Spencer Arrighetti Fantasy Stats

Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti (elbow) is scheduled to get a second opinion on his elbow later this week. It was announced last week that Arrighetti wouldn't require surgery on his injured elbow. It sounds like he'll avoid surgery, but the course of treatment seems unclear at the moment. Arrighetti hasn't pitched this month and is not expected to be back before the end of the regular season. The hope is that Arrighetti is ready for the beginning of the 2026 campaign. At this point, it seems safe for fantasy managers to drop Arrighetti and get another arm to help them.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti (elbow) will miss the rest of the regular season, but will avoid having surgery. Arrighetti underwent an MRI which revealed that his UCL is intact. That means, Arrighetti won't require elbow surgery, but he will miss the rest of the season.The expectation is that Arrighetti will be ready for the beginning of spring training. He'll finish the 2025 season with a 5.35 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and a 31/20 K/BB ratio across seven starts with the Astros. Fantasy managers can safely drop Arrighetti in redraft formats.

Houston Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti (elbow) is unlikely to return during the regular season, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. The Astros are awaiting the results of an MRI after placing Arrighetti on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation on Wednesday. Manager Joe Espada revealed Thursday that the team is "going to have to shut (him) down for a bit," which means Arrighetti won't have enough time to return this month. It'll go down as an injury-ravaged regular season for Arrighetti, who was out from early April through early August with a fractured right thumb. He made seven starts this year and went 1-5 with a 5.35 ERA, a 1.42 WHIP, 31 strikeouts, and 20 walks in 35 1/3 innings. The Astros have yet to announce who will start in Arrighetti's place on Friday against the Texas Rangers.

The Houston Astros announced that they have placed right-hander Spencer Arrighetti (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation, retroactive to Aug. 31. In corresponding moves, the team selected the contract of righty Jayden Murray and transferred lefty John Rooney (elbow) to the 60-day IL. This is the second IL stint of the year for Arrighetti, who suffered a broken thumb in early April and didn't return until Aug. 6. The 25-year-old has made seven starts this season and gone 1-5 with a 5.35 ERA, a 1.42 WHIP, and 31:20 K:BB in 35 1/3 innings. While those numbers aren't pretty, Arrighetti did combine for 12 innings of three-run ball in his two most recent starts. The Astros will now have to go without him until at least mid-September.

Houston Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti came off the injured list to make his first start since April 5 on Wednesday. It didn't go well. Facing the Miami Marlins, Arrighetti fell to 1-2 after coughing up five earned runs on a whopping 11 hits over 3 2/3 innings in a 6-4 loss. He threw 88 pitches (56 for strikes) and posted five strikeouts against one walk in his return from a thumb injury that shelved him for four months. The 25-year-old has made three starts this season and notched a 7.42 ERA (4.69 FIP) with a 1.58 WHIP, 13 strikeouts, and six walks in 13 1/3 frames. Arrighetti is scheduled to get the ball again on Tuesday, but he's in for a challenge with the Boston Red Sox coming to town.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) is set to rejoin the big-league team and will start Wednesday's game against the Marlins, per Julia Morales. Arrighetti has been on the injured list since early April with a fractured thumb. The 25-year-old did not look great in his three rehab starts across Double-A Corpus Christi and Triple-A Sugar Land, compiling a 5.73 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. However, he showed some fantasy promise in 2024, going 7-13 with a 4.53 ERA, a 1.41 WHIP, and a 27.1% strikeout rate in 145 innings pitched. Arrighetti only covered 11 IP in his three rehab starts, so fantasy managers should not be surprised if his pitch count is kept in check on Wednesday. The Marlins have hit well lately and Arrighetti's rehab production wasn't great, so fantasy managers may not want to slot him into their lineups right away.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) is reportedly in position to make his next start at the MLB level, according to manager Joe Espada. Arrighetti has been sidelined since early April after suffering a fractured thumb. The right-hander made three rehab appearances, which included getting knocked around for five earned runs on Thursday. There's a good chance that Arrighetti is ready to pitch during the upcoming series against the Miami Marlins. If available, fantasy managers should scoop up Arrighetti before it's too late.

Houston Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits (two homers allowed) while walking four and striking out five in 4 2/3 innings in his minor-league rehab start on Thursday for Triple-A Sugar Land against Triple-A Tacoma. It was Arrighetti's third rehab start, but first with Sugar Land. The 25-year-old threw 50 of his 79 pitches for strikes in the outing. Even though the results weren't pretty, the fact that he nearly threw 80 pitches means that Houston could activate Arrighetti from the 60-day injured list to make his next start in the big leagues for a rotation that needs the reinforcements. He would line up for a plus matchup against the Miami Marlins next week, too. He's been out since April 8 due to a freak right-thumb fracture, but Arrighetti should be fantasy relevant in mixed leagues the final two months.

Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown said that right-hander Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) will make another minor-league rehab start, and if it goes well, he's expected to come off the injured list and rejoin the big-league club. Arrighetti threw 62 pitches in his latest rehab start on Saturday with Double-A Corpus Christi and allowed three runs (two earned) while walking one and striking out two in 3 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old wasn't all that sharp, so the Astros will give him another game on the farm to tighten things up and also lengthen out. When Arrighetti is cleared to rejoin the big leagues, he should immediately jump right back into the starting rotation and be relevant in mixed fantasy leagues. The former sixth-rounder made only two starts before his injury and wasn't exactly sharp with six earned runs allowed in 9 2/3 frames.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) made his second rehab appearance with Double-A Corpus Christi on Friday. The right-hander threw 62 pitches over 3 1/3 innings, allowing four hits and two earned runs while walking one and striking out two. Arrighetti has been on the injured list since early April after getting struck on the thumb by a ball during pre-game batting practice. Houston is eagerly awaiting his return, as they've dealt with significant turnover in their starting rotation behind their two aces, Hunter Brown and Framber Valdez. Arrighetti was 7-13 with a 4.53 ERA in 145 innings in 2024, but he struck out 171 batters (27.1% K rate). He'll likely need at least one more rehab outing, but Arrighetti appears to be on track to rejoin the Astros in early to mid-August.
