Spencer Arrighetti Suffers Broken Thumb
25 seconds agoHouston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) was struck in the pitching hand by a line drive while playing catch during batting practice on Monday. It was a freak accident that resulted in Arrighetti breaking his right hand. Ouch, Arrighetti is looking at an extended absence as he could require surgery to fix the issue. His next scheduled start was Friday versus the Los Angeles Angels. The Astros haven't announced who will make that start yet. Right now, Colton Gordon and A.J. Blubaugh are two popular names in Triple-A Sugar Land. The expectation is that Arrighetti will miss at least a month of action, but it could be longer if he needs surgery.
