Arrighetti shouldn’t have any limitations at the outset of camp after managing to avoid surgery after additional imaging didn’t reveal any UCL damage. The 25-year-old former top prospect was limited to just seven starts this past season due to elbow inflammation and a fractured thumb. He’ll be an interesting late-round lottery ticket in fantasy drafts next spring since he’s a virtual lock to have a spot in Houston’s rotation.

Arrighetti told reporters over the weekend that he isn’t dealing with an UCL damage in his right elbow and believes he’ll avoid surgery. The second opinion seems to be precautionary in nature to confirm his initial diagnosis. There should be a definitive update on his status at some point before the regular season wraps up.

While the 25-year-old hurler will still miss the remainder of the season with inflammation in his right elbow, it’s encouraging that he won’t need to go under the knife. He should be fully recovered and ready to rock for the start of spring training.

This came out of nowhere. Arrighetti was scheduled to take the ball for Friday’s series opener against the Rangers. That’s no longer happening. There’s a strong possibility his season is over given the nature of the injury and the greater concern here is that he’ll wind up missing time next season as well. There should be a definitive update on his status at some point in the coming days.

Arrighetti issued five walks, but they didn’t hurt. The lone run he allowed came on the lone hit he allowed; a Zach Neto homer in the third inning. Arrighetti fanned eight after never striking out more than five in any of his first six starts. Because he left a tie game, he avoided what could have been a sixth straight loss since coming off the IL. His ERA stands at 5.35 as he prepares to face the Rangers next weekend.

The Astros did score one run while Arrighetti was in the game today, an improvement over his previous two starts. Arrighetti was successful despite generating just three misses on 47 swings and 97 pitches. With a 6.52 ERA and a 15/10 K/BB in 19 1/3 innings over four starts since coming off the IL. he hasn’t provided much reason to think he’ll be useful in mixed leagues down the stretch. He’ll face the Angels next weekend.

Arrighetti loaded the bases with none out in the second, but he pitched out of it without any damage, and he was behind just 1-0 on a Wenceel Pérez homer heading into the fifth. However, with one out in that frame, he gave up a double, a walk, a triple, a homer, a walk and a single consecutively. He only got out the inning because a Dillon Dingler liner was caught on a dive by Carlos Correa and turned into an easy double play. Arrighetti has given up 13 earned runs over 13 2/3 innings in his three starts since coming off the injured list. Those hoping he’d offer some mixed league value probably ought to move on.

Arrighetti worked around two walks in the first inning, then walked two more to load the bases in the third. A hit batter and a sacrifice fly put two runs on the board for the Red Sox. Arrighetti tossed two more scoreless frames, giving up just one hit while issuing five walks. The 25-year-old right-hander will look to clean up the walks when he takes on the Tigers in Detroit on Monday.

This was not the return from the injured list Arrighetti envisioned. After his offense spotted him a two-run lead before taking the mound, Arrighetti allowed hits to six of the first seven batters he faced to give that lead right back up. The Marlins pushed another run across in each of the next two frames before being yanked in the fourth with another runner in scoring position. He didn’t have the same feel for his secondaries that made him so successful over the second half of last season and the hope is that he can find that consistency as he makes a few more starts. His next chance to get right will come at home against the Red Sox.

Arrighetti is facing the Marlins today after missing four months with a fractured thumb. His velocity was down about two mph in his last rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land, so we’d be pretty nervous about using him out of the gate here. However, he might have some extra adrenaline in his first major league start since Apr. 5.

The widely-held expectation was that Arrighetti would start on Tuesday night, but Jason Alexander’s strong outing on Monday evening enables Houston to roll with a bullpen game instead. The 25-year-old righty will be activated from the injured list to start Wednesday’s series finale.

It’ll be Jason Alexander taking the ball on Monday night before the Astros bring Arrighetti back for his first big-league outing since April 5. The 25-year-old has been on the shelf for nearly four months after suffering a fractured right thumb during a freak accident during on-field batting practice.

Espada added that Cristian Javier (elbow) will need at least one additional rehab start before he’s ready to return. The club hasn’t nailed down exactly when Arrightetti will take the ball, but it should be at some point during a three-game series against Miami, which gets underway on Monday.

The 25-year-old right-hander has been shelved since early April after suffering a fractured thumb when he was struck by a ball on the field during batting practice. It couldn’t come at a better time for the Astros as they currently have a pair of vacancies in their rotation that they’re looking to fill. Fantasy managers in deeper league should pounce if Arrighetti is still hanging around on the waiver wire.

Arrighetti looked good in his last start on Saturday and will likely move to Triple-A Sugar Land to make his final start on Thursday or Friday. He will return to Houston after that and join a team in the middle of the pennant race. He should be added in all formats ahead of his return. Brown also noted that Cristian Javier (elbow) will be “shortly after” Arrighetti, so we could be looking at a two-week wait until Javier returns to Houston.

Arrighetti allowed just one baserunner and needed just 43 pitches (29 strikes) to twirl three frames in his latest rehab outing. The 25-year-old righty has been out since early April after suffering a fractured right thumb during a freak accident during on-field batting practice. He’ll need a couple additional rehab outings to continue building up his pitch count and stamina, but should be ready to return at some point in early-to-mid August.

Arrighetti will throw 45-50 pitches in his first rehab start since fracturing his thumb in early April. He’ll likely need to make multiple rehab starts before being a candidate to rejoin the Astros’ rotation in the middle of August.

The 25-year-old hurler has been shelved since early April when he fractured his thumb during a freak accident during batting practice. He has been throwing bullpen sessions without issue and it sounds like he’ll return to live game action shortly. He’ll probably need two or three tune-ups in the minor leagues before he’s an option to return to the Astros’ rotation, but that time is coming soon.

Arrighetti suffered a fractured thumb during a freak accident during pregame batting practice back in early April. The 25-year-old righty should progress to facing hitters in the near future, which would put him in line to kick off a rehab assignment at some point in July.

Arrighetti was supposed to throw off the mound last week, but did not. If he does throw off the mound on Tuesday, it would be his first side session since breaking his thumb back at the beginning of the season. At this point, we may not see Arighetti in Houston until early August.

Arrighetti has been throwing bullpens for a couple of weeks, so this mound work could be the last step before he faces live hitters in the Florida Complex League. Once he does that, he’d begin a lengthy rehab, which still means it’s unlikely he returns before the middle of July.

Nothing has changed in the prognosis for the 25-year-old hurler, this was done merely as a procedural move to clear a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for the arrival of Luis Guillorme and Cooper Hummel on Saturday. Arrighetti continues to progress in his recovery from a fractured thumb and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session next week.

Arrighetti suffered a fractured thumb during a freak accident during on-field batting practice back in early April and could return to Houston’s injury-ravaged rotation at some point in the next few weeks. The 25-year-old righty is going to need a handful of rehab outings to build up his pitch count and stamina, but there’s a chance he’s back at some point in July.

Arrighetti has been on the injured list since early in April when he fractured his thumb after being hit by a line drive. Since then, the Astros have also lost both Hayden Wesneski and Ronel Blanco for the season. The team is likely desperate to get Arrighetti back in the rotation, but he will need to throw a few bullpens first before being cleared for a rehab assignment. An early July return feels likely.
