Jake Arrieta Exits Padres Debut With Hamstring Strain
3 years agoSan Diego Padres starting pitcher Jake Arrieta (hamstring) exited his first start with the team on Wednesday with a mild left hamstring strain, according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. Arrieta was seen grabbing at his hamstring shortly after allowing a fourth-inning home run to Rockies catcher Dom Nunez, and would exit after allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three over 3 1/3 innings of work in his Padres debut. This has been the worst season of Arrieta's career, as he entered Wednesday with a 5-11 record, 6.88 ERA and 1.761 WHIP over 86 1/3 innings pitched. At this point there's no fantasy value to be found in Arrieta's arm, and he should be left on the waiver wire in all formats.
