Arroyo will start at second base and bat eighth Wednesday in Game 5 of the Red Sox's ALCS matchup with the Astros, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

With Enrique Hernandez moving to center field on a more frequent basis during the postseason and Kyle Schwarber displacing Bobby Dalbec at first base, playing time has opened up for Arroyo at the keystone. Arroyo started in each of the first four games of the series, going 4-for-14 with a home run, a triple and three RBI.
