Spencer Arrighetti Won't Need Surgery On His Thumb
1 week agoHouston Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) won't need surgery on his fractured thumb, although manager Joe Espada said Arrighetti will be in a cast for "two or two and a half weeks." After that, he will undergo follow-up imaging to make sure everything is healing properly. It's good news for the 25-year-old, but the Astros still expect him to miss around six weeks after breaking his thumb in a freak incident during batting practice before Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Fantasy managers will want to stay patient and keep the young pitcher stashed in an IL spot while he recovers. The former sixth-rounder in 2021 out of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette had allowed six earned runs while walking five and striking out eight in 9 2/3 inning in his first two starts in 2025 before the injury. Stay tuned for who might replace Arrighetti in Houston's starting rotation.
