Christian Arroyo rejoins Red Sox, Raimel Tapia DFA’d

Ahead of their game against the Rays on Monday, the Red Sox activated Christian Arroyo from the injured list.

The second baseman had been out since May 6 with a hamstring strain, and went 1-for-2 with a double in his first game back.

Before his IL stint, Arroyo was one of Boston’s hottest hitters.

In his 11 previous games, the 28-year-old hit .458 with eight RBIs and nine runs.

Over that same stretch, the Red Sox were also winning, going 8-3. Since Arroyo’s injury, however, Boston has struggled to stack up wins.

Boston is just 9-15 since May 6, including its 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Monday.
