Spencer Arrighetti Expecting To Make His Next Start
6 months agoHouston Astros rookie right-hander Spencer Arrighetti (calf) said that he is expecting to make his next scheduled start on Monday in San Francisco against the Giants. Arrighetti was removed from his last start early on Tuesday after three innings against the St. Louis Cardinals due to a left-calf contusion when he was hit by a line drive in the second inning. "It's not bad," Arrighetti said of his injury. "I think I'll be just fine." The 24-year-old avoided any structural damage to his leg and should be on a normal pitch count for his next outing in a good matchup in the Bay Area against the Gigantes. The former sixth-rounder in 2021 out of Louisiana Lafayette has expectedly had ups and downs in his first 10 big-league start, going 3-5 with a 5.79 ERA and 1.67 WHIP with 55 K's and 26 free passes. All of the injuries to Houston's starters this year essentially ensures that Arrighetti will stick around.
