It has been a protracted street again for Spencer Arrighetti. The 25-year-old, who was extensively thought to be a sleeper coming into the 12 months, first fractured his thumb on April 5. He wasn’t having outing then, however his earlier one was a gem by which he allowed one hit over six innings. And let’s not overlook his last 10 appearances final 12 months, by which he put collectively a 2.72 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 11.4 Ok/9. They’re what made him a sleeper within the first place.
So will he have been well worth the wait when he makes his return Wednesday, lastly graduating from these IL stash rankings? That is anyone’s guess. His damage wasn’t the kind that may diminish his stuff, however he wasn’t precisely a totally shaped asset earlier than it and noticed a few of his outdated management issues return in his three rehab begins. If I might rank him right here (which I am unable to since he is coming off the IL), I’d place him twenty first, simply behind Dylan Crews within the “nonetheless a precedence on some degree” tier. He is a proficient pitcher with some upside to dream on, however you should not be pinning your entire hopes to him.
One other preseason hype man who might grow to be related once more is Victor Robles. He is apparently on the verge of a rehab project after so badly injuring his shoulder (fracture and dislocation) in April that many presumed he would not make it again this 12 months. He might make an influence in batting common and stolen bases down the stretch … or he might by no means be the identical as a result of the damage was so extreme. In classes leagues, notably five-outfield Rotisserie leagues, I would be seeking to stash him away now in hope for the very best.
Here is the place he locations amongst among the different damage instances.
Too priceless to drop, interval
Additionally actually troublesome to drop
Nonetheless a precedence on some degree
Stashing is solely a luxurious
