Spencer Arrighetti Injury Update: 4/7/25

UPDATE: Arrighetti will not have surgery on his thumb. He will instead be in a cast for around two and a half weeks.

During batting practice on Monday, Spencer Arrighetti got hit by a batted ball on his pitching hand. The Astros announced that Arrighetti suffered a broken thumb. No further information has been released as of yet, in regards to surgery or recovery time, but Arrighetti will likely be out for an extended period of time.

It’s a tough blow for an Astros staff that is already down Shawn Dubin, J.P. France, Luis Garcia, Cristian Javier and Lance McCuller Jr.

In 9.2 innings pitched this season, Arrighetti wasn’t great, posting a 7.7% K-BB% and 4.64 FIP, but it’s early in the season. He was posting 20+ and even 30+ K-BB% in the minors.

There has not been an announcement as to who will be called up and/or replace Arrighetti in the rotation.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
