Spencer Arrighetti - Available out of bullpen Manager Joe Espada said Friday that Arrighetti (calf) will pitch out of the bullpen for the weekend series against the Guardians, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Arrighetti was pulled from his last start Sunday against the Angels due to calf cramping. While he won't return to the rotation for the final series of the regular season, the 24-year-old right-hander could see some work out of the bullpen for a game or two to test out his calf issue ahead of the postseason. In his 11 starts since the All-Star break, Arrighetti has a 3-6 record with a 3.30 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 74:18 K:BB across 62.2 innings.

Yusei Kikuchi - Tough-luck loser in quality start Kikuchi (9-10) took the loss Wednesday against Seattle, allowing two runs (zero earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out eight in six innings.
Impact Kikuchi was excellent Wednesday, shutting out the Mariners through five innings before an unfortunate error in the sixth resulted in two unearned runs crossing the plate, giving Kikuchi his first loss since being acquired by the Astros in late July. The 33-year-old veteran has been a revelation since coming over from Toronto at the All-Star break, posting a 5-1 record with an elite 2.70 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 76:14 K:BB in 60 innings (10 starts). The southpaw will close out the season with a 4.05 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and a career-best 206 strikeouts in 175.2 innings (32 starts).

Chas McCormick - Won't return this week McCormick (hand) will not accompany the Astros on their road trip to Cleveland this weekend, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact McCormick has been ramping back up his activities and will continue to work out back in Houston, but he will not return before the end of the regular season. The 29-year-old should still have a good shot to be ready in time for the ALDS. McCormick has put up a disappointing .577 OPS over 267 plate appearances in 2024, but he had gone 10-for-24 at the plate over his last eight games before fracturing his right hand in mid-September.

Yordan Alvarez - Ruled out through weekend Alvarez (knee) will not travel with the Astros to Cleveland for their series this weekend, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
