Who is Edwin Arroyo? Reds prospect starts at 2B, bats 8th in MLB debut

Edwin Arroyo, a 22-year-old infielder, is set to debut for the Cincinnati Reds at second base and bat eighth in the series opener against the Kansas City Royals at Great American Ball Park. The call-up comes after a season in Triple-A Louisville, where Arroyo hit .323 and collected 11 homers; he has appeared in 18 games at second, four at third, and 33 at short this season. The Reds promoted him after Elly De La Cruz was placed on the injured list. Arroyo is the Reds’ third-ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline.
