Spencer Arrighetti injured in first rehab start with Blue Jays

Summary

Spencer Arrighetti exited his first minor-league rehab start with the Toronto Blue Jays due to an apparent injury. After being traded from the Houston Astros, Arrighetti had been on the injured list for right foot nerve irritation. The 28-year-old right-hander started for the Triple-A Buffalo Bison, throwing a perfect first inning but leaving after just 39 pitches in the third. Blue Jays manager John Schneider had intended to have Arrighetti make one minor-league appearance before joining the big-league rotation, a plan now uncertain due to the injury.
