The Red Sox recalled Arauz from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

He'll join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Christian Arroyo (hand), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Much like Arroyo, Arauz will serve as a utility infielder for Boston while's up with the big club.

The Red Sox placed Arroyo (hand) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Boston opted to shut Arroyo down after he failed to make much progress since he was removed from Wednesday's game against the Tigers when he was struck in the hand by a pitch. The Red Sox recalled Jonathan Arauz from Triple-A Worcester to serve as a utility infielder while Arroyo is sidelined.

Arroyo will remain out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles due to his sore left hand, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Arroyo isn't a regular in the Boston lineup, but his lingering hand injury may prompt manager Alex Cora to go away from him if a bench bat is needed at any point Sunday. Boston currently has infielder Jonathan Arauz on hand as a member of the taxi squad, and he would be the most likely candidate to join the active roster if Arroyo requires a stint on the 10-day injured list.

Castro went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's win over the Twins.

Castro has posted back-to-back three-hit games, and those two appearances have allowed him to leave a 3-for-20 slump in the rearview. The utility man is hitting .302 in 2021.

Lowe went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss against Oakland.

Lowe homered for the second time over his last three games, and the second baseman has been seeing the ball well of late -- he has at least one knock in seven of his last nine contests. That said, the strikeouts might be a concern with him -- he has struck out at least twice in five of his last six appearances. Lowe is hitting .270 (10-for-37) with three homers, six RBI, six runs scored and 14 strikeouts during that aforementioned nine-game stretch.

Semien went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Toronto's 8-4 win over the Astros on Saturday.

Semien homered off Joe Smith in the ninth inning to lengthen Toronto's lead. He has reached safely in his last 16 games and is batting .351 with four home runs, 12 RBI and 10 runs during that stretch. In addition, he and Bo Bichette lead the Blue Jays with eight home runs and six steals each. The 30-year-old is slashing .254/.326/.476 in 141 plate appearances.

Biggio went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and an additional run scored Saturday in Toronto's 8-4 win over the Astros.

Biggio homered off Cristian Javier in the second inning for his third long ball of the season. The 26-year-old has been inconsistent at the plate this year, but he's had his hottest stretch over the last six games, reaching base safely 10 times. He appears to be more patient at the plate, drawing two walks Saturday and not striking out in his last 16 plate appearances, lowering his strikeout rate to 29.7 percent.

Chavis went 1-for-6 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 11-6 win over the Orioles.

Seeing his first action since his promotion Friday, Chavis took Zac Lowther deep in the second inning for his first homer of the year. Chavis has slugged 24 home runs over 138 games during his MLB career, but he's also struck out 179 times including two whiffs Saturday, making him a volatile fantasy option while he's on the Red Sox roster.

Mendick started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's victory over the Royals.

The right-handed hitter smashed a two-run shot off Daniel Lynch in what was a blowout from the first inning on. This was his first appearance in the outfield, as manager Tony La Russa navigates injuries to Eloy Jimenez (pectoral), Luis Robert (hip) and Adam Engel (hamstring). It was the first homer for Mendick and he is now slashing .350/.500/.500 in his small sample.

Torres went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI in Saturday's win over Washington.

Both of Torres' hits were huge for the Yankees. He tied the game in the bottom of the ninth with an RBI single, then won it with a walkoff single in the bottom of the 11th, a perfectly placed mishit that didn't get past pitcher Tanner Rainey but was enough to get the run home.
