Arroyo Okay

After looking simply awful in his previous spring outings, Arroyo posted his first encouraging outing Sunday and lowered his ERA by more than 7 runs. Arroyo pitched 5 clean scoreless innings, scattering just 4 hits throughout. This was the first outing for Arroyo that Varitek caught. After the outing Arroyo stated he would be fine with starting the season in the bullpen.
