Spencer Arrighetti Close to Rehab Assignment
Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) could begin a rehab assignment in seven to 10 days, according to Astros general manager Dana Brown. Brown said that Arrighetti has resumed throwing live batting practice sessions and could start his rehab assignment soon. The 25-year-old made just two starts before being placed on the injured list in April with a fractured right thumb. He will likely need multiple outings to build up his pitch count before he would be cleared to rejoin the Astros rotation. Fantasy managers with an IL spot should continue to stash Arrighetti as he could return to the Astros at some point in early to mid-August.
