This performance was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers given Arrighetti's rocky start to the season, which included a bloated 7.52 ERA and 1.90 WHIP through his first six starts. His 10.3 K/9 continues to be a silver lining, suggesting he has the ability to rack up strikeouts, but his overall effectiveness has been hampered by high BABIP and poor control.

Spencer Arrighetti struggled in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the Yankees, allowing five earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings.

This performance continues a troubling trend for Arrighetti, whose season ERA ballooned to 8.44 with a WHIP of 2.02 across five starts. Despite a solid 10.5 K/9 rate, his high BABIP of .413 and poor strikeout-to-walk ratio of 1.92 suggest that he's been both unlucky and inefficient. Fantasy managers should be wary of using Arrighetti in their lineups until he shows signs of substantial improvement, as his current form presents too much risk for negative impact on team statistics.

Spencer Arrighetti delivered a somewhat solid outing, allowing two earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings in Thursday's 8-2 victory over the Guardians.

Despite the high season ERA of 8.27 and WHIP of 1.96, this performance could signal a turning point for Arrighetti, who has struggled significantly in his previous starts. His 11.6 K/9 continues to be a bright spot, suggesting that he has the ability to overpower hitters when he's on his game. However, the high BABIP of .438 indicates that some bad luck has played a role in his inflated numbers. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his next few starts to see if this outing was a fluke or the start of a positive trend.
