Out with thumb issue Arrieta was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right thumb abrasion Tuesday, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Arrieta was lit up for seven runs in just 3.1 innings of work his last time out against the Reds. It's possible the thumb issue was at least partly to blame, as he'd pitched to a 2.57 ERA across his first five starts. The veteran will be eligible to return May 14, though it's not yet clear whether he's expected to do so. The Cubs have three off days before then, so they may be able to get by without an extra starter if his absence is brief, though they'll call on Keegan Thompson for the nightcap of a doubleheader against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Impact The veteran right-hander lasted only 67 pitches (42 strikes) before being chased from the game. Arrieta has lost three of his last four outings, but this was the first time in 2021 he failed to pitch at least five innings or allowed more than three runs, and he came into Friday having served up only two homers in 28 innings. Arrieta will take a 4.31 ERA and 28:12 K:BB into his next start.

Takes tough-luck loss Arrieta (3-2) allowed one run on two hits and three walks over six innings Sunday, striking out eight and taking a loss against Milwaukee.

Impact The Brewers jumped all over Arrieta in the first inning as the first four batters reached base. He managed to escape the no-out, bases-loaded jam after allowing just one run and cruised for the rest of his outing. However, he was outdueled by Brandon Woodruff, and the Cubs were shut out with just four hits. Arrieta will carry a 2.57 ERA into Friday's road matchup with the Reds.

Picks up first loss of season Arrieta (1-2) gave up three runs on four hits and a walk while fanning five across five innings Wednesday against the Brewers. He was tagged with the loss.

Impact Arrieta delivered a strong performance on the mound but was a victim of another woeful performance from the Cubs offense, as Chicago only went 4-for-32 as a team with two extra-base hits in the entire game. The veteran right-hander opened the season with back-to-back quality starts and has yet to allow more than three earned runs in an outing, posting a 3.18 ERA and a 14:5 K:BB across 17 innings.

Improves to 2-0 Arrieta (2-0) allowed two runs on seven hits across six innings of work to secure the win Thursday against the Pirates. He walked three and struck out four.

Impact Arrieta now has two quality starts and two wins through his first two appearances, as he's allowed just three earned runs across 12 innings of work. He only has nine strikeouts in that time, which is about par for the course for the veteran, who hasn't posted a K/9 of 9.0 or better since 2015. It also should be noted that both of Arrieta's starts have come against Pittsburgh, which isn't considered a particularly potent offensive team. The righty might face a slightly stiffer challenge when he takes the hill again Wednesday against the Brewers.

Quality start in win over Bucs Arrieta (1-0) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over six innings in a 5-1 victory over the Pirates. He struck out five.

Impact The veteran right-hander is no longer the dominant force who won a Cy Young Award with the Cubs in 2015, but Arrieta still had a successful start to his second stint in Chicago. He threw 53 of 84 pitches for strikes and shut down the Bucs after they squeezed across a run in the first inning to pick up the quality start. Arrieta will get a rematch with the Pirates in his next scheduled start Thursday in Pittsburgh.
