Spencer Arrighetti of Houston Astros Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Broken Right Thumb, Expected Return in Mid-July

Spencer Arrighetti's injury means the Astros will be without one of their starting pitchers for a bit. Before the injury, he had a record of 1-1 with an ERA of 5.59 in two games. Arrighetti's absence might affect the team's rotation, giving other pitchers more starts.

His performance in spring training showed promise with a 3.71 ERA over six games. The Astros will likely rely more on their other starters like Framber Valdez and Hunter Brown. The team will need to adjust their pitching strategy while Arrighetti recovers.
