2024 Fantasy Outlook
Thrust into the big-league rotation early in 2024 amid a slew of injuries, Arrighetti looks more like a streamer in very good matchups than an every-week consideration in mixed leagues. He was 93-97 mph with his fastball in his big-league debut but had sat in the low-90s in the minors, so perhaps he was a little juiced up. Arrighetti's high-80s cutter and low-80s sweeper are his go-to secondary offerings, with the sweeper grading as his best pitch. The 24-year-old righty has poor command, with his 9.1 percent walk rate at Double-A in 2023 the lone mark below 11 percent at any stop since 2022. He has gone fewer than five innings in all three of his 2024 starts, largely due to the fact he has walked 10 batters in 11.1 innings. If the Astros start getting starters back from the injured list, Arrighetti could head back to Triple-A or move into a long-relief role. Read Past Outlooks

Takes low-scoring loss
PHouston Astros
September 16, 2024
Arrighetti (7-13) allowed two runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings, taking the loss versus the Padres on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Arrighetti allowed an RBI double to Manny Machado in the first inning and a solo home run to Jackson Merrill in the fourth. This was Arrighetti's third straight outing without a win, though he's limited opponents to two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. The rookie right-hander is now at a 4.68 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 161:62 K:BB through 136.2 innings over 27 starts. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Angels.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top AL rookie in August
PHouston Astros
September 4, 2024
Arrighetti was named the American League Rookie of the Month for August on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie right-hander was inconsistent through his first 19 big-league starts as he closed July with a 5.58 ERA through 92 innings, but he got on track in August and posted a 1.95 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB across 32.1 innings. Arrighetti had a 3-2 record during the month but posted double-digit strikeouts in three of his five starts. The 24-year-old should stick in the rotation for the rest of the season, with Ronel Blanco likely to move to the bullpen for the stretch run. A strong finish could have Arrighetti in the mix to make postseason starts, though right now he may be on the outside looking in for a pared-down playoff rotation.
