Arroyo has tested positive for COVID-19, after he was previously placed on the injured list Friday after being identified as a close contact of the infected Enrique Hernandez and strength coach Kiyoshi Momose, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Boston is currently conducting tracing to identify if anyone else in the organization was a close contact of Arroyo, Hernandez or Momose, but for now, no other players are being placed on the COVID-19-related IL. Since he's been confirmed to have tested positive for the virus, Arroyo will be sidelined for at least 10 days. The absences of Hernandez and Arroyo should pave the way for Jonathan Arauz and Yairo Munoz to pick up most of the work at second base in the short term.
