Reds Promote Top Infield Prospect Edwin Arroyo, Viewed as Priority Pick Up Ahead of MLB Debut
The Cincinnati Reds are promoting top infield prospect Edwin Arroyo to the major leagues. In a corresponding move, the Reds are placing superstar shortstop Elly De La Cruz on the 10-day injured list with a right-hamstring injury. Arroyo currently stands as MLB.com's No. 98-ranked prospect and is viewed as the team's No. 3 prospect. Arroyo has enjoyed a dominant start to the Triple-A regular season and is expected to see a major role in his first taste of the major leagues. With Triple-A, the infielder has posted an impressive .323/.383/.562 line with a stellar .945 OPS. During this 53-game stretch, Arroyo hit nine doubles, 11 home runs, and swiped nine bags. With De La Cruz now on the injured list, Arroyo should see near every day at-bats in this offense. His five-category potential makes him a priority target in all standard leagues.
