Arroyo was not optioned to the minors when Aaron Hill (forearm) was activated off the disabled list Friday.

There were rumblings of a possible demotion for the struggling rookie (.186/.236/.297), but it appears that he will remain in the majors to work out of his slump. It is unclear if Hill's return will eat into Arroyo's playing time, but the team is unlikely to keep him on the bench often as it could delay his development. The 21-year-old will have to show some life at the plate to avoid a demotion when Hunter Pence (hamstring) returns from the disabled list as early as next weekend, so he isn't out of the woods quite yet.
