Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara will be added to the team's 40-man roster and will be recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to start Tuesday's game against the Athletics, per Rangers Today's Jeff Wilson. The 30-year-old draws a favorable matchup, although he has compiled a lackluster 4.88 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 72 innings pitched at Triple-A this season. As such, fantasy managers should avoid him in daily leagues despite the good matchup.

The Texas Rangers designated starting pitcher Kohei Arihara for assignment on Sunday. He cleared waivers and he has now been outrighted to Triple-A Round Rock. The 29-year-old struggled in his first taste of the MLB this year, going 2-4 with a 6.64 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP over 10 starts. In his most recent start against the Houston Astros on September 15, he allowed eight hits and six earned runs over four innings. Arihara will remain in the Rangers organization for now and attempt to work his way back up to the big leagues.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara did not pitch well during Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros. He went four innings, eight hits allowed, six earned runs, and one strikeout in the 7-2 loss. Arihara gave up too early home runs and never settled into a groove. He'll take a rough 6.64 ERA and 1.43 WHIP into his next matchup versus the New York Yankees. Fantasy managers should continue to ignore Arihara for that contest.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara was surprisingly strong on the mound against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. He went 3 1/3 innings, one hit, one earned run, and three strikeouts in the 9-5 loss. He actually retired the first 10 batters he faced before allowing a solo home run to Brendan Rodgers. That was the last pitch Arihara threw in this game. Before this outing, Arihara made short rehab starts, so it makes sense that the Rangers limited him. He'll likely get a few more starts down the stretch, but won't have fantasy value tossing three or four innings.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara (shoulder) will make a rehab start with the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders on Sunday, the team announced on Twitter. Arihara has missed three months of the season after undergoing surgery to correct an aneurysm in his throwing shoulder back at the end of May. Arihara has struggled in his rookie season with Texas, going 2-3 with a 6.59 ERA, 1.535 WHIP and 13.4 percent strikeout rate over 28 2/3 innings of work. Managers in deeper formats might want to keep an eye out on how he does during this rehab assignment, in case he starts putting up better numbers now that the issue has been fixed, But more likely than not he can be left on the waiver wire in all formats.
