Edwin Arroyo Done For The Season
9 months agoCincinnati Reds shortstop prospect Edwin Arroyo (shoulder), the team's No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline, had season-ending shoulder surgery on Wednesday to fix a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The 20-year-old injured the shoulder diving back to first base last week in a Cactus League game and will now miss all of 2024. It's a tough break for one of the team's top prospects after he went 6-for-17 with three RBI in spring training action. When he returns in 2025, Arroyo will most likely be ticketed for Double-A Chattanooga. The 6-foot switch-hitter hits balls hard to all fields and should develop more power as he matures, but his development is going to be put on hold this year. The Puerto Rican product hit .252/.324/.433 with 13 homers, 60 RBI and 29 steals in 123 games last year with High-A Dayton and Chattanooga.
