Christian Arroyo Stats

Boston Red Sox outfielders Christian Arroyo and Jackie Bradley Jr. are expected to be on a strict platoon in right field, according to manager Alex Cora. On Friday, Bradley will bat eighth and play right field versus right-hander Gerrit Cole. That is obviously not an ideal matchup for Bradley, but no one is expected to do well off an elite talent like Cole. Nonetheless, it sounds like the Red Sox are sticking to a plan of using both Arroyo and Bradley in right field. Neither has much upside with the bat, so this sounds like a wait-and-see approach for fantasy managers.

Boston Red Sox second baseman Christian Arroyo (hand) will play shortstop on Friday in a spring game. Arroyo was scratched from the Grapefruit League game against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday with a sore right hand, but the injury is minor in nature. The 26-year-old should be fine for Opening Day unless he suffers a setback. With Xander Bogaerts entrenched at shortstop and new acquisition Trevor Story set to play second base in 2022, Arroyo will serve as a utility infielder in Boston. In 57 games (181 plate appearances) for the Red Sox last year, Arroyo hit .262/.324/.445 with a career-high six home runs, 25 RBI and 22 runs scored. You can ignore him in mixed fantasy leagues.

Boston Red Sox infielder Christian Arroyo knocked a two-run homer in Boston's 12-3 rout of the Houston Astros in Game 3 of the ALCS Monday. For the game he went 1-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored. Arroyo has recorded a hit in three straight games. Any offense from him is a bonus for the club, as Jose Iglesias was a major contributor down the stretch of the regular season but is ineligible for the playoffs. Arroyo is unlikely to be a fantasy priority in 2022.
