Sent to minor leagues The Blue Jays optioned Arrighetti to their spring training complex Monday.

Impact Unless the Blue Jays deactivate another player in a corresponding transaction during the final week of the regular season, Arrighetti's 2026 campaign has likely come to an end. After being acquired from the Astros at the trade deadline, the right-hander was ineffective over his seven appearances (two starts) for the Blue Jays, pitching to a 6.35 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 19:14 K:BB in 22.2 innings. Arrighetti will have to battle for a spot in the Toronto rotation next spring.

Nabs ninth win as reliever Arrighetti (9-9) notched the win Sunday against Texas, striking out two while allowing two runs on two hits and two walks in 2.1 innings of relief

Impact Arrighetti was not nearly as effective as opener Spencer Miles, who fired three shutout innings, but Toronto provided enough run support to get Arrighetti credited with the win. The right-hander has now operated as a long reliever in five of his seven outings for the Blue Jays, but he's yet to cover at least five frames since coming over from Houston. He has a 6.35 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 19:14 K:BB over 22.2 innings for his new team, and it remains to be seen how he'll next be deployed once Trey Yesavage (knee) is reinstated from the injured list.

Could pitch in bulk relief Sunday Arrighetti could be a candidate to pitch in bulk relief behind starter Spencer Miles in Sunday's game against the Rangers, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Considering that Miles hasn't tossed more than two innings or 44 pitches in any appearance since the beginning of August, he's unlikely to work more than once through the batting order before handing the ball over to the bullpen. Arrighetti will be available on four days' rest and could be called upon to cover multiple frames once Miles exits the contest. Since being acquired from the Astros on Aug. 3, Arrighetti has made six appearances (two starts) for Toronto and has submitted a 6.20 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB across 20.1 innings.

Mops up in Tuesday's loss Arrighetti struck out two and gave up two unearned runs on one hit and two walks over two innings of relief in Tuesday's 10-1 loss to the Tigers.

Impact Arrighetti made his second consecutive relief appearance, pitching on two days' rest as part of a bullpen game. The Blue Jays didn't turn to Arrighetti until they were down 6-0 in the top of the seventh, with his usage in a mop-up role likely indicating that he's lost his grip on a rotation spot. Since being acquired from the Astros at the trade deadline, Arrighetti has submitted a 6.20 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB in 20.1 innings across six appearances.

Nabs win in relief Saturday Arrighetti (8-9) picked up the win in Saturday's 7-3 victory over the Orioles, allowing one unearned run on two hits and two walks over 2.2 innings of relief. He struck out two.

Impact The right-hander was the third of seven Toronto pitchers to take the mound on a bullpen day, and Arrighetti got credited with the win in a game his team never trailed in. It was his first victory in a Blue Jays uniform, and over five appearances (two starts) since being acquired at the trade deadline from the Astros, he's produced a 6.87 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB in 18.1 innings. Arrighetti will continue being plugged in as necessary to help cover a couple holes in the rotation, but after throwing 50 pitches (26 strikes) on Saturday, it doesn't seem like he's viewed as a real candidate to make a traditional start.

Preparing for bulk role Saturday Arrighetti is slated to pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Spencer Miles in Saturday's game against the Orioles in Toronto, Patrick Ho of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Since being acquired from the Astros at the trade deadline, Arrighetti has gone 0-4 with an 8.04 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 6.8 K-BB% over 15.2 innings across four appearances (two starts) for the Blue Jays. Toronto is hoping to coax better results from Arrighetti by having him enter after Miles covers the first few innings of Saturday's contest, but Arrighetti's recent form makes him far from a dependable streaming option.

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.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

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.
