Blue Jays Consider Moving Spencer Arrighetti to Bullpen Amid Postseason Push

As the MLB regular season nears its end, the Toronto Blue Jays are evaluating the possibility of moving Spencer Arrighetti to the bullpen to enhance their chances in the tight AL wild-card race. Currently, the team is just one game away from securing a wild-card position.

Arrighetti has struggled since joining the Blue Jays, recording an 0-4 record with an 8.04 ERA over four appearances, including two starts. His recent outing against the Kansas City Royals saw him allowing six earned runs in 4 2/3 innings, highlighting ongoing issues with command and pitch execution.

Transitioning Arrighetti to a relief role could alleviate some pressure, allowing him to pitch shorter stints and focus on attacking hitters. This change may also help him regain his fastball velocity and improve his performance, especially after dealing with a foot injury prior to joining the team.
