2026 MLB Power Rankings: The X-Factors Who Could Swing The Season

Struggles continue in loss Arrighetti (7-9) took the loss against the Royals on Sunday, allowing six runs on four hits and three walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Arrighetti never quite find his footing Sunday, coughing up three runs in the first inning. The right-hander's effectiveness continues to take a tailspin, as he's given up at least four runs in six of his last 13 outings while working fewer than five innings in five straight. He'll take an 8.04 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB over 15.2 innings for Toronto into his next scheduled appearance against the Tigers.

Now lined up to start Sunday Arrighetti will start against the Royals on Sunday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Impact A previous report had indicated that Arrighetti would be pitching behind an opener for a second straight outing, but it now appears the right-hander will work as a traditional starter. Arrighetti has struggled to a 6.55 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with a 10:5 K:BB over 11 innings across three starts as a Blue Jay, and he hasn't thrown more than 79 pitches in any of those outings, so he's a very shaky fantasy play despite the favorable matchup.

Slated for bulk-relief role Sunday Arrighetti is expected to work in bulk relief behind an opener Sunday versus Kansas City, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Arrighetti is slated to work behind an opener for the third time in what will be his fourth outing since joining Toronto. The right-hander has struggled as a member of the Blue Jays regardless of his role, as he's given up nine runs (eight earned) over 11 innings so far. Zwelling suggests that Arrighetti will be available for up to 85 pitches Sunday. It's unclear who will serve as the opener, but Spencer Miles worked in that capacity for Arrighetti's last appearance and may do the same Sunday.

Takes loss in bulk-relief role Arrighetti (7-8) took the loss against the Guardians on Tuesday, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two across 3.2 innings.

Impact Spencer Miles drew the start for the Blue Jays on Tuesday, and Arrighetti took over in the third inning after Ricky Tiedemann pitched the second. Arrighetti kept the Guardians off the board until the fifth inning, when he gave up a two-run homer to Patrick Bailey, and the former did not receive enough run support from his Blue Jays teammates to avoid the loss. Arrighetti has been tagged with the loss in each of his first three outings with the Blue Jays, allowing nine runs (eight earned) on 10 hits (including three home runs) and five walks while striking out 10 batters across 11 innings. He could be used as a starter or in a bulk-relief role this weekend on the road against the Royals.

Pegged for bulk relief Arrighetti is expected to be deployed as a bulk reliever in Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Spencer Miles will open for the Blue Jays before Arrighetti assumes the bulk of the workload. Arrighetti has made one traditional start and one bulk relief appearance so far for Toronto, allowing seven runs (six earned) with an 8:4 K:BB over 7.1 frames.

Jumped early in seventh loss Arrighetti (7-7) took the loss against the Royals on Thursday, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out four.

Impact Kansas City pounced on Arrighetti right away Thursday, plating four runs in the first two innings. The right-hander had produced a 0.93 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in his first eight starts of the year but has seen his effectiveness off a cliff since the beginning of June, posting an 8.19 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in his last 48.1 innings (10 outings). He'll try to right the ship his next time out in Cleveland, where he'll take a season 4.81 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 95:54 K:BB over 95.1 innings.

Shaky in Jays debut Arrighetti (7-6) took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on three hits and two walks over 3.1 innings of relief as the Blue Jays fell 3-1 to the Yankees. He struck out four.

Impact Mason Fluharty couldn't get through the first inning as the opener, walking two batters in two-thirds of an inning, so Arrighetti was put in a tough spot right away as the bulk reliever in his Blue Jays debut. While the former Astro was able to escape that jam by striking out George Lombard, he ran into trouble of his own in the second after a leadoff walk. Arrighetti got lifted after 61 pitches (37 strikes), a small step up in workload from his final rehab start Sunday, but even after he gets fully stretched out he'll be tough to rely upon on fantasy rosters as he pitches through a nerve issue in his right foot. He's set to make his next outing, either as a bulk reliever or traditional starter, at home next week against the Royals.

Activated from IL The Blue Jays activated Arrighetti (foot) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Impact While Mason Fluharty is getting the start as the opener Friday against the Yankees, Arrighetti is expected to pitch as the bulk reliever. The right-hander has been shelved since July 24 and was acquired from the Astros at the trade deadline earlier this month in exchange for Daulton Varsho. Arrighetti owns a 4.60 ERA and 87:50 K:BB across 88 innings this season.

On track to return Friday Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that Arrighetti (foot) is "on track to pitch [Friday] if we need him," Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Arrighetti threw 3.2 innings and 50 pitches in a rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, and he came out of a bullpen session Wednesday with no issues. While the right-hander appears in line to be part of Toronto's pitching plan Friday against the Yankees, it's unclear whether it will be a traditional start or in bulk relief. It will be Arrighetti's Blue Jays debut, as he was acquired via trade after landing on the 15-day injured list in late July with Morton's neuroma in his right foot.

Option to start Friday Arrighetti (foot) could be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Yankees, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Arrighetti threw 3.2 innings and 50 pitches in a rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, so if he does come back Friday he would be facing workload limitations. The right-hander is dealing with Morton's Neuroma in his right foot, and the expectation is that he will have to pitch through some discomfort down the stretch for the Blue Jays.
