Kohei Arihara Fantasy Stats

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara will be added to the team's 40-man roster and will be recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to start Tuesday's game against the Athletics, per Rangers Today's Jeff Wilson. The 30-year-old draws a favorable matchup, although he has compiled a lackluster 4.88 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 72 innings pitched at Triple-A this season. As such, fantasy managers should avoid him in daily leagues despite the good matchup.

The Texas Rangers designated starting pitcher Kohei Arihara for assignment on Sunday. He cleared waivers and he has now been outrighted to Triple-A Round Rock. The 29-year-old struggled in his first taste of the MLB this year, going 2-4 with a 6.64 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP over 10 starts. In his most recent start against the Houston Astros on September 15, he allowed eight hits and six earned runs over four innings. Arihara will remain in the Rangers organization for now and attempt to work his way back up to the big leagues.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara did not pitch well during Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros. He went four innings, eight hits allowed, six earned runs, and one strikeout in the 7-2 loss. Arihara gave up too early home runs and never settled into a groove. He'll take a rough 6.64 ERA and 1.43 WHIP into his next matchup versus the New York Yankees. Fantasy managers should continue to ignore Arihara for that contest.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara was surprisingly strong on the mound against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. He went 3 1/3 innings, one hit, one earned run, and three strikeouts in the 9-5 loss. He actually retired the first 10 batters he faced before allowing a solo home run to Brendan Rodgers. That was the last pitch Arihara threw in this game. Before this outing, Arihara made short rehab starts, so it makes sense that the Rangers limited him. He'll likely get a few more starts down the stretch, but won't have fantasy value tossing three or four innings.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara (shoulder) will make a rehab start with the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders on Sunday, the team announced on Twitter. Arihara has missed three months of the season after undergoing surgery to correct an aneurysm in his throwing shoulder back at the end of May. Arihara has struggled in his rookie season with Texas, going 2-3 with a 6.59 ERA, 1.535 WHIP and 13.4 percent strikeout rate over 28 2/3 innings of work. Managers in deeper formats might want to keep an eye out on how he does during this rehab assignment, in case he starts putting up better numbers now that the issue has been fixed, But more likely than not he can be left on the waiver wire in all formats.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara (shoulder) is expected to miss at least 12 weeks after undergoing surgery to correct an aneurysm in his throwing shoulder, according to Levi Weaver of The Athletic. Rangers general manager Chris Young said that the procedure is similar to that of thoracic outlet surgery, but not as severe. Arihara is expected to make a full recovery from this procedure, but the very earliest he would be able to return by is sometime between the end of August and middle of September. Outside of his two starts in which he earned the win, Arihara had struggled this season with a 6.59 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 28 2/3 innings of work. Between the struggles and the fact he's going to miss three months now, Arihara can safely be dropped in any leagues that he was being rostered in.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a contusion on his right middle finger, Rangers Executive Vice President of Communications John Blake announced on Twitter. Arihara has opened his MLB career this season by going 2-3 with a 6.59 ERA in seven starts, and in his last three starts Arihara has struggled even worse with a 17.28 ERA over 8 1/3 innings of work. In a corresponding move, the Rangers recalled outfielder Eli White from Triple-A Round Rock.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara (finger) may have his next start pushed back a day after receiving an injection on a callus on his middle finger, according to Levi Weaver of The Athletic. The team is hopeful that Arihara will only require one extra day of rest before his next start, but if he doesn't respond well he could have a stint on the injured list in his future. Over the first six starts of his career, Arihara is 2-3 with a 5.76 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 25 innings of work.

Texas Rangers pitcher Kohei Arihara allowed four home runs in a 6-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Friday. The Japanese right-hander allowed all six runs on four hits (all homers) in 2 2/3 innings of work. He also walked two batters and struck out just one. Arihara had previously allowed just two home runs in 22 1/3 innings. The most worrisome trend with the 28-year-old is that his command and control have disappeared. Over his last two starts (4 2/3 innings), he's allowed 10 hits and six walks with just one strikeout. It's possible that he's batting mechanical issues but Arihara may also be suffering through an ailment. His velocity was down a mile or two through the game.

Texas Rangers pitcher Kohei Arihara struggled with the cold weather in Chicago and lasted just two innings on Sunday. The Japanese hurler issued four walks in the first inning of the game. He gave up five runs on six hits and did not strike out a batter. Of the six hits allowed, three were for extra bases including a first-inning homer to Jose Abreu. Arihara was coming off a string of two starts where he had not allowed a run. The right-hander remains a decent bounce-back candidate next time out but his ability to miss bats has been hit-or-miss which makes him a modest fantasy option.
