Christian Arroyo Stats

The Boston Red Sox placed infielder Christian Arroyo (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a hamstring strain and activated utility man Danny Santana (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Arroyo injured himself while stretching for a ball on Sunday and is expected to miss more than 10 days. The 26-year-old has been having a fine season, hitting .271/.327/.465 with six home runs and 25 RBI, and he's worth stashing for infield depth in deep mixed and AL-only leagues. In his absence, we should see some combination of Kike Hernandez and Michael Chavis at the keystone. Hernandez won't help much in average or on-base percentage, but he has 11 home runs and 30 RBI and is the better bet for power production.

Boston Red Sox second baseman Christian Arroyo (hamstring) is most likely heading to the injured list after exiting Sunday's game due to a strained hamstring, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. Arroyo exited Sunday's game while stretching out to make a catch during his first career start at first base. This is disappointing news for fantasy managers, as Arroyo had been hitting well over his last 15 games with a .260 average, .788 OPS, three homers, 10 RBI and six runs scored. With Arroyo out, this will likely lead to more playing time for Jarren Duran, with Kike Hernandez likely seeing less time in the outfield and instead filling in for Arroyo at second base.

Boston Red Sox infielder Christian Arroyo (hamstring) exited the Sunday Night Baseball matchup against the Yankees. Arroyo suffered a hamstring strain while stretching to make a grab, an unfortunate development considering he was making his first career start at first base. The 26-year-old has been on a roll since returning from the 10-day injured list a few weeks ago, batting .310 to go along with nine hits, six RBI, and two homers, so fantasy managers are likely very concerned, and rightfully so. Bobby Dalbec replaced him, and more news regarding Arroyo's status moving ahead should come soon.
