The Houston Astros holder Spencer Arrighetti suffered an unfortunate injury on Monday before the team of the Seattle sailors in T-Mobile Park.
Arrighetti, 25, was hit by a line trip while playing in the left garden during batting practice and suffered a broken right thumb, the stars said in a statement.
Arrighetti’s thumb injury was in his launch hand. The team has not yet provided a timeline for their return.

Arrighetti made two openings for the stars this season and had 1-1 with an effectiveness of 5.59 in 9.2 work tickets. Last season, Arrighetti appeared in 29 games and had 28 openings. It was 7-13 and had an effectiveness of 4.53 in 145 entries and struck out 171 batters.
The absence of Arrighetti is one that the stars can be wrong, since their rotation was already hindered by injuries.
The team has four initial pitchers on the injured list, with some closer to return than others. Lance McCullers Jr. has been rehabilitating in triple-A and could return soon.

However, he is the only injured launcher near returning. JP France is expected to return to the All-Star Break as soon as possible after surgery to repair a right shoulder torn last July.
Luis García had a setback in his recovery of Tommy John surgery during spring training, and was transferred to the 60 -day IL on Monday with inflammation of the elbow. Cristian Javier is still recovering from Tommy John surgery and maybe he will return in the second half of the season.

In addition to being without McCullers, France, García and Javier, now they don’t have Arrighetti.
The stars have 4-6 to start the season, but they beat the sailors 4-3 on Monday. They will play the second game of their three -game series on Tuesday at 9:40 pm et.
