrique Hernandez will get the nod at the keystone Sunday and appears to have overtaken Arroyo as the preferred option at the position.

Sitting Friday Arroyo will sit Friday versus the Mets, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact Arroyo will get a breather after he went 1-for-7 with a run and two strikeouts while starting two games during the team's series with Oakland. Justin Turner will start at second base and bat second in the series opener with New York.

JULY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Wednesday Arroyo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Arroyo went 2-for-16 with a double and a run while starting at the keystone in each of Boston's last four games. He'll give way to Enrique Hernandez in the series finale, but Arroyo still looks to be Boston's preferred second baseman.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Friday Arroyo isn't in the Red Sox's lineup Friday against the Cubs, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Despite ending the first half of the season on a six-game hitting streak, Arroyo will sit out the second-half opener Friday. Justin Turner will start at second base while Arroyo sits.

Impact Arroyo doubled in the fifth inning and came in on a Jarren Duran double then doubled in a run himself in the sixth to finish Boston's scoring. Arroyo and Enrique Hernandez are sharing second base for now, but Arroyo has been the more productive of the two at the plate. He currently has a five-game hit streak, during which he's 8-for-17 with two doubles, two RBI and four runs scored.

Sitting out Sunday Arroyo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Enrique Hernandez will check in at the keystone in place of Arroyo, who had started at the position in seven of the past eight games. Since turning in a five-hit performance June 20 against the Twins, Arroyo has gone just 4-for-28 over his past eight contests to drop his season-long batting average down to .234.
