Arroyo will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Since Elly De La Cruz returned from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and pushed Matt McLain off shortstop, Arroyo and McLain have been splitting time at the keystone. Arroyo has held a slight edge in playing time between the two, as he's started three games to McLain's two and will be in the lineup for a second straight day against a righty (Mitch Keller). Since being called up from Triple-A Louisville on June 1, Arroyo has produced a pedestrian .263/.328/.316 over 65 plate appearances, so he likely has more work to do to take firmer control of the second base gig.

Reds' Edwin Arroyo: Likely to lose playing time
Rotowire
Arroyo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Arroyo will take a seat for the second time in the series and appears set to move into a part-time role after Cincinnati welcomed Elly De La Cruz back from the injured list Tuesday. With De La Cruz sliding back into an everyday role at shortstop, Matt McLain is likely to be prioritized at second base ahead of Arroyo, who is hitting .226 with no home runs or steals in 19 games since being promoted from Triple-A Louisville on June 1.

Reds' Edwin Arroyo: On bench Monday
Rotowire
Arroyo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
The Reds will go with Spencer Steer and Matt McLain as their starters in the middle infield while Arroyo retreats to the bench for the series opener. Since being promoted from Triple-A Louisville on June 1, Arroyo has struggled to produce in a near-everyday role, slashing .240/.304/.280 with zero home runs or stolen bases across 56 plate appearances. With Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) expected to return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Arroyo could wind up heading back to Louisville in a corresponding move.

Reds' Edwin Arroyo: Taking seat Wednesday
Rotowire
Arroyo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Since being called up from Triple-A Louisville on June 1, Arroyo has started in six of the Reds' ensuing nine games but hasn't gotten going at the plate. Spencer Steer will get the nod at second base Wednesday over Arroyo, who has begun his big-league career by going 5-for-22 (.227 average) with no extra-base hits and a 2:9 BB:K. He'll need to raise his production if he hopes to stick around with the big club once Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) is ready to return from the injured list.

Reds' Edwin Arroyo: Hitting eighth in MLB debut
Rotowire
Arroyo will start at second base and bat eighth in his major-league debut Monday against the Royals.
Arroyo was called up earlier Monday to take the roster spot of the injured Elly De La Cruz (hamstring). It will be Matt McLain sliding over to shortstop Monday to cover for Cruz, while Arroyo will settle in at McLain's old second-base spot. Arroyo earned a promotion after hitting .323/.383/.562 with 11 home runs and nine stolen bases for Louisville.

Reds' Edwin Arroyo: Moving up to majors
Rotowire
The Reds recalled Arroyo from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.
With Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) landing on the 10-day injured list, the Reds will bring the 22-year-old Arroyo aboard for his first taste of the big leagues. The switch-hitting infielder had received reps at three different positions during his time at Triple-A, but he'll likely settle in as the Reds' everyday shortstop for the duration of De La Cruz's stint on the shelf. Even before De La Cruz injured his hamstring in Sunday's 6-4 win over Atlanta, Arroyo had already been building a strong case for a promotion by slashing .323/.383/.562 with 11 home runs and nine stolen bases across 248 plate appearances for Louisville. Arroyo is worthy of at least a cursory pickup in most fantasy leagues while a full-time role likely awaits him.

Reds' Edwin Arroyo: Getting look at third base
Rotowire
Arroyo has started to get some reps at third base at Triple-A Louisville, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox19.com reports.
Arroyo has always been known as a good fielding prospect, with his primary position still being second base. But the bat has been slow to come around, especially in terms of his power after a shoulder injury wiped out his 2024 campaign. So far at Triple-A this season he's enjoying his best year at the plate, hitting .342/.408/.590 with eight homers in 189 plate appearances. Arroyo turns 23 in August, so he still has plenty of time to develop into his tools.

The Reds selected Arroyo's contract from Double-A Chattanooga on Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Arroyo slashed .284/.345/.371 with three home runs and 12 stolen bases over 120 games with Chattanooga in 2025 after missing the 2024 campaign due to shoulder labrum surgery. The 22-year-old is now on the 40-man roster and could move up to Triple-A Louisville to begin the 2026 season.

Reds' Edwin Arroyo: Cut from big-league camp
Rotowire
The Reds reassigned Arroyo to minor-league camp Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The 21-year-old Arroyo is coming off a lost 2024 season following surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, so it's no surprise that he's a relatively early cut by the Reds. Arroyo finished the 2023 campaign at Double-A Chattanooga and is likely headed back there to begin this season.

Reds' Edwin Arroyo: Will miss 2024 season
Rotowire
Arroyo underwent surgery to repair his torn left labrum Wednesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Arroyo hurt his shoulder diving back to first base during a Cactus League game last week, and his injury will ultimately cost him the entire 2024 campaign. The 20-year-old prospect went 6-for-17 with three RBI during spring training and was expected to begin the season with Double-A Chattanooga, but he will instead spend the year recovering from surgery and aim to return in 2025.

Reds' Edwin Arroyo: Makes positive impression
Rotowire
Arroyo has taken advantage of infield injuries to play early in training camp, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Arroyo is getting playing time due to Jonathan India (foot) and Matt McLain (oblique) still working their way back to game action. Noelvi Marte only recently returned from injury. Arroyo, acquired along with Marte in the trade that sent Luis Castillo to Seattle, has flashed highlight-worthy defense at shortstop. The 20-year-old is 5-for-12 with two doubles, a stolen base, three RBI and more walks (three) than strikeouts (two).

Reds' Edwin Arroyo: Strong finish at High-A
Rotowire
Arroyo is slashing .293/.376/.508 with nine home runs, 24 steals and a 19.4 percent strikeout rate in his last 79 games for High-A Dayton.
His season line (.257/.332/.444) and 116 wRC+ are strong for a good defensive infielder like Arroyo, who didn't turn 20 until August, but he really came on strong over the final three-plus months of the season. The young switch hitter had a strong first full season in the Reds organization after getting traded from Seattle at last year's deadline in the Luis Castillo trade. Arroyo should head to Double-A next year as a 20-year-old.

Rotowire
Arroyo (hip) has gone 3-for-12 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and three runs in three games since being reinstated from High-A Dayton's 7-day injured list Tuesday.
Arroyo missed about a week and a half of action due to the left hip strain before returning to the Louisville lineup Tuesday. The 19-year-old switch-hitting infielder is in his first full season in the Cincinnati organization after he was part of the three-prospect package the Reds took back in a deal with Seattle for Luis Castillo at last summer's trade deadline.

Reds' Edwin Arroyo: Placed on minor-league IL
Rotowire
High-A Dayton placed Arroyo on its 7-day injured list Wednesday with a left hip strain.
Arroyo suffered the injury Saturday and will now be out through at least the end of the week. Cincinnati acquired the infielder in the 2021 deal that sent Luis Castillo to Seattle, and Arroyo has since established himself as one of the top prospects in the Reds organization as a plus defender with some offensive upside.
