Is this the beginning of the Arrighetti Era for the Astros? That’s probably too much to suggest. I am guessing he will be returned to the Sugar Land Space Cowboys after today’s game. But who knows what to expect.
Spencer Arrighetti, a sixth round pick in 2021 out of Louisiana-Lafayette, is generally viewed as the Astros’ top pitching prospect at age 24. The MLB Pipeline ranks him as the No. 3 Astros prospect. What we do know is that he will start Wednesday’s game in Kansas City.
After the placement of Framber Valdez on the Injured List with elbow inflammation, and less than perfect visibility regarding Framber’s future health status this season, Arrighetti could become an important addition to the Astros.
