Spencer Arrighetti expected to resume throwing in a day or two

Houston Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti is anticipated to begin throwing again within the next two days, according to manager Joe Espada. Arrighetti has been sidelined with nerve irritation in his right foot, which led to his placement on the injured list. He left his start early against Chicago after just one inning due to the issue. After receiving an injection and being evaluated, Espada noted that everything structurally appears fine with Arrighetti's foot. His timeline for returning to the mound will be clearer once he resumes throwing. In the meantime, the Astros have not announced how they will fill his rotation spot for the upcoming series finale against the Angels.
