Astros pitcher Spencer Arrighetti won't need surgery on broken right thumb, team says
SEATTLE (AP) — Houston right-hander Spencer Arrighetti will wear a cast but not require surgery on his broken right thumb, manager Joe Espada said Wednesday. Arrighetti was injured when he was hit by a line drive while playing catch in left field before Monday night's game at Seattle. 'We want to take it one step at a time, but no surgery is great news,' Espada said of the 25 year old, who was placed on the 15-day IL on Tuesday, retroactive to Monday. Espada said Arrighetti will be in a cast for up to two-and-a-half weeks. He'll then have additional testing before starting physical therapy. 'After that, if everything looks fine, we can probably start talking about him starting to play catch,' Espada said. 'He was upbeat this morning. I think it's good news.' Arrighetti is 1-1 with a 5.59 ERA in two starts this season. He allowed five runs and three hits in 3 2/3 innings during Saturday's 6-1 loss at Minnesota. The sixth-round pick in the 2021 amateur draft went 7-13 with a 4.53 ERA in 28 starts and one relief appearance as a rookie last season. The Astros also said right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. is scheduled to make his third rehab start this weekend on the road back from forearm surgery two years ago. McCullers, who had right forearm surgery in June 2023, is scheduled to start Saturday at Triple-A Sugar Land. The 31-year-old McCullers hasn't pitched since Game 3 of the 2022 World Series, when he took the loss against the Philadelphia Phillies. Houston won the series in six games. McCullers threw two innings and 35 pitches for Triple-A Sugar Land on March 30. He worked 1 2/3 innings for Double-A Corpus Christi on Saturday, allowing four hits, three walks and four runs, two earned, on 50 pitches. He is 49-32 with a 3.48 ERA in seven seasons, all with Houston. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press

Astros' Spencer Arrighetti breaks thumb in freak batting practice accident
Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti sustained an unfortunate injury on Monday prior to the team's game against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park. Arrighetti, 25, was hit by a line drive while playing catch in left field during batting practice and suffered a broken right thumb, the Astros said in a statement. The injury to Arrighetti's thumb was on his throwing hand. The team has not yet provided a timeline for his return. Arrighetti made two starts for the Astros this season and went 1-1 with a 5.59 ERA across 9.2 innings of work. Last season, Arrighetti appeared in 29 games and had 28 starts. He went 7-13 and had a 4.53 ERA across 145 innings and struck out 171 hitters. Arrighetti's absence is one the Astros can ill-afford, as their rotation was already hampered by injuries. The team has four starting pitchers on the injured list, with some closer to returning than others. Lance McCullers Jr. has been rehabbing in Triple-A and could return soon. However, he is the only injured starting pitcher close to returning. J.P. France is expected to come back at the All-Star break at the earliest after he underwent surgery to repair a torn right shoulder last July. Luis Garcia had a setback in his recovery from Tommy John surgery during spring training, and was transferred to the 60-day IL on Monday with elbow inflammation. Cristian Javier is still recovering from Tommy John surgery and will maybe return in the second half of the season. In addition to being without McCullers, France, Garcia and Javier, they are now without Arrighetti. The Astros are 4-6 to begin the season, but did beat the Mariners 4-3 on Monday. They will play the second game of their three-game series on Tuesday at 9:40 p.m. ET. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
