Spencer Arrighetti Officially Lands On 15-Day Injured List
1 week agoThe Houston Astros officially placed right-hander Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with a fractured right thumb and recalled reliever Luis Contreras from the minors in a corresponding move. In a freak incident, Arrighetti broke his thumb during batting practice before Monday's contest against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park. It's a tough break for the 25-year-old, who will most likely miss at least a month of action. Even though Arrighetti has a 5.59 ERA (4.62 FIP) and 0.93 WHIP with eight strikeouts and five starts in his first two starts this year, fantasy managers in mixed leagues should be looking to stash him in an IL spot. The Astros haven't revealed their plans yet as to who will replace the second-year starter in the rotation.
