Red Sox's Christian Arroyo: On bench Friday
Rotowire
Arroyo is not in the lineup Friday at San Francisco.
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, although the return of Trevor Story (elbow) figures to shuffle the Boston infield once again. Arroyo has slashed just .247/.276/.379 in 193 plate appearances when healthy this season.

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

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

Rotowire
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.
He appeared to be losing playing time 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.

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

Arroyo is not in Thursday's lineup against the Twins.

Red Sox's Christian Arroyo: Takes seat Sunday
Rotowire
Arroyo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Enrique Hernandez will get the starting nod at the keystone in the series finale, but Arroyo's playing-time outlook appears to have improved coming out of the weekend. With the Red Sox demoting Enmanuel Valdez to Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Arroyo no longer finds himself in the smaller side of a platoon and should have a path to playing second base on a more regular basis. Arroyo started each of the past three games, all of which came against right-handed pitching.

Red Sox's Christian Arroyo: Activated, in lineup Monday
Rotowire
The Red Sox reinstated Arroyo (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start at second base and bat ninth in the Red Sox's series finale versus the Rays.
Boston designated outfielder Raimel Tapia for assignment to open up room on the 26-man active roster for Arroyo, who recently wrapped up a six-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester. Now that he's healthy again, Arroyo will likely occupy the short side of a platoon at second base with Enmanuel Valdez.

Red Sox's Christian Arroyo: Weekend return uncertain
Rotowire
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Thursday that he's unsure if Arroyo (hamstring) will be activated this weekend, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Arroyo has already logged 15 plate appearances on a rehab stint with Triple-A Worcester and is slashing .357/.400/.429, but he apparently has a bit more proving to do on the farm. He's in the lineup again for Worcester on Thursday night. It's a right hamstring strain that has kept the 28-year-old infielder sidelined since May 7.
