Spencer Arrighetti has Outing to Forget on Thursday
Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits (two homers allowed) while walking four and striking out five in 4 2/3 innings in his minor-league rehab start on Thursday for Triple-A Sugar Land against Triple-A Tacoma. It was Arrighetti's third rehab start, but first with Sugar Land. The 25-year-old threw 50 of his 79 pitches for strikes in the outing. Even though the results weren't pretty, the fact that he nearly threw 80 pitches means that Houston could activate Arrighetti from the 60-day injured list to make his next start in the big leagues for a rotation that needs the reinforcements. He would line up for a plus matchup against the Miami Marlins next week, too. He's been out since April 8 due to a freak right-thumb fracture, but Arrighetti should be fantasy relevant in mixed leagues the final two months.
