"We’re getting a chance to see some guys," Arroyo said, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "It’s not what you’d like to do, obviously, in a situation where you have all your guys rolling, but it was good to see Ryan get in there and mix it up."

Keeler was a product of Nazareth Academy in Chicago during his high school days.
