Red Sox's Christian Arroyo: Likely heading to injured list
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said after Sunday's loss to the Yankees that Arroyo (hamstring) will likely need to spend time on the injured list, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Arroyo was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain after he left Sunday's game, and it's not yet clear whether he'll need to spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the injured list. The injury comes at a tough time for Arroyo, who was set to move into a full-time role after Cora announced prior to the contest that the 26-year-old would displace Bobby Dalbec as the team's primary first baseman versus right-handed pitchers. If the Red Sox elect not to give the starting job back to Dalbec, Danny Santana (quadriceps) -- who is set to be activated from the IL on Monday -- could serve as the primary replacement for Arroyo at first base.
