Hitting eighth in MLB debut Arroyo will start at second base and bat eighth in his major-league debut Monday against the Royals.

Impact Arroyo was called up earlier Monday to take the roster spot of the injured Elly De La Cruz (hamstring). It will be Matt McLain sliding over to shortstop Monday to cover for Cruz, while Arroyo will settle in at McLain's old second-base spot. Arroyo earned a promotion after hitting .323/.383/.562 with 11 home runs and nine stolen bases for Louisville.

Moving up to majors The Reds recalled Arroyo from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Impact With Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) landing on the 10-day injured list, the Reds will bring the 22-year-old Arroyo aboard for his first taste of the big leagues. The switch-hitting infielder had received reps at three different positions during his time at Triple-A, but he'll likely settle in as the Reds' everyday shortstop for the duration of De La Cruz's stint on the shelf. Even before De La Cruz injured his hamstring in Sunday's 6-4 win over Atlanta, Arroyo had already been building a strong case for a promotion by slashing .323/.383/.562 with 11 home runs and nine stolen bases across 248 plate appearances. Arroyo is worthy of at least a cursory pickup in most fantasy leagues while a full-time role likely awaits him.

Getting look at third base Arroyo has started to get some reps at third base at Triple-A Louisville, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox19.com reports.

Impact Arroyo has always been known as a good fielding prospect, with his primary position still being second base. But the bat has been slow to come around, especially in terms of his power after a shoulder injury wiped out his 2024 campaign. So far at Triple-A he's enjoyed his best year at the plate, hitting .342/.408/.590 with eight homers in 189 plate appearances. Arroyo turns 23 in August, so it's not too late for him to make a major league impact someday.

Added to 40-man roster The Reds selected Arroyo's contract from Double-A Chattanooga on Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact Arroyo slashed .284/.345/.371 with three home runs and 12 stolen bases over 120 games with Chattanooga in 2025 after missing the 2024 campaign due to shoulder labrum surgery. The 22-year-old is now on the 40-man roster and could move up to Triple-A Louisville to begin the 2026 season.

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cut from big-league camp The Reds reassigned Arroyo to minor-league camp Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The 21-year-old Arroyo is coming off a lost 2024 season following surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, so it's no surprise that he's a relatively early cut by the Reds. Arroyo finished the 2023 campaign at Double-A Chattanooga and is likely headed back there to begin this season.

Tapped for AFL Arroyo (shoulder) will participate in the Arizona Fall League, MLB.com reports.

Impact Arroyo is starting a game progression at the Reds' spring complex in Goodyear (Ariz.) in advance of his participation in the AFL. The right-hander underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder during spring training.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Makes impression Arroyo has had a chance to play early in training camp due to injuries in the infield, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Arroyo has taken advantage of playing time with Jonathan India (foot) and Matt McLain (oblique) still working their way back to game action. And Noelvi Marte only recently returned injury. Arroyo, acquired along with Marte in the trade that sent Luis Castillo to Seattle, has flashed highlight-worthy defense at shortstop and has hit in a small sample size. The 20-year-old with 5-for-12 with two doubles, a stolen base, three RBI and more walks (three) than strikeouts (two).

MARCH 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strong finish at High-A Arroyo is slashing .293/.376/.508 with nine home runs, 24 steals and a 19.4 percent strikeout rate in his last 79 games for High-A Dayton.

Impact His season line (.257/.332/.444) and 116 wRC+ are strong for a good defensive infielder like Arroyo who didn't turn 20 until August, but he really came on strong over the final three-plus months of the season. The young switch hitter had a strong first full season in the Reds organization after getting traded from Seattle at last year's deadline in the Luis Castillo trade. Arroyo should head to Double-A next year as a 20-year-old.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy again at High-A Arroyo (hip) has gone 3-for-12 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and three runs in three games since being reinstated from High-A Dayton's 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Arroyo missed about a week and a half of action due to the left hip strain before returning to the Louisville lineup Tuesday. The 19-year-old switch-hitting infielder is in his first full season in the Cincinnati organization after he was part of the three-prospect package the Reds took back in a deal with Seattle for Luis Castillo at last summer's trade deadline.
