The launcher starting from the Astros of Houston, Spencer Arighetti, underwent an unhappy injury on Monday before the team’s match against the Seattle Mariners at the T-Mobile Park.
Arrighetti, 25, was hit by an online journey while he was playing Catch in the left field during the practice of the striker and suffered a broken thumb, the astros said in a statement.
Arighetti’s thumb injury was on its launch hand. The team has not yet provided a calendar for their return.

Arrighetti made two starts for the astros this season and went 1-1 with an MPM of 5.59 out of 9.2 work sleeves. Last season, Arighetti appeared in 29 games and managed 28 departures. He went 7-13 and succeeded in an MPM of 4.53 in 145 rounds and withdrew 171 strikers.
The absence of Arrighetti is the one that astros can poorly deal, because their rotation was already hampered by injuries.
The team has four starting launchers on the injured list, some closer to the return than others. Lance McCullers Jr. is rehabilitated in Triple-A and could come back soon.

However, he is the only injured starter launcher near returning. JP France is expected to return to the stars break at the earliest after undergoing surgery to repair a torn right shoulder last July.
Luis Garcia was donated to his recovery from Tommy John surgery during training in the spring and was transferred to the 60 -day IL Monday with inflammation of the elbow. Cristian Javier is still recovering from Tommy John’s surgery and may be back in the second half of the season.

In addition to being without McCullers, France, Garcia and Javier, they are now without Arighetti.
The Astros have a 4-6 sheet to start the season, but beat the Mariners 4-3 on Monday. They will play the second match in their three game series Tuesday at 9:40 p.m. HE.
