Arrieta won't make his scheduled start Monday against the Yankees after the game was postponed due to COVID-19-related concerns, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The postponement comes after the Marlins had 12 players and two coaches test positive for COVID-19 within the last few days while the club played a three-game season-opening series in Philadelphia, per Jeff Passan and Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com. Since the Yankees would have had to use the visiting clubhouse at Citizens Bank Ballpark that the Marlins recently occupied, the game will be postponed Monday as the two teams explore alternative plans for the four-game series.

EDGE Analysis

With Zach Eflin's (back) status uncertain heading into Opening Day on Friday, the Phillies will start Vince Velasquez on Sunday, with Arrieta taking the mound for the opening game of the team's second series. The 34-year-old dealt with some shoulder stiffness in spring training but appeared to be fully healthy during summer camp. Arrieta made 24 starts for the Phillies last year, recording a 4.64 ERA and 110:51 K:BB over 135.2 innings.

Arrieta (elbow) will start Tuesday against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Arrieta attempted to pitch through a bone spur last season but ended up being shut down for season-ending surgery in August. The fact that he's pitching so early in the spring schedule suggests that he'll have no issues being ready to go by Opening Day.

Arrieta (elbow) is exercising his $20 million option for the 2020 season, Jeff Skversky of ABC 6 Action News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arrieta had the option to opt-out of the final year of his three-year $75 million deal he signed with the Phillies but instead has decided to remain with the organization for the 2020 season. Arrieta has not had the same success in Philadelphia as he did during his tenure in Chicago --- his 4.64 ERA along with his wins (8), strikeouts (110) and innings pitched (135.2) were all his worst marks since 2013. The right-hander's season ended prematurely after he underwent surgery back at the end of August to remove a bone spur from his elbow. Arrieta figures to be back at full strength for spring training and will try to return to dominant form in order to set himself up for a nice payday once he becomes a free agent following the 2020 season.

Arrieta underwent surgery Thursday to remove a bone spur from his elbow, Bob Brookover of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arrieta tried to pitch through the bone spur, but the results were ugly, and the Phillies ultimately decided to send him for surgery. He will finish the year with a 4.64 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 24 starts for Philadelphia. Expect Arrieta to be a full go at the start of spring training.

Arrieta, who is out for the year with a bone spur in his right elbow, will have surgery later this month, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was already done for the year, and hopefully this cleanup procedure allows him to be ready for spring training. Arrieta ends up with a 4.64 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, eight wins and 110 strikeouts in 135.2 innings.

Arrieta (elbow) was placed on the injured list Wednesday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arrieta has been pitching through a bone spur in his right elbow, and the decision to temporarily shut the right-hander down comes after he lasted just three innings in his most recent start Sunday against the Giants. The veteran hurler is scheduled to undergo further testing Thursday, at which point a decision regarding his status for the remainder of the season should be made. Arrieta didn't seem optimistic about his chances of returning to the rotation before the end of the year, stating he'll "probably miss the remainder of the season," per Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune. Logan Morrison was promoted from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move, while Zach Eflin is set to take Arrieta's spot in the rotation for the time being.
