Spencer Arrighetti Nearing Rehab Assignment
Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) is scheduled to report to Double-A Corpus Christi this week. He should start a rehab assignment in the coming days. Arrighetti threw a 35-pitch live batting practice session last Sunday and hasn't dealt with any issues since then. The Astros are targeting an August return for Arrighetti, who has been on the IL since April 7 with a broken right thumb. The 25-year-old made two starts before then - one a gem, the other a dud - and yielded six earned runs on four hits with 8:5 K:BB in 9 2/3 innings. As a rookie in 2024, Arrighetti pitched to a 4.53 ERA with an impressive 171 strikeouts in 145 frames. After a strong second half last season, Arrighetti entered this year as a potential breakout candidate and may be worth stashing as he draws closer to a return.
