Astros' Spencer Arrighetti fractures thumb during unusual batting practice mishap
Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti suffered a setback on Monday when he was hit by a line drive while playing catch during batting practice, resulting in a broken right thumb on his throwing hand. The team has not announced a timeframe for his return. Arrighetti has made two starts this season and previously appeared in 29 games last season. His absence adds to the challenges faced by the Astros, who are already dealing with injuries to several starting pitchers. Lance McCullers Jr. is nearing a return, while J.P. France, Luis Garcia, and Cristian Javier are still recovering from various issues. Despite these setbacks, the Astros managed a 4-3 win over the Mariners on Monday and will continue their series on Tuesday.
