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.
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 in fantasy 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.
