Boston Red Sox's Christian Arroyo likely heading to injured list after hurting hamstring in debut at first base: 'It's a tough one for us'

NEW YORK -- The Red Sox tried to get creative with infielder Christian Arroyo on Sunday night, giving him his career start at first base. The experiment did not last long. Arroyo, who had split time between second base, shortstop and third base in the first 134 games of his major-league career, injured his hamstring stretching on a potential double play ball in the third inning. As Arroyo tried to lengthen his stance to receive Kiké Hernández's throw on a Giancarlo Stanton grounder, he did a split that led to his immediate removal from the game.
