Nearing throwing program
Arrighetti (foot) received an injection Monday and could be cleared to start a throwing program within the next few days, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis
Arrighetti was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday after being diagnosed with right foot nerve irritation. A timeline for his return to the bump remains up in the air, and while it's promising news that he could gain clearance to throw later in the week, it will ultimately depend on how his foot responds to the injection.

Lands on 15-day IL
The Astros placed Arrighetti on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right foot nerve irritation, Julia Morales of Space City Home Network reports.
Analysis
The injury surfaced during Arrighetti's start against the White Sox on Friday, which forced him to leave after allowing three runs on two hits and two walks while hitting two batters in one inning. He'll be sidelined until at least mid-August, but his recovery timeline should become more clear once he's cleared to resume baseball activities. Bryan King was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move.

Dealing with foot injury
Arrighetti was pulled from his start Friday against the White Sox due to right foot nerve irritation.
Analysis
Arrighetti gave up two hits and two walks and hit two batters while surrendering three runs in the first inning. He then felt discomfort on the mound while warming up for the second and left the game with a trainer. Arrighetti is lined up to take the mound again Wednesday against the Angels, though it remains unclear whether he'll be ready to go by then.

Exits with trainer
Arrighetti was removed from Friday's game against the White Sox with an apparent injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Arrighetti gave up three runs during the first inning and was taken out of the game by a trainer after throwing a few warm-up pitches ahead of the second frame. It's unknown what exactly he's dealing with, but the Astros should provide an update on his status in the near future.
