Cody Bolton Lands on 15-Day Injured List With Back Inflammation
The Houston Astros placed right-hander Cody Bolton (back) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to April 13) on Wednesday with right mid-back inflammation, according to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart. For now, right-hander Spencer Arrighetti will come up from Triple-A Sugar Land to replace Bolton in Houston's starting rotation. With the Astros' rotation missing multiple starting arms, Arrighetti could stick around for a while if he pitches well. The 27-year-old Bolton left his last start early on Sunday against the Seattle Mariners with back tightness, and now he'll be forced to miss at least a couple turns through the rotation. In addition to Bolton, Hunter Brown, Cristian Javier, and Tatsuya Imai are all on the IL in Houston. When the dust settles and some of those pitchers start returning from their injuries, Bolton may not have a rotation spot to come back to, depending on when he heals up. Bolton had a 5.40 ERA and 1.68 WHIP with 11 K's and seven walks in 8 1/3 innings over three outings (two starts) before his injury, and he has a career 5.72 ERA and 1.79 WHIP in 50 1/3 major-league seasons since the start of 2023.
