Cincinnati Reds evaluate Matt McLain and Edwin Arroyo for second base
Summary

The Cincinnati Reds are considering options for their second base position as the season progresses. Both Matt McLain and Edwin Arroyo have seen playing time, with Arroyo making a strong case for more starts after hitting.277 this season and displaying solid performance recently. McLain, who had a breakout season four years ago, currently holds a lower OPS than Arroyo and has struggled to maintain consistent hitting post-surgery. The Reds are in last place and face decisions that could impact both their immediate performance and future roster moves. Fans are invited to weigh in through a survey on who should be the regular second baseman going forward.
