Astros have lost Spencer Arighetti On the list of injured this week, while the law suffered an inch broken on a shot injury when it was struck by a bullet during stick training. Manager Joe Espada said this afternoon that Arrighetti would avoid surgery but will remain in a casting for at least two weeks (relayed by Chandler Rome of athletics). He will be sent for imaging at that time.
Arrighetti will clearly be put aside beyond the minimum of 15 days. Astros need to add someone to the rotation behind Brade Valdez,, Brown hunter,, Hayden Wesneski And Ronel Blanco. It seems that the right -handed recruit Ryan Gusto Go have the first opportunity. The Astros list Gusto as the probable starter for their match against the angels on Saturday.
Assuming that the plans do not change in the next two days, Gusto will make his first beginning of the big league. He was aligned to start the last game of the regular season in 2024. Houston had already won a place in the playoffs and called Gusto to rest their starters in the playoffs. This match was canceled because of the rain, which delayed the beginning of the 26 -year -old league of six months.
Gusto launched well enough during spring training to break the camp, although in a rescue role. He launched eight rounds in four appearances, giving only one point with nine stick withdrawals and two steps. Gusto worked 2-3 rounds during each of his first three outings. He launched a round and 15 throws in the additional victory of yesterday at Seattle. He will rest three days before his first departure. Gusto began 26 of the 29 triple-A appearances last season. He worked at a solid average deserved race of 3.70 with a 22.6% withdrawal rate in 148 1/3 innings in the Pacific Coast League.
Houston has days off in each of the next three Thursdays. This allows them to operate without a fifth starter after the appearance of Gusto on Saturday until their series against the Blue Jays between April 21 and April 21 to April 23. Lance McCullers Jr. Figures to come back before Arrighetti. He made the start of rehabilitation of the minor leagues, launching 50 throws in an outing for corpus Christi double-A on Saturday. McCullers has not presented an MLB game from the World Series 2022 due to several arm injuries, so the astros will surely be cautious when they strengthen the law.
