Spencer Arrighetti - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

Dealing with calf cramping Arrighetti said after Sunday's game against the Angels that his calf started cramping during the sixth inning, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Arrighetti alerted the coaching staff when he started to cramp, and manager Joe Espada made the call to shut the right-hander down. Arrighetti will undergo further testing on his calf, but if there's no lingering issue, his next projected start would take place on the road against the Guardians. The 24-year-old right-hander allowed two runs on five hits while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision Sunday

Takes low-scoring loss Arrighetti (7-13) allowed two runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings, taking the loss versus the Padres on Monday.

Impact Arrighetti allowed an RBI double to Manny Machado in the first inning and a solo home run to Jackson Merrill in the fourth. This was Arrighetti's third straight outing without a win, though he's limited opponents to two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. The rookie right-hander is now at a 4.68 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 161:62 K:BB through 136.2 innings over 27 starts. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Angels.

Bounces back with no-decision Arrighetti allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out seven over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Tuesday.

Impact Arrighetti gave up a run in each of the first two innings, including a solo home run to Zack Gelof, but he was able to settle in after that. This was a good bounce-back performance for Arrighetti after he failed to complete one inning in Cincinnati in his previous start. The rookie right-hander is now at a 4.72 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 158:61 K:BB through 131.2 innings over 26 starts this season, though he's allowed three or more runs just four times in his last nine starts. Arrighetti is projected to make his next start at San Diego with the Astros expected to use a six-man rotation this week.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Rough night vs. Reds Arrighetti (7-12) took the loss Wednesday against Cincinnati, allowing nine runs on six hits and three walks over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.

Impact After pitching to a 1.95 ERA with 47 strikeouts across five starts (32.1 innings) in August, Arrighetti got off to a brutal start in September, allowing a season-high nine runs while failing to make it out of the first inning. The rookie right-hander's ERA shot up to 5.26 with a 1.44 WHIP and 151:60 K:BB through 125 innings this season. Arrighetti will look to put Wednesday's effort behind him in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week at home against the A's.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Flirts with no-no, fans 11 Arrighetti (7-11) threw 7.2 scoreless innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing two hits and four walks while striking out 11.

Impact Arrighetti dominated a potent Phillies lineup, racking up 11 strikeouts and bringing a no-hitter into the eighth inning before an Austin Hays infield single broke up the bid. The 24-year-old has been on a tear in August, posting a robust 1.95 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 13.1 K/9 in 32.1 innings (five starts). Arrighetti has recorded three double-digit strikeout outings in August while lowering his ERA from 5.58 to 4.63. One of the hottest pitchers in baseball, Arrighetti will look to keep rolling in his next start, currently scheduled for next week in Cincinnati.

Bounces back with dominant win Arrighetti (6-11) notched the victory against Baltimore on Thursday, allowing three hits and issuing one walk while striking out six batters over six scoreless innings.

Impact Arrighetti began August with two excellent outings before stumbling with a 5.2-inning, four-run loss to the White Sox last Friday. The rookie bounced back with one of his best starts of the season Thursday, as he allowed just four total baserunners and retired the final eight batters he faced. Arrighetti also collected his fourth quality start over his past five outings, a span during which he has a 2.93 ERA and 44:8 K:BB across 30.2 frames.

He now owns a 5.20 ERA with a 134:52 K:BB through 110.2 innings this season. Arrighetti has thrown at least six innings in five of his last six outings. His next start is projected to be in Baltimore.

The rookie's 5.14 ERA and 1.45 WHIP are still unsightly, but he has logged four quality starts in his past five outings with a 43:9 K:BB across 31 innings. He'll try to keep the good times rolling in a favorable matchup against the White Sox next week.

Strikes out eight in loss Arrighetti (4-9) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Arrighetti produced a baseline quality start, but he faded late by giving up a solo shot to James Outman in the fifth inning and a two-run blast to Gavin Lux in the sixth. This was the first time in four starts Arrighetti was tagged for multiple home runs. On the bright side, he's gone at least six innings in four of his last six starts, and he's limited opponents to three runs or less in three of those games. The rookie right-hander is at a 5.58 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 104:47 K:BB through 92 innings over 19 starts this season. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Rays.

Goes six innings in loss Arrighetti (4-8) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three over six innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Athletics.

Impact Arrighetti avoided walking multiple batters for the first time in four starts, but the Athletics were able to get to him in the third and fourth innings. The 24-year-old right-hander has been more good than bad lately, allowing four or more runs in just three of his nine outings since the start of June. He's pitched to a 5.65 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 96:45 K:BB through 86 innings over 18 starts this season. Arrighetti's next start is projected to be a tough home matchup against the Dodgers.

Delivers quality start Saturday Arrighetti came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Rangers, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out seven.

Impact The rookie right-hander needed 85 pitches (53 strikes) to produce his third quality start of the season as he got locked in a pitchers' duel with Nathan Eovaldi. Arrighetti has had his moments, but he's been very erratic this season, and since the beginning of June he has only one win in eight outings with a 5.20 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB through 36.1 innings. Those numbers are good enough to keep him in the rotation coming out of the All-Star break, but Arrighetti could eventually lose his spot if Houston adds significant reinforcements to its staff, either from the injured list or at the trade deadline.
