Spencer Arrighetti Set to Face Live Hitters
Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) was scheduled to face hitters in live batting practice on Tuesday, reports Chandler Rome of The Athletic. This is the next step in his rehab process, following a 30-pitch side session this past Friday. It's been a long road back from a broken thumb he suffered in early April when he was hit by a ball during batting practice. The 25-year-old looked poised for a potential breakout season, after impressing during the final months of 2024 that led to him striking out 171 batters in 145 innings. While there isn't yet an official target date for his activation, a late July or early August return seems the most likely.
