Coming off a rookie season that saw him strike out 171 batters over 145 innings, Arrighetti had some buzz in fantasy drafts last spring. Unfortunately, injuries limited the 26-year-old to just seven starts and 35.1 innings for the Astros in 2025. The primary culprit in Arrighett's lost season was a freak accident during batting practice in early April that resulted in a fractured right thumb and four-month absence. Arrighetti then had all of September wiped out by right elbow inflammation, though he's expected to enter 2026 with a clean bill of health. What Arrighetti did in a limited sample in 2025 didn't quell concerns about his control (12.8 percent walk rate) or home run issues (six allowed in 35.1 frames), and his strikeout rate dipped below 20 percent. The swing-and-miss should come back, but the righty is likely to be a volatile fantasy commodity even if he stays healthy in 2026. Read Past Outlooks
